Nuova Simonelli is the Official Partner of the Lavazza Barista Challenge 2026 International Finals.
Last week at Lavazza’s iconic La Centrale Nuvola in Turin, 20 baristas from around the world competed in a journey of creativity, skill and coffee passion. At the heart of every shot, the Appia Lavazza machine was designed to bring the Tales of Italy range to life.
The Appia Lavazza allowed me to fully express my idea of coffee. Its simplicity helped me stay focused during the competition, while its consistency and performance gave me full confidence in every extraction. It’s a machine that truly supports the barista on stage.
