Simonelli Appia Life 1 Gr Volumetric Black + Easy Cream

The Nuova Simonelli Appia Life 1 Gr Volumetric Black with Easy Cream 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 combines a small footprint with advanced technology for high-quality, consistent results.

Key Features

Appia Life Series: This is the latest generation of the Appia line, featuring a new thermal system and DRYTEX insulation on the boiler. This makes the machine more energy-efficient (up to 13% savings) and helps to maintain a stable temperature, which is crucial for consistent espresso quality.

Single-Group Design: The "1 Gr" 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.

Volumetric Dosing: The "Volumetric" feature is crucial for consistency. It allows the barista to program a precise water dose for a shot. Once programmed, the machine will dispense the exact same amount of water every time at the push of a button. This ensures shot-to-shot consistency and frees up the barista to multitask.

Easy Cream System: This is a key distinguishing feature and a major workflow-enhancing upgrade. The Easy Cream system automates the milk frothing process. The barista simply places the steam wand in the milk pitcher and presses a button. An integrated probe monitors the milk temperature and an air induction system injects the perfect amount of air to create smooth, velvety microfoam. The system automatically shuts off once the desired temperature and texture are reached, ensuring consistent results regardless of the barista's skill level.

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 stylish Black body with an ergonomic design, including a push-pull steam lever that reduces strain on the wrist. The Cool Touch wands are insulated to prevent burns and are easier to clean as milk doesn't bake onto the surface.
