Crew Review: Nuova Simonelli Aurelia 2 T3 Commercial Espresso Machine

While sophisticated temperature control and experimenting with how different brew temps affect the flavor of coffee was born in the world of Third Wave coffee, more and more cafes are getting in on the fun lately. Nuova Simonelli designed their Aurelia 2 T3 commercial espresso machine to meet this need. Combining their well-known commitment to excellent build quality, ergonomic design and intuitive functionality, they've designed the T3 version of their popular Aurelia 2 series of machines with independent brew boilers and separate temperature control. By using a combination of heat exchange and multiple boiler technology, each brew head on the T3 (from two to four) will produce a very consistent shot. You can program each of them for different temperatures, allowing you to brew coffees in different ways without having to adjust your machine in the process. As this is targeted toward higher end specialty coffee businesses, it is currently only available in a semi-automatic configuration -- Nuova Simonelli is assuming that you and your baristas will want to be actively involved in your shot extraction! To learn more about the Aurelia 2 T3, we visited Nuova Simonelli's US headquarters in Ferndale, WA, and took one out for a test drive. In this comprehensive review video, Brandon guides us through the T3's tech specs, functionality and design, then demonstrates how to make a latte. These machines are designed for very high volume businesses, so if you're in the market for something that affords you sophisticated customization yet can also keep up with your busiest rush, the Aurelia 2 T3 is well worth your consideration.
