Anatomy of a shot
Twenty-seven seconds that sell your coffee.
Scroll to pull a shot. This is what happens inside a Nuova Simonelli between pressing the button and serving the cup.
Example recipe: 18 g in, 36 g out, about 27 seconds. Your barista sets the recipe.
-
1
Soft infusion
SIS wets the coffee gently at low pressure first, so the puck settles evenly. Even a slightly uneven tamp gives a full, even shot.
-
2
Full pressure
Then full brewing pressure, around 9 bar, draws out the body and a thick, lasting crema.
-
3
Steady temperature
Insulated boilers hold the water steady, from the first shot of the morning to the last of the rush.
-
4
The same shot, every time
Volumetric buttons stop every shot at the same volume. Timer, XT and Aurelia models show the shot time on screen.

Questions, answered
Appia Life or Nuova Aurelia: which should I choose?
Appia Life is the proven workhorse: simple, reliable and lighter on power, from $5,610. Nuova Aurelia adds a touchscreen and, with E-Milk, automatic milk for up to 9 recipes, so newer staff can pour consistent milk drinks. Answer three questions and we will suggest one.
How many groups do I need?
As a guide, the 1 group suits up to about 150 cups a day. Two groups let two baristas work at once, which suits most busy cafés. Three groups suit high-volume bars and chains. Tell us your busiest hour and we will size it with you.
What power and plumbing do I need?
Commercial espresso machines need mains water, a drain and the right power supply. The Appia Life 1 group draws 1,900 W, 2 group models 2,900 W to 4,700 W and 3 group models up to 5,400 W. Larger machines are usually wired in by an electrician. Send us your details and we will confirm before you order.
Do I need a water filter?
We recommend one for every machine. Filtered water keeps scale out of the boiler and the coffee tasting clean. You can add an Everpure filter kit when you build your machine.
Which grinder should I pair it with?
Any good on-demand espresso grinder works. The Mahlkönig E65S is a proven match for a busy bar and you can add it when you build your machine. Ask us if you would like a different grinder.
Which colours are available?
Appia Life comes in black or white. Nuova Aurelia Volumetric XT comes in black, white or red, and Nuova Aurelia E-Milk in black or white. Pick your colour when you build your machine.
Can I spread the cost?
Yes. Compare weekly rental, rent-try-buy and lease-to-own options on our finance page.
How does the price match work?
Send us the link to a lower advertised price for the same new model from another Australian retailer. We will check it and match it. Use the form below or call us.
Do you deliver Australia-wide?
Yes. We deliver Australia-wide, and you can also pick up from our showroom in Burleigh Heads on the Gold Coast. Ask us about installation in your area.
