The new Aurelia Wave from Nuova Simonelli is packed with
innovative features to maximise the potential of coffee and highlight
different flavours.

ost surfers strive to
a ride a breaking
barrel, the hollow
part of a wave that
curves around them.
Inspired by the waves of the ocean, the
new Aurelia Wave espresso machine
from Italian manufacturer Nuova
Simonelli mirrors the same hollow look
in its side and back panels.
“The machine went from a traditional
square block to a completely rounded
machine. It’s a completely new design
for us. It makes for a nicer effect on a
counter,” says Lauro Fioretti, Project
Manager of Simonelli Group.
Apart from its design, the Aurelia
Wave features five new functions
including Smart Water Technology,
eco-sustainability, digital interface,
ergonomics, and Pulse Jet technology.
One of the biggest focuses when
constructing the Aurelia Wave was
controlling its energy consumption.Lauro says it was key to study the
machine’s lifecycle and evaluate how to
reduce its carbon emissions.
“For the first time we’ve been
investing in studying the life of a coffee
machine, starting from the material
that we used to build the machine, to
the assembly line, and examining the
machine’s use in coffee shops across the
globe,” Lauro says.
“We began calculating the total
footprint of the machine until its end.
The results showed that more than 90
per cent of carbon dioxide is produced
during the espresso machine’s life in the
coffee shop. To combat this, we’ve tried
to reduce as much energy as possible.”
The Aurelia Wave conserves energy
during slow hours of the day along
with its temperature control system.
The energy savings are made with a
combination of elements: new materials,
new project techniques including fine
element method and computationalfluid dynamics, which are used in
computer simulations and algorisms
in the automation, train and ship
sectors, new insolation systems, and
more accurate electronic controls. The
temperature control system is based on
the super accurate T3 technology the
Simonelli Group developed and has
used in the World Barista Championship
since 2013.
“We work every day on several
projects to reduce energy emissions
further,” Lauro says.
As part of its new updated
technology, the Aurelia Wave features
the Espresso Management System,
a new remote-control interface that
enables baristas to view hourly, daily,
weekly, and monthly statistics and
compare them to find the best practices.
“The Espresso Management System
will aid baristas to have full control
over its performance, report critical
issues, and monitor and improve qualityRiding the wave
