Simonelli Appia 1 Group Black

The Nuova Simonelli Appia 1 Group Black is a professional-grade espresso machine designed for commercial use in low-volume settings, such as small cafes, offices, or for the serious home espresso enthusiast. It is a workhorse that combines a compact size with a simple, durable design for high-quality, consistent results.

Key Features

Single-Group Design: The "1 Group" indicates it is a single-group machine. This makes it ideal for locations with limited space or for those who do not require the high volume of a multi-group machine.

Semi-Automatic or Volumetric: The Appia 1 Group is available in both semi-automatic and volumetric configurations. The semi-automatic version gives the barista full manual control over the shot time, while the volumetric version allows for programmable shot volumes, ensuring consistency and freeing up the barista to multitask.

Heat Exchange System: The machine is built with a heat exchange boiler. This system allows a barista to brew espresso and steam milk simultaneously without any waiting time, which is essential for efficiency.

Soft Infusion System: This system gently wets the coffee grounds with low-pressure water before the full brewing pressure is applied. This helps to prevent channeling and ensures a more even and consistent extraction, leading to a better-tasting espresso.

Ergonomics and Build: The machine is designed with the barista in mind. It features a sleek Black body and an ergonomic design, including push-pull steam levers that reduce strain on the wrists. The steam wand is easy to maneuver.

High-Quality Components: The machine uses professional-grade components that are built to withstand the demands of a commercial environment. Its durable construction ensures longevity and reliable performance.

Raised Group Heads: The Appia 1 Group often comes with raised group heads, which allow for taller cups and mugs to be placed directly underneath the portafilter, accommodating a wide range of drink sizes.
