Nuova Simonelli’s Appia Life range has been a staple in the coffee industry for over a decade. These machines have proven versatile and popular across various coffee markets worldwide. With the introduction of the Appia Life XT, the Italian-based company offers the most advanced espresso machine in the series to date.
The name XT stands for "extra technology," reflecting the machine's array of new and improved features. These enhancements help coffee shop chains with average productivity to maximize precision and control.
The Appia Life XT is designed to be energy efficient while optimizing functionality, productivity, and consistency.
New Features:
Auto-Volumetric:
Baristas can program desired volumes, allowing the machine to consistently pull shots at that volume throughout the day. This feature frees baristas from monitoring each shot, giving them valuable time to interact with customers or start another order.
Soft Infusion System (SIS):
This hydraulic system gradually increases water pressure on the coffee cake, stabilizing and smoothing it, significantly reducing the likelihood of channeling.
Easy Cream Technology:
This fully automated system is designed to consistently produce creamy milk. Air is pre-mixed with steam and injected into cold milk to create microbubbles, and the quantity is adjusted based on the beverage style.
DryTech Boiler Innovation:
By sharply reducing heat dispersion and maintaining stable temperature where needed, the XT uses less energy to repeatedly raise the temperature—achieving maximum performance with minimal energy consumption.
Digital Display System:
The Appia Life XT features a digital display that allows the operator to control and monitor the boiler pressure and shot timer. This display can also be connected to the internet for remote control and monitoring.
More Appia Life Features:
High Productivity & Consistency:
The Appia Life can prepare up to 250 cappuccinos daily (2-group version). Its consistency is ensured by the SIS system, which guarantees consistent results, and EasyCream, which allows for the quick and automatic creation of dense, velvety milk foam.
Energy Saving and Cost-Effective:
With DRYTEX THERMICAL technology insulation, the Appia Life reduces energy consumption by 13% compared to the Appia II. Thanks to its new thermal system, advanced materials, and optimized mechanical components, the Appia Life has a 20% lower environmental impact compared to its predecessor.
Enhanced Comfort for Baristas:
The Appia Life enhances productivity through its ergonomic design, improving service speed and supporting baristas in their daily tasks. It’s also designed for easier and more efficient maintenance.
