Brew Espresso And Steam/Froth Milk Simultaneously
The Nuova Simonelli Oscar is one of only a few semi-automatic espresso machines in the entire world (at this price) that allow you to steam and froth your milk at the same time you are brewing espresso. We also offer the one other machine that does this for a comparable price, Pasquini Livietta T2. Enjoy unlimited steam power and excellent thermal brewing stability thanks to the Oscar's powerful heat exchanger boiler. There are no buttons to push to make the Oscar heat up for steaming; it is always ready. Just turn the knob on the left to open the valve and powerful, dry steam will come pouring out the commercial 4-Hole tip at the end of the stainless steel steam wand. Steam 8 oz of milk in about 30 seconds or use the Oscar 20 or more ounces in no time at all.
High Capacity Heat Exchanger (HX) Boiler
The power plant behind the Nuova Simonelli Oscar Professional is its insulated 2 L copper heat exchanger boiler. This design is found inside the vast majority of commercial espresso machines and consists of the horizontally-seated main boiler housing with an enclosed water pipe running through it. When the boiler reaches operating temperature with its robust 1200 Watt heating element, it is about half full of super heated water and half full of pressurized dry steam. The brewing water passes through the enclosed pipe and is flash heated to the optimum temperature. Nuova Simonelli built the Oscar with this technology because it provides the best temperature stability and gives you unlimited, powerful steam. The boiler temperature is regulated by the same resilient sirai pressurestat that Nuova installs in their 2, 3, and 4-Group commercial espresso machines. In addition, the boiler is wrapped with a half inch of insulation to reduce energy consumption and save you money.
Large Removable Water Tank
This Oscar model does not connect to plumbing the way a commercial unit does, but it does have a removable 2.3 L water tank to feed all your brewing and steaming needs. This tank can also be refilled without removing it. Simply flip open the top door and pour in fresh cold water. Nuova Simonelli offers the fully plumbed-in Oscar here.
Semi-Automatic Espresso Brewing
The Nuova Simonelli Oscar is a semi-automatic espresso machine which means that the barista has complete control over the brewing process. You must both start and stop the brewing cycle once you have dialed in your grinder and dosed and tamped the espresso grounds. Whether you desire 1 shot or 2, the actual brewing process should take 20 to 30 seconds depending on your taste preferences. It is recommended that you own or purchase a grinder, such as the Grinta or comparable espresso grinder to complement your new Oscar. Like a commercial espresso machine, the Nuova Simonelli Oscar requires a precise grind setting to brew that sought after "God shot" of perfect crema topped espresso.
Commercial Grade Brew Group
Nuova Simonelli hits a home run with the commercial brew group they installed in the Oscar Professional. The Oscar has all the necessary components here to create the perfect brewing environment for espresso. The brew group is made from a casting of marine grade brass which offers the industry's best heat conducting and corrosion resistant material. The engineers at Nuova built this brew group to allow the heat exchanger line from the boiler to passively recirculate so that it is always ready to brew. They also included the coveted 3-Way solenoid valve which not only prevents excessive pressure but also releases built-up pressure at the end of brewing to dry the espresso puck and keep it from dripping.
Two Commercial Portafilter Handles
Nuova Simonelli packages the Oscar with not one, but 2 commercial grade and size portafilters for brewing your espresso. Included are 1 single spout and 1 double spout portafilter along with the 58 mm stainless steel single and double shot filter baskets. Each portafilter weighs over 20 ounces and is cast from heavy duty marine grade brass and then chrome plated for long-lasting durability and an easy-to-clean finish. When you lock the portafilter into the brew group, it is pressed against a heavy duty rubber gasket that creates the proper seal for pressurized brewing. In addition, the Nuova Simonelli Oscar comes with a blank portafilter basket for the highly important back-flushing process that cleans the brew group.
Boiler Protection Features
To ensure long life and protection against over heating and burnout, Nuova Simonelli built the Oscar's boiler with a safety feature called Auto-Refill. This system keeps an eye on the water level in the boiler and when the level falls below a certain point, the computer controlled water level system automatically adds more water. If the machine should run out of water and the Auto Fill system was unable to refill the boiler, the computer will automatically turn the machine off to prevent overheating and damage to the heating element. What’s more, the Pasquini Livia boiler features an over pressure relief valve and thermal reset switch, which serve as backups to the boiler pressure regulating system.
Durable Construction
The Oscar's steel frame is protected by a hardened ABS plastic exterior that will withstand even commercial use. It may not have the look of stainless steel, but it will never corrode; it is easy to clean and scratch resistant; and it hides fingerprints and dirt that quickly show on stainless steel. Its drip tray comes with a punch-out disk for hooking up a direct drip tray drainage line. Also the drip tray can be flipped over to accommodate both small and large cups. On the top of the unit, you can store up to 12 cups that will become warm from the radiant heat off the boiler.
Pod Capable
Nuova Simonelli recognizes that not everyone wants to navigate through the trial-and-error process brewing espresso. It takes time to find that perfect grind setting, and even tamping requires practice as well. The Oscar Professional can accept the optional (sold separately) Pod Adapter Kit that allows it to brew using E.S.E (Easy Serve Espresso) pre-packaged coffee. It comes with all the necessary hardware, including a 1- and 2-pod filter basket. At any time you wish to return to the traditional method of brewing espresso, all you need is a screwdriver.
