Faema President GTi Touch A2 vs Faema President GTi A/2: 3-Button or 5-Button?

Choosing a commercial espresso machine for a high-volume UK coffee shop is a significant investment. The Faema President GTi series is a frontrunner for 2026, offering a blend of 1960s heritage and cutting-edge thermal stability. However, the biggest decision for baristas and owners often comes down to the interface: the GTi Touch A2 or the tactile GTi A/2 (available with 3 or 5 buttons).

Here is how these professional models compare in terms of workflow, precision, and daily performance.

The GTi Thermal Core: Why Both Models Lead the Market

Regardless of the button layout, every Faema President GTi A2 is a multi-boiler powerhouse. It features independent 600cc coffee boilers for each group, ensuring that a light-roast Ethiopian espresso and a dark-roast Italian blend can be brewed simultaneously at their own perfect temperatures.

Key shared features include:

• Smart Boiler Technology: Patented software that manages steam and hot water to ensure constant pressure during peak morning rushes.

• Green Machine Energy Saving: Software that lowers boiler pressure during quiet periods to reduce electricity costs.

• Cold Touch Steam Wands: Essential for safety and easier cleaning in busy environments.

Faema President GTi Touch A2 Group: The Digital Edge

The GTi Touch is designed for the modern "theatre" of coffee. Each group head features a high-definition, customisable touchscreen.

• Who it’s for: Specialty roasters and high-end cafes that change coffee beans frequently.

• The Advantage: You can visually adjust infusion times and temperature curves directly on the group head. It’s intuitive, sleek, and removes the need for complex button-press codes when "dialling in."

• The Look: With its tempered glass back panel and pewter finishes, the Touch model is a visual masterpiece on any coffee bar.

Faema President GTi A/2: The Tactile Powerhouse

For many UK baristas, the "click" of a physical button is irreplaceable for speed and muscle memory. The A/2 model offers two distinct configurations:

1. The 3-Button Layout (Specialty Focused)

Specifically designed for the specialty coffee movement, the 3-button setup is minimalist and efficient.

• Config: Single Shot, Double Shot, and a Manual/Purge button.

• Why choose it: It reduces "choice paralysis" for staff. If your shop only serves specific brew ratios, this layout keeps the workflow clean and professional.

2. The 5-Button Layout (Volume Focused)

This is the "classic" commercial setup, perfect for high-street cafes and hotels.

• Config: Short Espresso, Long Espresso, 2x Short, 2x Long, and a Stop button.

• Why choose it: It provides maximum flexibility for different cup sizes (from 8oz to 12oz) without the barista needing to watch every second of the shot. It’s the ultimate "set and forget" workhorse for high-traffic sites.

Technical Comparison: Faema President GTi A2 Series

Which Model is Best for Your Business?

The Faema President GTi Touch A2 is the machine of choice if you want to showcase technology and precision. However, the Faema President GTi A/2 with 5 buttons remains the industry standard for sheer reliability and speed in high-pressure environments.

If you are looking for a cleaner, more focused aesthetic that aligns with third-wave coffee standards, the 3-button version offers the perfect middle ground.
