Nuova Simonelli has launched Appia Viva, the newest version of its long-running Appia espresso machine range.


The model has been developed to simplify day-to-day operations for baristas and improve consistency in coffee preparation.


Appia Viva includes updates aimed at both workflow and sustainability. The machine features the company’s Soft Infusion System (SIS), which helps stabilise extraction, and an E-Milk system for automatically frothing dairy and plant-based milks. Up to four recipes can be pre-set and adjusted to suit different drinks.


A new feature, C-Automation (Coffee Automation), allows communication between the espresso machine and grinder to monitor output and guide grind adjustments. According to Nuova Simonelli, this helps standardise results and reduce waste.


The machine is available in several formats, including two- and three-group versions, a compact model and a single-group option. The XT model adds a touchscreen display for programming drinks and cleaning cycles, while all versions have a redesigned control panel.


Energy use has been lowered by about 7% compared with the previous Appia Life model, through the addition of an insulated boiler and an optimised hydraulic circuit.

The company says Appia Viva is intended for coffee shops, restaurants and chains looking for a machine that balances ease of use, quality, and efficiency.


Appia Viva will be shown at HostMilano, where it will appear alongside the new Viva Grinder. The grinder, which can connect directly to the machine through C-Automation, has a stainless-steel body, micrometric grind adjustment and 65mm or 75mm burrs.
