And if your shop sells coffee in multiple sizes, the Aurelia Wave Digit has it covered with raised group heads. This machine’s design aims to please.

Just like the Aurelia II, the Aurelia Wave is ideal for any location barista competitions are hosted. But now with the Aurelia Wave Digit, competitors gain an edge from Smart Water Technology showing the water quality that directly affects the espresso.

They’ll have access to both volumetric and manual dosing to choose the method that fits their needs best, Nuova Simonelli’s soft infusion system to enhance the espresso flavors, and a reverse mirror to monitor extraction.

Key Features and What They Mean

Touchscreen Display

The high-resolution touchscreen display simplifies machine operations for the user. Program dosages, pre-infusion settings, the boiler pressure, and energy settings in one, two, three.

Smart Water Technology

This exciting new tech warns the user if the water quality changes, providing never-before-seen control of the coffee. It will save you time and money on maintenance costs while ensuring unparalleled consistency in your coffee.

Soft Infusion System

Even if the barista tamps the coffee improperly, the soft infusion system will make sure that the espresso is flawlessly extracted. You’ll get better flavor and gorgeous crema every time.

Volumetric Dosing Buttons

Just press one of the volumetric buttons for an espresso once. The machine will automatically measure out the shot, ensuring that all baristas are delivering the same excellent product to all your customers.

Manual Dosing Controls

Using the manual dosing buttons lets the user decide exactly when the extraction process starts and ends. As a result, you can pull any kind of shot you like, long or short, on the fly for your customers.

Raised Group Heads

Need room under the group head for a taller cup? This is possible with the Digit’s raised group heads. Cut out the time it takes to move the espresso from shot glasses to to-go cups and increase the efficiency of the drink line.

Reverse Mirror

The built-in backplate mirror shows baristas all the angles of the espresso as it pours from the group head, allowing them to check that every shot meets the highest standards without needing to slow down production.

Cool Touch Wands

Reduced steam wand temperatures minimize burn hazards that were once a given on a traditional espresso machine. Because the wands are cooler, milk won’t instantly cake onto them, which is great news if you want cleaning to be faster.

Push Pull Steam

This upgrade to the usual twist-turn steam valves is much gentler on your staff. Tapping the steam trigger is all that’s needed to control the steam pressure.

Surface LEDs

LED lights help your baristas see what they’re doing in great detail. Even poor lighting won’t interfere with their work.

Bar Pump Gauge

Revealing the pressure building from the pump during extraction, this gauge assists baristas in creating optimal results.

Automated Cleanings

Skip the time-intensive manual machine cleanings at the end of the day. Select a group for the machine to clean on its own while you focus on other priorities.

Power Saving Options

Making the machine’s environmental impact minimal, power saving options like these are in demand in coffee shops.

Water Level Indicator

Check on the boiler water levels quickly and easily with the water level indicator to ensure that the machine is running smoothly.

Machine Options

Smart Wands

Adding a Smart Wand to your Nuova Simonelli Aurelia Wave Digit is a simple way to integrate automated consistency into your milk steaming.

Auto-Steam Wand

The Auto-Steam Wand replaces the manual steam handle with a button and textures milk on its own.

Nothing more is required from the barista than positioning the wand in the milk. The Auto-Steam Wand takes it from there to make beautiful microfoam without skipping a beat.

EasyCream Wand

The EasyCream Wand creates velvety milk while letting baristas set the temperature and density. 

Pressing the button initiates milk steaming. The EasyCream Wand will create the right balance of steam and air, then fine vapor. 

The wand is designed to circulate the milk in a blending vortex until the correct temperature is reached, at which point the EasyCream Wand will shut off. Easy, perfectly frothed milk.

Gooseneck Wand

Similar to the EasyCream and Auto-Steam Wands, the Gooseneck Wand performs milk frothing for the barista.

This wand reads the milk temperature while the barista moves the pitcher to aerate and texture the milk. The Gooseneck Wand will shut off when the milk is at the right temperature to eliminate burned milk issues.

Common Questions and Answers

Q: How does the Smart Water Technology work in the Aurelia Wave Digit?

A: Smart Water Technology is a revolutionary water management system. It keeps your water quality (and thus espresso quality) optimal at all times.

Considering that water is a primary part of espresso production, the Smart Water Technology makes a lot of sense.

It senses key water parameters and automatically displays any changes detected so that the barista is always informed.

This gives baristas certainty of the water quality, but it also reduces malfunctions and maintenance costs, including filter cartridge purchases. 

In short, it adds another level of quality control to the design of a high-performance espresso machine.

Q: What is the soft infusion system in the Aurelia Wave Digit?

A: Soft infusion is Nuova Simonelli’s pre-infusion system, or the way the Digit achieves balanced extraction.

When you brew espresso, the machine’s soft infusion system first releases pressure-free water into the coffee bed. This takes place before the pressurized water is run through the coffee. 

With this system in place, the coffee is automatically settled, minimizing the risk of channeling and helping the water reach all of the coffee evenly.

Extracted with pre-infusion, the espresso will have a richer flavor and well-defined subtleties unique to the coffee that might otherwise be lost.

Q: What is the difference between volumetric and manual dosing in the Aurelia Wave Digit?

A: When you use the volumetric dosing buttons to brew, the machine will provide the correct espresso volume on its own. All you need to do is start extraction by pushing the button. 

The great thing about volumetric dosing is that it’s easy to use, for inexperienced to expert baristas. It will guarantee that all of the espresso shots are poured at the right volume, even as shifts change and different baristas operate the machine.

Manual dosing, on the other hand, is fully controlled by the user. Baristas will push the manual button once to start extraction and again to end it.

This creates the opportunity to pour any type of shot the user wants, whether that’s a ristretto espresso or a long shot. There’s no programming necessary like with the volumetric buttons, so customer requests are more easily fulfilled.

Q: How do I use the bar pump gauge on the Aurelia Wave Digit to improve my espresso results?

A: Getting to know this gauge is helpful for guiding you toward the right brew ratio. 

If you’re not sure what the brew ratio is, it’s just the amount of coffee you use for an espresso shot to the volume that results.

Checking the gauge shows you whether the machine is brewing at the right pressure related to the pump (usually nine bars is what you’ll want to reach). 

If you see that the pressure isn’t building correctly, it’s a good idea to start adjusting your brew ratio. Try adding different amounts of coffee to the portafilter. 

Sometimes all you need to do is change your tamping pressure or grinder settings a little. As you can see, this gauge can tell you a lot about your espresso process.
