This is important because some espresso blends prefer higher temperatures than others. The front-mounted pressure guage reads out the steam pressure and allows you to accurately adjust the brewing temperature by raising or lowering the pressure. In addition, the boiler is wrapped with a half inch of insulation to reduce energy consumption and save you money. The Musica's boiler temperature is regulated by the same resilient sirai pressurestat that Nuova installs in their 2, 3, and 4-Group commercial espresso machines. Nuova Simonelli built the Musica with this technology because it provides temperature stability and gives you unlimited, powerful steam.Ĭommercial Sirai Pressurestat and Vacuum Breaker Valve: The brewing water passes through the enclosed pipe and is flash heated to the optimum temperature.
When the boiler reaches operating temperature with its robust 1200 Watt heating element, it is about half full of super heated water and half full of pressurized dry steam. This design is found inside the vast majority of commercial espresso machines and consists of the horizontally-seated main boiler housing with an enclosed water pipe running through it.

There are no buttons to push to make the Oscar heat up for steaming it is always ready. The Nuova Simonelli Musica provides unlimited steam power and excellent thermal brewing stability thanks to the its insulated and energy saving 2 liter heat exchanger boiler. Like a commercial espresso machine, the Nuova Simonelli Musica requires a precise grind setting to brew that sought after "God shot" of perfect crema topped espresso.īrew Espresso And Steam/Froth Milk Simultaneously: It is recommended that you own or purchase a grinder, such as the Grinta or comparable espresso grinder to complement your new Oscar.

During this preinfusion, the solenoid valve has power to it the whole time, so that it does not exhaust during the preinfusion. As described by Nuova Simonelli technicians: At the end of every shot or auto-fill cycle the pump continues to run for a couple of seconds, so as to keep the hydraulic circuit "charged." When you pull a shot, the pump and valve are energized, then the pump cuts out for about 3 seconds, then resumes for the remainder of the shot. This creates a richer extraction and minimizes bitterness. Pre-infusion means that the coffee grounds are allowed to soak for a moment before the full brewing cycle begins.
