Today the review will be about a professional, commercial semi-automatic carob coffee maker Nuova Simonelli Appia II, which is a continuation of the first Appia, extremely popular around the world, and in the CIS countries in particular. Actually, it differs from the first Appia a little more than nothing, but that’s not the point.

The manufacturer declares the coffee maker as “average” in its model range. Structurally and technically, it is very similar to the flagship Aurelia, we can say that it copies it with a proportional reduction in all parameters relative to the price.

But in reality this is more of an entry-level piece of equipment. This conclusion follows not only from affordable price, but also from a banal study of characteristics:

  • One copper boiler with heat exchanger.
  • Relatively modest in power heating element.
  • Typical 58 mm temperature compensated groups without any additional improvements. Well, of course, with three-way solenoids.
  • Rotary pump.
  • Connection to water supply 3/8”.
  • Includes: drain hose, single/double spouts for cones, single/double baskets, blind filter, plastic tamper (immediately discarded).

The car is notable for its good price-quality ratio. It has a well-thought-out design, reliable components, decent output results, and the absence of any critical maintenance problems.

It is clear that this is a whole line and you can choose specific modifications in accordance with your needs and purposes of use, trafficability of the point and budget. Full list series models looks like this:

  1. Nuova Simonelli Appia II 1gr S– one “high” group (glass height up to 14 cm), one steam tap, manual dosing – one start/stop button for each head, 5 l boiler, power 2 kW, width x height x depth = 40 x 53 x 55 cm, weight 42 kg.
  2. Nuova Simonelli Appia II 1gr V- the same, but with electronic dosing. For each group, in addition to the start/stop button, there are 4 programmable buttons: one/two espresso, one/two lungo.
  3. Nuova Simonelli Appia II Compact 2gr S– two “low” groups (glass height up to 10 cm, high groups are an option), two steam taps, manual dosing, 7.5 l boiler, power 2.8 kW, width x height x depth = 55 x 53 x 55 cm, weight 45 kg.
  4. Nuova Simonelli Appia II Compact 2gr V- the same, but with electronic dosing. As an option there can be an automatic immersion cappuccino maker Autosteam.
  5. – two “low” groups (glass height up to 10 cm, high groups – optional), two steam taps, manual dosing, 11 l boiler, power 3.2 kW, width x height x depth = 78 x 53 x 55 cm, weight 60 kg.
  6. Nuova Simonelli Appia II 3gr S– three “low” groups (glass height up to 10 cm, high groups are an option), two steam taps, manual dosing, 15 l boiler, power 5.2 kW, width x height x depth = 101 x 53 x 55 cm, weight 80 kg.
  7. Nuova Simonelli Appia II 3gr V- the same, but with electronic dosing. Plus a built-in cleaning program.

A few words about options

1. The choice of low or high group (which is an option for all modifications except 1-post) depends on what drinks you plan to focus on. It is clear that takeaway glasses, latte macchiato, etc. are better suited for a tall group. But for espresso, a high group is not very good - splashing, loss of temperature, you have to use a stand. Statistically, low groups are more popular, although I cannot deny that this may be a simple consequence of their better availability.

2. For the only modification of the Nuova Simonelli Appia II Compact 2 gr V, an Autosteam automatic immersion cappuccino maker is available. Basically, it works. But it seems strange to me to make the work of a barista so easy. Why would he be needed there then 😉 Joke. I actually don't know how much this option costs, and I can't assess its validity. But in any case, the compact version of Appia is basically not the best choice(about versions in the output, at the end).

3. Also for all modifications, electric active heating of cups at the top can be an option. It's kind of useful. But in view of large boilers that work non-stop, and the usual passive platform on top heats up, be healthy, especially on the 2nd and 3rd group versions. So you can safely ignore it.

Comparison of models with and without autodosing. In the photo: Nuova Simonelli Appia II 1 gr Semi (top, without autodosing) and Nuova Simonelli Appia II 1 gr Vol (bottom, with dosage)

Copper boiler with heat exchanger

All versions of the Nuova Simonelli Appia 2 range use a copper boiler with heat exchanger. Its volume varies depending on the modification:

  • 1 group - 5 liters
  • 2 group compact version – 7.5 liters
  • 2 group - 11 liters
  • 3 group - 15 liters

The boiler is equipped with emergency and non-vacuum valves. There is a water level window on the front panel. Its size is modest, I would like it to be larger. There is fairly easy access to the pressure switch through the top panel; it can be found on the side of the boiler at an angle.

The pressure switch can be used to regulate the water supply temperature in some way. If you increase the water pressure in the boiler by turning the pressure switch clockwise, the temperature will be higher; if you lower it, the opposite will happen. I recommend setting this up as a one-time use and not messing around with it often, although I know many baristas love this stuff.

I can’t say exactly what volume the thermal glasses are, but since, based on the sum of factors, the thermal stability of the machine is average, then the thermal glasses deserve the same definition.

Power according to “European” standards

Let's take the two-group version as the most universal and, therefore, popular. It has a power of 3200 watts. This is actually not much for this class of car with a boiler volume of 11 liters. It was done this way, I believe, with the expectation that it could be used in houses with old wiring. Plus the ubiquitous European economy; their electricity is expensive.

But in general, when choosing a coffee maker, you need to keep in mind the power, because there are machines on the market with 8 kW, which already requires specifically specialized wiring. I have heard more than one review about the network burning out after recklessly connecting 5-6 kW devices to a regular outlet. Two-group Appia can be connected almost anywhere.

So, 3 kW is not much for such a machine. This is another component of not the most exemplary thermal stability.

Manometer often lies

The machine is equipped with a double pressure gauge: on the bottom – the pressure in the coffee circuit when the pump is turned on, on the top – the pressure in the boiler. This pressure gauge usually lies within 10% on the larger side, keep in mind.

Reliable rotary pump

For those who understand what we're talking about, it's worth scrolling to the next paragraph. Let me explain to newbies.

Water pumps in coffee equipment are divided into two large, practically non-overlapping classes. There are vibration pumps, when water is pumped by “oscillating” (moving) a piston in a magnetic harness up and down (or left and right, that’s not the point). Such pumps are used in all home coffee makers and coffee machines for at least 5, at least 200 thousand rubles (of course, those that make espresso). They have a specific disadvantage: the pressure developed by the oscillation method is discrete, it is not strictly uniform. But they are cheap and compact. Professional equipment uses rotary pumps. In them, the motor turns the impeller, which scoops and pushes water further along the hydraulic circuit, and at a constant speed. Therefore, the pressure is stable and uniform.

So, the Nuovo Simonelli Appia 2 coffee machines use a completely reliable Italian pump, Fluid-o-Tech CB054 50L/H.

It is also used in many other similar coffee makers, for example, Rocket, ECM, Bezzera. I can't say anything bad about her.

Comparison of the width of the compact version of the two-group Nuova Simonelli Appia II and the regular one.

Typical heated group 58 mm

The Nuova Simonelli Appia II coffee machine uses working groups (heads) heated by a thermosiphon. The groups are completely metal, copper. The thermal stability of the groups themselves is at a decent level. Baskets included for 19 and 11 grams. Weight of the portafilter is 570 grams.

Many people are confused by the protruding bolt that secures the shower screen. To the point that it spoils the tablet when the maximum dose is filled. This is a well-known nuance. It is usually customary to change to a flatter one of suitable length.

The groups use a three-way solenoid, proprietary SIS technology - Soft Infusion System. It is stated that by uniform irrigation it is capable of leveling out the shortcomings of compaction. This is some kind of marketing nonsense. The car’s “injection” is very ordinary, without any frills. He is hardly able to compensate for crooked hands. Don't pay attention to SIS.

Convenient steam taps (cappuccino makers) are sometimes useful to “modify”

Modification Nuova Simonelli Appia II Compact 2 gr V: compact in two groups and with auto-dosing.

What can I say as a result? Here is a single-boiler machine, essentially of an entry-level professional class. This class is, in principle, characterized by capriciousness. It needs to be frequently maintained, cleaned, and backwashed. Roughly speaking, this requires a slightly higher level of barista.

However, the machine allows you to make very decent coffee by streaming. And taking into account the price, it can be stated, despite a number of comments that I mentioned, that the Nuova Simonelli Appia II coffee machine is the “default” choice for a coffee shop or a similar level of establishment.

In this case, the choice of a specific modification should be based on cross-country ability, purposes, and characteristics of the workplace (size, wiring, weight bearing). All other things being equal, the most universal model is two-group, not compact Nuova Simonelli Appia II 2gr S or Nuova Simonelli Appia II 2gr V.

The choice in favor of electronic dosing must be made in accordance with the personnel who will operate the machine. V - with electronic dosing - a little easier for the barista, the final feed speed is a little higher (press a button - you can be distracted a little, it will stop itself), the presence of a cleaning program requires a little less body movements, but the price is higher. If we start only from the price/result ratio, then the S versions look more profitable.

Compact option– this is an even greater compromise with thermal stability, but the weight and dimensions are noticeably smaller with two groups. The convenience of working with the compact version is also inferior to the full-size one.

Single group version- for start-up business. It’s not just that productivity suffers, but also the fact that two groups can be divided into different coffees with minimal mixing, even with careless rinsing. Plus, if non-stop operation is critical, if one group is defective, the delivery will not stop, and there will be more freedom in repairs, and not the catastrophe of “the cast is removed, the client leaves.”
