Nuova Simonelli - Appia - Compact - 2-Group

What is the Appia Compact?

The Appia Compact by Nuova Simonelli is the only compact 2-group we offer, designed to work for locations where space is limited and budget cannot go above a certain level. It's an extremely well built machine, offering excellent range of features and build quality for the money.  It's automatic, so doses espresso volumes based on time, and provides many of the key features that much higher end machines offer.

Who's it suitable for?

It's a machine that we offer to a wide range of customers across small speciality cafes, schools, hotels and restaurants to great effect.  Perfect for locations serving up to 150 coffees a day.

It comes with a max power of 2900w, so you are able to plug this machine into a standard 3-Pin socket, without needing to change your electrical points or hard wire it.

Key features

• HX boiler design - a clever single boiler design that separates your water into two stable temperatures for 1) brewing coffee and 2) hot water / steam.

• Automatic control - allowing for pre-programmed espresso shots. Repeatability is key and the Appia's auto volumetric programmed buttons offer this extremely well. Program as a group flush, single or double shot to any of the 4 buttons to suit your needs.

• Timed hot water optimiser - allowing you full control over the temperature of your hot water tap for tea and Americano's.

• Lever style steam wands - providing fast / easy access to steaming and improving workflow.
