Faema President: The GTI Precision vs. The Thermosiphonic Soul

If you are looking to invest in a high-end commercial espresso machine for a UK cafe or boutique hotel, the Faema President range is likely at the top of your list. Reimagining an icon of Italian design, these machines offer a blend of retro aesthetics and cutting-edge extraction technology.

However, choosing between the Faema President GTi A2 and the President Thermosiphonic (A2 3-Button) version is a decision that impacts your daily workflow, energy bills, and coffee quality.

Comparison: GTi Multi-Boiler vs. Thermosiphonic

Feature Faema President GTi A2 President Thermosiphonic A2
Heating System Independent Multi-Boiler (GTi) Single Boiler with Heat Exchanger
Thermal Control Precise degrees per group head Adjustable Thermal Balancing System
Interface 3-Button with Digital Display Classic 3-Button Simplicity
Milk System Autosteam Milk4 (Custom textures) Traditional or optional Autosteam
Power Efficiency Smart Boiler & Energy Saving Mode Classic Boiler Insulation

Faema President Thermosiphonic A2: The High-Volume Workhorse

The President Thermosiphonic is the ultimate "set and forget" machine for busy British high streets. It uses the legendary E61-style circulation but adds a modern twist: the Adjustable Thermal Balancing System.

  • Consistent Extraction: Unlike older heat exchangers, you can use external knobs to fine-tune the temperature of each group head. This is vital if you are running a traditional Italian roast on one side and a slightly lighter house blend on the other.

  • Barista Efficiency: The 3-button interface is intuitive for staff of all experience levels. When paired with the Autosteam wand, it allows baristas to multitask during the morning rush, delivering perfectly textured milk at the touch of a button.

  • Built to Last: With an 11-litre boiler and a sturdy stainless steel chassis, it handles the back-to-back demand of a high-volume gastro-pub or deli without breaking a sweat.

Faema President GTi A2: The Speciality Specialist

The GTi version is designed for the modern "third-wave" coffee shop where precision is non-negotiable. It moves away from the single-boiler setup in favour of independent coffee boilers.

  • Total Thermal Control: The GTi heating system gives you absolute control over the infusion stage and the exact water temperature for every shot. If you rotate guest single-origin beans, this machine allows you to "dial in" specific recipes with scientific accuracy.

  • Smart Boiler Technology: Faema’s Smart Boiler system manages steam and water reserves to ensure that even during peak hours, your steam pressure never drops. It also features a dedicated Energy Saving Mode to lower boiler pressure during quiet periods, reducing overheads.

  • The Interface: While it retains the tactile 3-button feel, the backlit display provides real-time feedback on extraction times and temperatures, making it a favourite for professional baristas.

Which machine is right for your business?

The choice depends on your menu and your team.

The Faema President Thermosiphonic A2 is the best value for businesses that need a reliable, high-output machine that looks stunning and is easy for any staff member to operate. It’s the "Barista's best friend" for speed and reliability.

However, if you are a speciality coffee roaster or a cafe owner who wants to experiment with different roast profiles and demands the highest level of temperature stability, the President GTi A2 is the superior investment. It offers the precision of a laboratory with the soul of an Italian classic.
