Appia Life
Appia Life builds on the success of the previous Appia, further pushing the limits of the already proven espresso machine. It is a machine of high productivity and high performance.
Energy Efficient
Appia Life boasts of a new thermal system, new materials, and better optimization of the mechanical components. These translate to a 20% reduction in environmental impact and 13% savings on energy consumption.   
High Productivity and Consistency
The Appia Life Volumetric is the ideal machine for baristas looking for amazingly consistent coffee. Being automatic, the machine allows baristas to program desired volumes and consistently pull shots at that volume throughout the day. The barista no longer has to monitor each and every shot, giving him time to interact with customers or perhaps begin another order.
SIS (Soft Infusion System) optimizes extraction for creamiest espresso
TFT Multi-function Display (XT Series) allows Barista to control many features: espresso shot volumes & pre-infusion, on/off time, maintenance features (e.g. Automated Independent Backflushing), self-diagnostics, alarms, etc.
Volumetric Dosing (XT & Volumetric models) means Barista programs 4 espresso shot volumes (single/double/short/long/etc) per group (identically or independently) for one-touch operation & consistency between users
Manual Dosing (Semi-Automatic versions) means a single button starts & stops espresso shots for use with shot-timers or scales
EasyCream System (optional on all XT & Volumetric models) with adjustable 2-stage air induction & programmable temperature control, for the ultimate one-touch automatic micro-foam and optimum consistency
Push-Pull Steam System avoids stress on Barista’s hand – press upwards for purging or lock it down for continuous steaming
Cool Touch steam wands are safer and easier to clean
Large boiler & fast heat recovery means high sustained steam pressure & simultaneous tea/Americano water (2-Group Full-Size & 3-Group versions)
Compact boiler with fast heat recovery means sustained steam pressure & simultaneous tea/Americano water despite compact machine size & smaller footprint (2-Group Compact version; more limited on 1-Group version)
Raised groups fit most larger cups, with portable risers included for smaller cups
Reverse Mirror back-plate allows Barista to see inside groups or bottomless portafilters without bending over
Portafilters are solid chrome-plated brass with ergonomic molded handles & rubber grips for minimizing stress on Barista’s wrist
Automated Backflushing for fast & easy group cleaning (Volumetric models)
Pressure Gauges display pump & steam pressure, making it easy to check pressure profiles and monitor machine performance
Stainless Steel + formed ABS body panels on a solid steel frame
