The Oscar II by Nuova Simonelli has been praised for its multi-functionality and reliability. This sleek Italian home espresso machine features a sizeable 2 liter boiler, 3 liter reservoir, programmable timed brewing and is even NSF rated. It is a professional cafe experience made for your kitchen.
Oscar II is a high performance machine due to professional components like the filter holder, the temperature compensated group and the high productivity steam wand. Added to this are technical and ergonomic features to simplify its use, as with the push and pull steam lever and the soft-touch backlit control panel.
With the programmable timed dosing you are able to program single and double doses to have your brews ready at the press of a button. This allows you to keep your extraction consistent with the ease of a button. Manual extractions are also available.
The Soft Infusion System, developed by the techs at Simonelli, is an innovative pre-infusion system that is adjustable, consistent and has no risk of user error. It is unique because it extracts centrifugally by injecting water at different angles into the coffee cake which eliminates channeling and maximizes espresso extraction by creating more contact time between the water and coffee.
Fitted with a commercial grade grouphead the brew temperature stability is aided by the E61 style group head which is heated by a thermosyphon system and also by the copper boiler and water lines. Copper is known for heat retentive qualities, which is why Simonelli included them in their machines.
Among the new features of Oscar II is to the extensive use of stainless steel that immediately shows strength and solidity, as well as enhancing the machine. Minimal design ensures the machine fits in different types of environment.

Proper water quality is essential for optimal espresso extraction and long-term machine health. Use the guidelines below to ensure your machine performs at its best.
| Parameter | Ideal Range | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Total Hardness | 50-170 ppm | Prevents scale buildup while maintaining flavor |
| pH Level | 6.5-7.5 | Ensures balanced extraction and protects internal components |
| Chlorine | 0 ppm | Eliminates off-flavors and prevents corrosion |
| TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) | 70-150 ppm | Optimal mineral content for extraction and taste |
| Total Alkalinity | ~7.0 | Stabilizes acidity and extraction |
| Chloride | 0-28 ppm | Prevents corrosion (especially in steel boilers) |
Always refer to your machine's manual for specific water quality recommendations and maintenance schedules.
Install a water filtration system to maintain consistent water quality and extend the life of your espresso machine.
How to choose a commercial espresso machine based on real volume numbers, peak hour output, and drink mix — not vague categories.
Your espresso machine gets all the attention. The grinder does all the work. Every variable that determines shot quality — particle size, extraction evenness, dose consistency — starts at the grinder.
Design your café bar for peak volume, not average traffic. Equipment layout, station design, staffing ratios, and tools that remove steps — what actually matters during the rush.
Water pressure, electrical specs, drain slope, filter flushing — what actually goes into a commercial espresso machine setup, and what gets skipped.
Discounts may void any installation that is deemed to come "paid" with the purchase.
Commercial machines that require installation will need to ship to a commercial address. Residential addresses may incur a fee. Freight companies may not be able to deliver to residential areas. Appointment deliveries can be set up for new builds to ensure delivery.
Proper placement of electricity, drain holes, and water filtration systems is the responsibility of the customer.

Every order is handled personally — not processed and forgotten. From the moment you buy, you're working with a team that knows this equipment inside and out.
After purchase, if installation is included, we will send a quick site checklist so your machine arrives ready to run from day one.
Free shipping on orders over $249, carefully packed and dispatched via UPS or FedEx. Larger commercial equipment ships via freight — coordinated and handled on our end.
Once delivered (and installed), your equipment is ready to perform — pulling consistent shots, handling volume, and putting quality coffee in front of every customer.
