Description
Nuova Simonelli Aurelia Wave, built on the platform of the official World Barista Championship espresso machine, is ideal for those wanting unprecedented performance, reliability and technology. It has amazing standard features like brew-buttons that can be thumb-operated as the barista locks in the portafilter, soft infusion for better extractions, steam & brew area work lights, powerful steam with simple push-pull controls & cool-touch wands, steam tips ideal for micro-foaming, automatic back-flushing, adjustable hot water temperature, and much more. Aurelia Wave comes in a Matte Black, Pearl White or Glossy Red finish, with matching grinders available.
2 Versions Available in the Base Model:
Volumetric: This version allow a barista to program 4 espresso shot volumes per group, thereby pulling shots at that exact volume every time. Shots are more consistent between users and – because the barista doesn’t have to monitor the espresso – there is more time to interact with customers or begin another order. It’s high resolution 4 ¼ inch LCD display gives the barista unparalleled control over the machine. Use it to easily program espresso shots and 3 hot water dosages, boiler pressure (PID), pre-infusion, several maintenance features, on/off times, various counters, and many more smart functions. The HD display can also time all independent shots simultaneously, eliminating the need for external timers.
Suitable for: medium to high volume locations, high quality coffee shops, restaurants, hotels, demanding professionals, barista competitors, locations with less experienced baristas.
Semi-Automatic: Even without volumetric dosing or the HD display, this lower-priced version is more than capable of delivering high quality espresso. As a semi-automatic the barista is in complete control of the machine during the extraction process, both starting and ending the shot according their trained eye, or by using a separate timer or scale.
Suitable for: medium to high volume locations, high quality coffee shops, specialty coffee shops, demanding professionals, barista competitors, smaller equipment budgets

STEAM WAND OPTIONS
The Aurelia Wave Volumetric (not Semi-Automatic) can be purchased with 1 right side automatic steam wand with 2-buttons (additional charge applies).
The EasyCream Automatic Micro-Foaming System replaces the manual steam knob with a button. Once pressed, the modified wand steams the milk while monitoring the temperature with an integrated probe, so it knows:
- when to start & stop injecting air for perfect microfoam, and
- when to stop steaming for standardized milk temperature.
EasyCream requires no input from the barista to perfectly texture the milk; the barista simply places the wand in the pitcher of cold milk and when it reaches the desired (programmed) temperature the steam automatically turns off, leading to a consistent drink, regardless of the skill-level of the barista.
