Does the Appia Life need a water line and drain?

Yes. The Appia Life is a plumbed machine, so both a water connection and a drain are required. A water softener is mandatory if your water does not meet the required specifications, otherwise the warranty is void, and a water filter is recommended.

How big is the Appia Life?

1 Group: 16 in wide x 22 in deep x 21 in high, with a 5 L boiler.
2 Group: 31 in wide x 22 in deep x 21 in high, with an 11 L boiler.
3 Group: 40 in wide x 22 in deep x 21 in high, with a 15 L boiler.

Each machine uses a single insulated stainless-steel heat-exchanger boiler.

What warranty comes with Nuova Simonelli espresso machines?

Nuova Simonelli espresso machines carry a 2-year manufacturer warranty, according to the US distributor. If a part is defective, the claim is made with the Defective Part Warranty Claim Form, which is available in the documents section of this page.

Does my Nuova Simonelli machine need a water softener or filter?

A water softener is mandatory whenever the incoming water does not meet the water specifications Nuova Simonelli requires. Running a machine on water outside those specs voids the warranty. A water filter is also recommended to protect the machine and keep your coffee tasting consistent.
