I was at a non-sponsor shop this morning where the owners are always up for a chat. I mentioned I’m in the market for a new machine and was encouraged to consider the new Nuova Simonelli Musica which they’re about to take shipment of.
I prefer traditional styling in my machines so don’t think I’d ever consider it but I was surprised by the competitive pricing. Apparently the RRP for the standard version will be $2200 (without the LCD screen).
Copper boiler is 2L, 3L tank and a decent 1L drain.
According to the NS website it has ‘Programmable Boiler Temp’ which I assume means it is PID controlled?
One thing that did concern me was that according to the importer/distributor the ‘Lux’ version with the LCD screen has a lot of issues and the shop owner said they wouldn’t be selling them at this stage for that reason.
Would be interested to hear opinions from sponsors or CS members who’ve had a chance to play with this model. Javaphile saw it in the metal at the SCAA recently and I’ve taken the liberty of re-posting his photo.
