The Nuova Simonelli Oscar II offers home espresso lovers and professional baristas an affordable yet high-performance option.
This easy-to-use machine delivers smooth espresso and creamy microfoam. Its antimicrobial copper boiler efficiently conducts heat, while the heat exchanger ensures strong steaming power.
The Oscar II stands out from other semiautomatic espresso machines with its customizable single and double dosage buttons, which can be set by time to improve efficiency and consistency in espresso shots.
Soft infusion is Nuova Simonelli’s pre-infusion system, designed to moisten the coffee bed before full water pressure is applied. This helps reduce channeling and ensures even saturation, resulting in a more consistent extraction and improved flavor.
The Nuova Simonelli Oscar II offers a fast, preset pre-infusion stage that cannot be adjusted, making it easy to use for new baristas and those who prefer not to adjust machine settings.
We're happy you asked! Let's quickly explain the difference between semiautomatic and automatic machines.
In general, a semiautomatic machine requires the user to start and stop the brew cycle, controlling the dosing manually. An automatic machine, on the other hand, ends the brew cycle once the programmed espresso volume is reached.
The Oscar II falls between these two, featuring timed dosing. It automatically ends the brew cycle like an automatic machine, but uses time instead of volume as the reference.
Though it changes the brewing process (timed dosing may result in a shot that's half the desired volume unless adjusted), it helps improve consistency and efficiency, especially in busy settings.
As a beginner barista, you’re likely getting to know the visual indicators of a quality espresso shot.
The built-in mirror lets you observe these cues as the shot pours, helping you identify what's working or not in your process.
You can monitor the pour speed, watch for blonding, and spot signs of a good or bad shot—just like you would if you leaned in closer.
With clearer visibility, you'll gain more knowledge of what makes great espresso and feel more confident in your results.
