Red Coffee Machines for Baristas

The Nuova Simonelli Oscar is a semi-automatic espresso machine that gives the barista complete control over the brewing process. It is recommended to own or purchase a grinder, such as the Grinta or a comparable espresso grinder, to complement the Oscar. Like a commercial espresso machine, the Oscar requires a precise grind setting to brew the sought-after "God shot" of perfect crema-topped espresso.

The Nuova Simonelli Oscar features a 3-way solenoid valve, which not only prevents excessive pressure but also releases built-up pressure at the end of brewing to dry the espresso puck and prevent dripping. To ensure long life and protection against overheating and burnout, the Oscar's boiler is equipped with a safety feature called Auto-Refill. This system monitors the water level in the boiler and automatically adds more water when the level falls below a certain point. If the machine runs out of water and the Auto-Fill system is unable to refill the boiler, the computer will automatically turn the machine off to prevent overheating and damage to the heating element.

While the Oscar may not have the stainless steel look, it has several advantages. It will never corrode, is easy to clean and scratch-resistant, and hides fingerprints and dirt that quickly show on stainless steel. The drip tray comes with a punch-out disk for hooking up a direct drip tray drainage line, and it can be flipped over to accommodate both small and large cups.

The Nuova Simonelli Oscar is a semi-automatic espresso machine with a heat exchanger, and it is made in Italy. It has a water tank capacity of 2.3 L, a power rating of 1200 W, and a weight of 14 Kg. The machine's dimensions are 300 x 400h x 400mm.

To use the Oscar, the barista must start and stop the brewing cycle once the grinder has been dialed in and the espresso grounds have been dosed and tamped. The actual brewing process should take 20 to 30 seconds, depending on the barista's taste preferences, whether they desire 1 shot or 2.

In conclusion, the Nuova Simonelli Oscar is a semi-automatic espresso machine that provides the barista with complete control over the brewing process. Its unique features, such as the 3-way solenoid valve and the Auto-Refill system, ensure long-lasting performance and protection against overheating and burnout. The Oscar's easy-to-clean, scratch-resistant, and fingerprint-hiding design make it a practical choice for both home and commercial use.
