Overview
The Nuova Simonelli Aurelia Wave is the official machine of the World Barista Championship, a distinction that speaks to its exceptional extraction capability and reliability under pressure. The Wave technology integrates a gravimetric system that measures shot weight in real time, enabling dose-by-weight programming that ensures repeatable output regardless of grind variation. T3 temperature technology provides independent control of group head, brew water, and steam boiler temperatures. The soft-infusion system applies gentle pre-infusion before ramping to full pressure. The Aurelia Wave represents the pinnacle of modern commercial espresso engineering, designed for championship-level performance in high-volume environments.
The Nuova Simonelli Aurelia Wave comes equipped with PID temperature control for precise brewing, pre-infusion for even extraction, pressure profiling for advanced shot manipulation. It features a dual boiler boiler system made of copper with a 2800 ml capacity. The rotary pump delivers 9.0 bars of pressure for optimal extraction.
Priced at $13,000, the Nuova Simonelli Aurelia Wave is designed for passionate enthusiasts and semi-commercial users who accept nothing but the best. As a semi-automatic machine, it gives you control over the brewing process while handling pressure and temperature automatically.
In terms of build quality, the Nuova Simonelli Aurelia Wave is a substantial machine, weighing in at 58.0 kg, manufactured in Italy, drawing 5400W of power. With dimensions of 530 x 560 x 430 mm (W×D×H), make sure you have adequate counter space. This machine requires direct plumbing, which provides unlimited water supply but needs professional installation.
