Key Features and What They Mean

LCD Display

A high-resolution LCD screen gives users instant access to machine functions with clear guidance. Users can program dosages, pre-infusion, boiler pressure, and energy settings with no fuss.

Soft Infusion System

There’s no easier way to make rich espresso with perfect crema than with the soft infusion system. It even counteracts poor tamping practices, giving you great results every time.

Volumetric Dosing Buttons

To pull a shot, just press one of the volumetric buttons and the machine will dispense the correct volume. Fully programmable, the volumetric buttons ensure uniformity in the quality of your product and can even increase the production pace.

Manual Dosing Controls

To customize an espresso, use the manual dosing buttons. They’ll allow you to accommodate customer requests on the fly.

Raised Group Heads

If you offer a variety of cup sizes, the raised group heads on the Aurelia Wave Volumetric are a big help. Instead of having to spend time brewing into shot glasses and moving the espresso into tall cups, baristas brew directly into taller cups and keep the coffee line moving.

Reverse Mirror

The backplate doubles as a mirror and shows baristas hard-to-see angles of the espresso. They can monitor each espresso while they work.

Cool Touch Wands

Staying cool to the touch, these steam wands won’t burn arms and hands like traditional types. Because they don’t encourage milk residues to build up, cleaning them isn’t as time-consuming.

Push Pull Steam

Turning steam valves can strain the wrists after some time on the espresso machine. The push-pull levers are simply tapped into the on and off positions to steam milk.

Surface LEDs

Poor lighting isn’t ideal for this craft. The LED lights on the Aurelia Wave Volumetric illuminate all the details of your baristas’ work to deliver better quality to your customers.

Bar Pump Gauge

Seeing the pressure built by the pump during extraction provides vital information to baristas about their process, helping them work toward excellence in every espresso.

Automated Cleanings

Cleaning the machine at the end of the day is no longer a long, drawn-out process with automated cleanings. Pick the group head you need cleaned and the machine takes care of it.

Power Saving Options

The Aurelia Wave Volumetric has a small environmental footprint in comparison to other espresso machine models, something in high demand in today’s market.

Water Level Indicator

The water level indicator provides a convenient way to check the boiler water levels anytime so that you know that everything is working as it should.

Machine Options

Smart Wands

The Nuova Simonelli Aurelia Wave Volumetric is compatible with a variety of Smart Wands to help you create velvety microfoam more easily.

Auto-Steam Wand

If you opt for the Auto-Steam Wand, you’ll have automated milk steaming at the touch of a button.

Just position the wand in the milk and the Auto-Steam Wand will do the rest, giving the user the opportunity to multitask.

EasyCream Wand

The EasyCream Wand lets baristas set the temperature and density of the rich microfoam it creates.

This wand is designed to inject an optimal balance of steam and air into the milk before emitting a fine vapor and circulating the milk with specially designed steam holes to generate gorgeous results.

The EasyCream Wand shuts off when the correct milk temperature has been reached.

Gooseneck Wand

Similar to the Auto-Steam and EasyCream Wands, this Smart Wand also froths milk for the barista on its own.

The Gooseneck Wand reads the temperature of the milk as the barista guides the pitcher to texture the milk. It will stop automatically as soon as it reads the right temperature.

Common Questions and Answers

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

A: Essentially, soft infusion is what Nuova Simonelli calls pre-infusion in its espresso machines.

If you’re unfamiliar with pre-infusion, it’s a method of getting more nuanced flavor from the coffee by gently immersing the coffee bed in water during an initial extraction stage.

When you make espresso in the Aurelia Wave Volumetric, the machine releases pressure-free water into the coffee bed for a period of time before the water is pushed through at full pressure. 

Aside from reducing the effect of tamping issues by settling the coffee, soft infusion prevents channeling and allows all of the delicate flavors to be drawn out of the coffee in a balanced way.

With soft infusion, you’ll always get a well-developed espresso flavor.

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

A: The biggest difference between the volumetric and manual buttons on the Aurelia Wave Volumetric is automation.

The volumetric buttons are designed to let the user press them once to get a shot of espresso. The machine is programmed to dispense the correct measurements.

If the user chooses the manual button, the machine won’t stop the extraction cycle on its own. The user pushes the button again at the appropriate time. 

While volumetric dosing presents the advantage of a more streamlined approach to extraction, manual dosing allows the user to create an espresso shot that fits exact specifications on the spot, without programming.

If you want to streamline espresso production and promote more consistency, volumetric dosing is a great way to accomplish this. But if your customers ask for a specific type of espresso shot like a ristretto or long shot, the manual dosing buttons are helpful.

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

A: Monitoring a shot isn’t just about seeing it pour from the group head. You can combine this with checking the bar pump gauge to get more information about what’s happening in the machine.

Generally, a good espresso shot extracting correctly will reach nine bars of pressure. If your machine isn’t getting to this point, it’s typically a good indication that you need to change your brew ratio.

This is as simple as adding more or less coffee to your dose. Try this the next time you pull a shot and see if the pressure reading changes. 

Some other issues could be your grind setting or tamping pressure. A grind fineness that's too coarse or fine or applying too much or too little pressure when you tamp can affect how successful extraction is. 

In short, the bar pump gauge can guide you toward better practices by showing you the results of your methods.
