Description

Nuova Simonelli Appia Life, based on the time-tested Appia, is ideal for those wanting excellent performance and reliability, but now with a lower profile, improved features, and easier serviceability. And Appia Life delivers a 13% energy savings, and a 20% less environmental impact (based on an independent Life Cycle Assessment analysis).

Though still lower-priced, Appia Life has a new design, improved brew groups & shot control buttons, and a new XT Series with advanced features (like the TFT Digital Display with PID). All Appia Life models retain standard features like soft infusion, powerful steam with push-pull controls, cool-touch wands with steam tips ideal for micro-foaming, automatic back-flushing, and much more. Available in a Black, Pearl White or Heart Red finish, with matching grinders available.

3 Models Available:

Semi-Automatic (Standard Series): These lowest-priced models are still capable of delivering high quality espresso. Semi-automatic means the barista is in complete control of the machine during the extraction process, both starting and ending the shot according their trained eye, or by using a separate timer or scale. Semi-Automatics have no programming or EasyCream automatic steam wand options.
Suitable for: demanding professionals, smaller equipment budgets

Volumetric (Standard Series): These models allow a barista to program 4 espresso shot volumes per group (single/double/short/long), thereby pulling shots at that exact volume every time with the touch of a button. Shots are more consistent between users and because the barista doesnt have to monitor the espresso there is more time to focus on steaming, interact with customers, or begin another order. Volumetrics also allow for an EasyCream option.
Suitable for: restaurants, hotels, shops, offices, locations with less experienced baristas

XT Series (Digit): These models are Volumetric machines, but also include LED worklights, and a TFT Digital Display (to easily program espresso shot dosages, brightness, pre-infusion, several maintenance features, on/off times, and display various counters), along with many more smart functions, including a Remote Control feature. The TFT also displays the espresso shot times, eliminating the need for external timers.
Suitable for: restaurants, hotels, shops, offices, locations with less experienced baristas, locations with remote owners/managers

4 Versions Available:

The Appia Life Standard Series includes a 1-Group version with 1 hot water spout and 1 steam wand (or substitute an EasyCream steam wand on the Volumetric version), or a 2-Group Compact, a 2-Group Full-Size, and a 3-Group version, each with 1 hot water spout and 2 steam wands (or substitute one EasyCream steam wand on the Volumetric versions). Each version is available as a Volumetric or a Semi-Automatic model.

The Appia Life XT (Digit) Series includes a 2-Group Full-Size and a 3-Group version only, each with 1 hot water spout and 2 steam wands (or substitute one EasyCream steam wand).
