Engineered for high-volume environments, it’s ideal for cafés, restaurants, hotels, offices, and businesses with multiple users or less experienced staff.
With a 13% reduction in energy consumption and 20% lower environmental impact compared to the Appia II (based on independent Life Cycle Assessment), the Appia Life offers long-term efficiency through its innovative DRYTEX THERMICAL insulation and enhanced internal components.
Volumetric Precision for High-Volume Environments

The optional EasyCream System replaces the manual steam handle with a push-button interface and a specially designed steam wand. Integrated with a temperature probe, it:
Baristas simply place the wand into a pitcher of cold milk and press the button—EasyCream does the rest, delivering consistent, high-quality milk texture regardless of the operator’s skill level.
