The Nuova Simonelli Appia Life builds on the proven legacy of the original Appia, now reimagined with a lower profile, enhanced features, and easier serviceability—making it a powerful, energy-efficient solution for busy commercial environments.
Designed for reliability and consistent performance, the Appia Life is ideal for coffee shops, restaurants, hotels, offices, and venues with baristas of all skill levels. Compared to the previous Appia II, it offers 13% energy savings and 20% lower environmental impact, thanks to its new DRYTEX THERMICAL insulation and updated internal components—validated through an independent Life Cycle Assessment.
Precision Volumetric Dosing
The volumetric version allows baristas to program four precise espresso shot volumes per group (single, double, short, long). This ensures consistency across users and shifts, enabling high-volume efficiency and freeing up time for milk steaming or customer interaction. Volumetric models are also compatible with the EasyCream automatic milk steaming system.
EasyCream Automatic Micro-Foaming System
The optional EasyCream system automates the milk texturing process for perfect microfoam every time—regardless of barista experience. Replacing the manual steam valve with a single button, the system features a modified wand that injects air at the correct angle and temperature using an integrated probe.
It automatically:
-
Starts and stops air injection for ideal foam texture
-
Stops steaming when milk reaches the programmed temperature
Baristas simply place the wand into a pitcher of cold milk, press a button, and EasyCream handles the rest—delivering consistently textured milk for lattes and cappuccinos with zero guesswork.
Built for Professional Environments
With the ability to produce up to 250 cappuccinos daily, the Appia Life 2 Group is designed for performance and efficiency. The updated design features:
-
Improved brew groups and shot control buttons
-
Lower profile for better customer interaction
-
Ergonomic layout to streamline workflow and reduce fatigue
-
Simplified maintenance for less downtime
Whether you're outfitting a high-traffic café or a restaurant looking to serve quality espresso drinks without extensive training, the Appia Life 2 Group offers a reliable, cost-effective, and easy-to-use solution.
