Questions about the Nuova Simonelli Appia Life 2 Group Timer Espresso Machine6

What is the difference between the Semi-Automatic, Volumetric, Autosteam and Timer versions?
  • Semi-Automatic: you start and stop each shot manually.
  • Volumetric: programmable doses for each group, controlled by a volumetric flow meter.
  • Autosteam: everything in the Volumetric, plus an automatic steam wand that uses a temperature probe, alongside the manual wand.
  • Timer: volumetric dosing with a simplified display that shows shot time.

The 2 Group XT with the full display is a separate model and is not part of this listing.

What electrical supply does the Appia Life need?
  • 1 Group: 110 V, 1500 W, 13 A, NEMA 5-15 plug.
  • 2 Group: 220 V, 3400 W, 17 A, NEMA 6-20 plug.
  • 3 Group: 220 V, 5000 W, 23 A, NEMA L6-30 plug.

These figures come from the US distributor. Have a licensed electrician confirm the circuit and receptacle before installation.

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.
