Aurelia’s technology for a better shot:
1)
Double
Preinfusion (Soft Infusion)
– All our units facilitate an
industry-leading preinfusion chamber above
the grouphead. The Aurelia not only uses our
patented, single preinfusion technology, but
also provides a second, inline “pressure
dropping” mechanism located before the heat
exchanger. These “double” features allow the
9 bar needed to produce an espresso to drop
to 2 bar, presoaking the grounds and then
evenly builds pressure back to the needed 9
bar. This process allows for more crèma,
more aromas to be extracted while also
lowering employee’s possible
tamping/grinding errors.
2)
Grouphead
– a. The new grouphead, specifically
designed for the Aurelia is now the largest
and heaviest in the industry - made of over
10 pounds of solid brass. Because of brass’
molecular density, the sheer size of our
grouphead and the usage of 2 separate
hydraulic thermal compensations lines, both
the first shot pulled after a 24hour
standstill and the final shot after a 2000
shot day, will be the same temperature. Each
grouphead can be individually lowered or
raised (F & G in lower schematic) even after
the unit has been installed. Many of our
customers ask for two groups to be raised –
fits 20oz drinks – and one group lowered.
Our Self Tamping feature is available on
each grouphead, depending on the end-user’s
specific needs. The grouphead has been
designed with gigleurs in line making the
grouphead’s temperature adjustable,
depending on the end-user’s needs and
specifications.
3)
Boiler
- a. On the two-group unit, the Aurelia has
a 4500w heating element in a
16 liter
solid copper boiler.
The three group unit consists of a
26
liter boiler
with 5000w’s of heating potential.
b. The heating element’s programming permits
the Aurelia to minutely adjust and regulate
the power/heat it outputs. This allows for
and adds too the Aurelia’s ability to
produce a dependable, consistent shot
temperature.
c. Nuova Simonelli manufactures all of our
boilers that go into our machines in Italy;
thus we are able to design and create the
best boiler for each situation – Simonelli’s
boilers are guaranteed for life.
The
“user friendliness” of the Aurelia:
1)
Auto-Clean Feature
– a. Just put cleaner into the bottomless
port-a-filters and the machine automatically
runs through its back flush cycle.
2)
Smart-Wand Steam System
– a. Every Aurelia comes with three steam
wands, one of which (depending on the
version) may be changed to the Smart- Wand
system.
b. Smart-Wand’s electronics has the ability
to recognize and produce either foamed milk
or steamed milk, depending on the amount of
milk put into the pitcher.
c. The Smart-Wand wand is non-scolding – if
you grab the wand while it is in operation,
you won’t get burnt.
3)
Ergonomically Designed
- a. The Aurelia is the first espresso
machine to been awarded the Ergonomic
Certification.
b. Push/Pull steam handles – steam output
from the wand can be at full or feathered
with just the flip of a lever.
c. The port-a-filters handles are regressed
to 10.25º
4)
Ease of
Programming
- a. Dosage programming can be either done
by setting the CC per button or by
physically pulling a shot
b. Machine On/Off scheduling
c. Ability to preset a date for
maintenance/water filter exchange.
d. Programming can be set to recognize if
coffee grounds in the port-a-filter are
ground too fine or too coarse – one more way
to control the final product.
5)
Digital Display
– a. A 150 line multi-variable programmable
LCD screen is available as an add-on – it’s
always pleasant to send your customer a
message of daily specials or the like.
