Some machines do more than making coffee. They become part of the identity of a place.
For nearly twenty years, Appia has been a familiar presence behind coffee bars around the world, supporting the daily rhythm of service and earning the trust of baristas and coffee professionals one cup at a time.
Today, that iconic coffee machine enters a new chapter.
Introducing Appia Viva: the evolution of one of the most recognizable and beloved espresso machines in the industry. A renewed interpretation that enhances its visual impact and contemporary appeal while preserving the character that made Appia a reference point for everyday coffee service.
Always the Icon
When we say “Always the Icon,” we are celebrating the unique role Appia has built over the years.
An icon is not defined by trends. It is defined by its ability to remain relevant, recognizable and appreciated through time.
With Appia Viva, Nuova Simonelli did not seek to reinvent Appia, but to evolve it. The new design refines and elevates its identity, bringing cleaner lines, a stronger visual presence and a more contemporary aesthetic to coffee bars around the world.
The result is a machine that feels modern and renewed while remaining unmistakably Appia.
A Design That Looks Forward
Appia Viva has been designed to meet the expectations of today’s coffee environments, where functionality and aesthetics are equally important.
The updated design gives the machine a more dynamic and refined appearance, allowing it to integrate naturally into a wide range of hospitality settings—from traditional cafés to contemporary coffee concepts.
Every detail contributes to a stronger visual identity, enhancing the machine’s presence behind the counter while maintaining the practicality and reliability that professionals know and value.
