Nuova Simonelli Appia Life 1 Group Volumetric
Couldn't load pickup availability
The Nuova Simonelli Appia Life 1 Group Volumetric is a single-group commercial machine for cafés, restaurants, hotels and bakeries that want proper espresso without giving up a big stretch of counter. It's built on the Appia, one of Nuova Simonelli's most widely used café machines, with a refreshed design and lower energy use.
At around 40 cm wide it fits where a two-group won't, and the volumetric buttons mean everyone on your team pulls the same shot. The Soft Infusion System eases water onto the coffee before full pressure for more even, repeatable extractions, and the insulated 5 L boiler keeps steam and hot water ready through service.
Features
Volumetric dosing: Programmable buttons repeat the shot volume you set, whoever is on the bar.
Soft Infusion System (SIS): A gentle pre-infusion at the start of every shot for more consistent extraction.
Insulated boiler: Holds heat for longer, cutting energy use and helping temperature stability.
Steam wand: Push-pull steam lever for quick, easy milk texturing.
Hot water wand: For tea, Americanos and warming cups.
Built for daily service: Stainless steel body with a practical, easy-to-learn layout.
Available on request: EasyCream automatic milk frothing, cool-touch steam wand, raised groups for taller cups and a hot water economizer.
