Nuova Simonelli Oscar Pro Espresso Machine

The Nuova Simonelli Oscar Professional semi-commercial espresso machine offers unmatched performance in its price class. How did Nuova Simonelli do it? The Oscar Professional was designed with performance in mind. Commercial grade components include a giant 2 L chrome-plated copper boiler, 3-way pressure relief solenoid valve, commercial group head and portafilter, giant pressurestat (just like larger commercial machines) and a sturdy metal frame in a commercial heat exchanger design. With a selection of components usually found in much larger and costlier espresso machines, Nuova Simonelli keeps the price down by using an attractive ABS exterior instead of costly stainless steel. The Oscar is a sharp looker with a sleek design and choice of color. The Oscar uses a heat exchanger design, common in commercial espresso machines. The large boiler provides steam for frothing milk and indirectly heats the water that is used for brewing and maintaining the temperature of the brew group. The large 2 L boiler size provides ample steam for quick and powerful steaming and frothing of milk for lattes and cappuccinos. Brewing is a controlled process with excellent thermal stability of the commercial brew group through thermosiphoning. The heat exchanger design allows for simultaneous brewing and frothing for high output and hot beverages. The swivel steam wand allows easy access. The boiler is insulated for power savings. A cup warming surface preheats your cups, crucial for maintaining temperature of a freshly brewed espresso. The large 2.3 liter removable water tank automatically feeds the boiler for hassle free operation. Brewing pressure is provided by a powerful vibrating pump and a 3 way solenoid valve provides pressure relief when brewing espresso. Both a single and double filter holder are included, both full commercial size. The machine will accommodate ground coffee or ESE pods. The Nuova Simonelli Oscar accommodates various cup sizes with a reversible drip tray grill that changes platform height. The drip tray itself can hold up to 1 liter of water. As a commercial style machine, proper grind and tamp is required for optimal results. We strongly recommend using a quality coffee grinder with the Oscar. Machine also comes with a tamper and coffee scoop. Power 1200 Watts; Voltage 115 V Dim L x W x H 11-12/16″ x 15-11/16″ x 15-11/16″
