Simonelli Appia Life 2 gr Compact Volumetric Red

The Nuova Simonelli Appia Life 2 Gr Compact Volumetric Red is a high-performance commercial espresso machine designed for cafes and restaurants that need to maximize their output in a smaller space. It is part of the latest generation of the Appia series, 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, bakeries, or cafes with limited counter space.

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

Appia Life Series: The Appia Life 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 and helps to maintain consistent temperatures.

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 Red body with an ergonomic design, including push-pull steam levers that reduce strain on the wrists. The Cool Touch wands are insulated to prevent burns and are easier to clean.

High Productivity: Despite its compact size, the Appia Life is a powerful workhorse. The machine's large boiler (7.5-liter capacity) provides ample steam power and hot water capacity for a significant volume of milk-based drinks and back-to-back orders.

Automatic Cleaning: The Appia Life includes an automatic cleaning program, which simplifies daily maintenance and ensures the machine stays in top condition.
