The Nuova Simonelli Appia Life 3 Group builds on the trusted legacy of the original Appia, delivering dependable performance with modern upgrades in design, functionality, and sustainability. Engineered for high-volume environments, it’s ideal for cafés, restaurants, hotels, offices, and businesses with multiple users or less experienced staff.
With a 13% reduction in energy consumption and 20% lower environmental impact compared to the Appia II (based on independent Life Cycle Assessment), the Appia Life offers long-term efficiency through its innovative DRYTEX THERMICAL insulation and enhanced internal components.
Volumetric Precision for High-Volume Environments
The volumetric model allows baristas to program four espresso shot volumes per group (single, double, short, and long), ensuring consistent results at the push of a button. This streamlines workflow, improves drink consistency across shifts, and frees up the barista to focus on steaming milk or customer service. The Appia Life 3 Group is also compatible with the EasyCream automatic milk steaming system.
EasyCream: Automatic Microfoam, Effortlessly
The optional EasyCream System replaces the manual steam handle with a push-button interface and a specially designed steam wand. Integrated with a temperature probe, it:
-
Automatically controls when to inject air for perfect microfoam
-
Stops steaming once the programmed milk temperature is reached
Baristas simply place the wand into a pitcher of cold milk and press the button—EasyCream does the rest, delivering consistent, high-quality milk texture regardless of the operator’s skill level.

Whether you need speed, consistency, or ease of use across multiple staff members, the Appia Life 3 Group Volumetric delivers professional performance in a refined, environmentally conscious package.
