Simonelli Appia Compact 2 Group White + Easy Cream

The Nuova Simonelli Appia Compact 2 Group White is a high-performance commercial espresso machine designed for cafes and restaurants that need to maximize their output in a smaller space. It is a classic workhorse known for its reliability and efficiency.

Key Features

Compact Design: The "Compact" designation is a major selling point. This machine is built to have a smaller footprint than a standard two-group machine, making it ideal for coffee carts, small cafes, bakeries, or restaurants with limited counter space.

Semi-Automatic or Volumetric: The Appia Compact 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 shot-to-shot consistency and freeing up the barista to multitask.

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

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 clean White body and an ergonomic design, including push-pull steam levers that reduce strain on the wrists. The steam wands are easy to maneuver.

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

Raised Group Heads: The Appia Compact 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.
