Ask Andrea a question about this product:

The Appia Life builds on the success of the Appia, further pushing the limits of the already proven espresso machine. It is a machine of high productivity and high performance. Combined this with its proven reliability and modern style make it the ideal machine for any room.

Key Features:

  • 20% Less Energy: A Life Cycle Assessment study found the Appia Life consumes 20% less energy than the Appia II. This reduction is possible due to the new thermal system, optimization of mechanical components, and the addition of DRYTEX insulation.
  • Semi Automatic: The Appia Life semiautomatic is our basic model of the Appia Life series. While it may lack in some technical features, this machine is more than capable of delivering high quality espresso, especially at the hands of a well-trained barista. Being a semiautomatic the machine is in complete control of the barista during the extraction processes requiring them to both start and end it.
  • Volumetric: The Appia Life Volumetric is the ideal machine for baristas looking for amazingly consistent coffee. Being volumetric this machine allows baristas to program desired volumes and consistently pull shots at that volume throughout the day. Because the barista no longer has to monitor each and every shot, they are given precious time to interact with customers or perhaps begin another order. Making this machine ideal for a number of shops and setups.
  • Volumetric XT: For the first time, the Appia Life now has the option to come with a digital display screen. This screen allows for easier dose programming, the ability to view shot timers and steam pressure, an easier to access cleaning cycle, shot counters, and software settings.
  • Autosteam: This modification replaces the manual steam handles with a button. The barista can simply place the curved wand in the pitcher of milk and the Gooseneck Autosteam will heat up to, and shut off at, the correct temperature. We recommend that the barista moves the pitcher to texture the milk. This wand includes the Cool Touch technology which prevents skin burns and milk from burning onto the wand.
  • Suitable for: Medium - High volume locations, demanding professionals.

Note: Pricing includes installation, lead times vary based on location.

Just recently found out about curated. Thought to give it a try. Answered a couple of questions and Andrea reached out. Loved that there was a quick video about her, it was nice to put a face to who was helping me. I gave her all my info and absolutely loved that she didn't try to oversell or anything of the sort. You said your price range and she worked with that. Super helpful. Never felt that I had to hurry to make a decision. So thank you so much for everything curated. Just made my purchase and I am sure I will love it!!!

Went to amazon to look for my FIRST espresso machine. Went to search the internet for more answers and curated.com came up. I answered a few very quick simple questions and was linked up with Andrea. She was very knowledgeable and quick to respond. Was able to maintain my budget and inform me about use characteristics and product longevity. She even used great analogies and humor to help me better understand the science behind an espresso machine.

Andrea was absolutely amazing and knowledgable. She answered all my questions with patience, and I had A LOT of questions. She even helped me find YouTube videos on tutorials on the machine I was thinking of going with. She was also very honest on the complaints of the machines or the issues they have, which I appreciated. I would 100% use Curated again if needed!

Matthew worked within my budget and got me a great deal. As it turns out, I wasn’t able to make the purchase that month, but contacted Matthew the following month He’s very approachable and there are no high-pressure tactics, just great customer service from an expert. Highly recommend!

Matthew was so helpful. I had no idea how complicated shopping for an espresso machine would be, and before I knew it, I was in over my head. When I found Curated, and was connected with Matthew- he distilled it all down for me. I told him what I wanted based on what I'd learned and the amount of time I could put into making a great espresso. I didn't know that you could purchase coffee grinders that are silent (super quiet) and that will be a game changer!

I purchased an espresso machine several months ago and starting having difficulties with it. I was ready to buy a brand new one because I couldn't get through troubleshooting on my own. I stumbled on Curated through about 15 open tabs, reddit subs and YouTube. I was immediately connected with Isaiah. He gave me a way to trouble shoot my own machine, without having to buy a brand new one, and had terrific recommendations about a grinder which I had been struggling with! Thankful to have found Isaiah and Curated!

David was insanely helpful with helping me navigate all the different options available. He recommends the best options for what you need and listens to what you like and don't like to create the best list of options. I highly recommend working with him for your coffee needs!

David reached out shortly after I completed the questionnaire, gathered some additional information about what I was looking for, and provided some options. I asked many, many questions, and he was very patient and answered all of them. I went back-and-forth on a couple of options, and he helped me make a decision based on the feedback I provided. There was also a sale on one of the purchases I was going to make that was not reflected on Curated, and David very quickly updated the price to match it. He is very knowledgeable, very helpful, and I will absolutely be reaching out to him for any questions in the future!
