Nuova Simonelli Appia Life Compact 2 Group Volumetric
Couldn't load pickup availability
The Nuova Simonelli Appia Life Compact 2 Group Volumetric fits two groups into a body around 55 cm wide, so a busy café, restaurant or coffee cart can run two shots at once on a counter that would normally only take a single group.
It's based on the Appia Life, Nuova Simonelli's workhorse for medium to high volume service. Volumetric buttons on each group repeat your programmed shots, the Soft Infusion System evens out extraction, and an insulated 7.5 L boiler feeds two steam wands and a hot water wand through the rush.
Features
Two groups, compact body: Full 2-group output for cafés that are short on counter space.
Volumetric dosing: Programmable buttons on each group 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.
Two steam wands: Push-pull steam levers, so two drinks can be steamed at the same time.
Hot water wand: For tea, Americanos and warming cups.
Automatic group cleaning: A built-in cleaning cycle makes closing time quicker.
Available on request: EasyCream automatic milk frothing and cool-touch steam wands.

Nuova Simonelli has made espresso machines in the Marche region of Italy since 1936. The Appia Life builds on the Appia, one of its most widely used café machines, with a refreshed design and lower energy use.
The Compact 2 Group puts two groups in a narrower body, for busy cafés and restaurants that are short on counter space. The description above covers the features and full specifications.
