Why Buy This Machine From Us?

Most eCommerce sites will simply sell & ship the equipment directly to you. (In many cases it’s delivered to your front door, which means you need to have people who are able to lift (up-to 400 lb) and take the equipment to where it is supposed to be in the building.)

1. You are responsible for getting the equipment installed by a qualified tech, which means you will have to find a tech in your area. The eCommerce site may recommend a tech in your area if they have one on file but will not be responsible for the type of work they perform. If the tech makes any mistake causing damage to the equipment during installation it’s between you and the tech to resolve the matter. The eCommerce site will not return the equipment because of the tech’s fault.
2. If equipment has any defect which renders it useless, your stuck with the equipment until you go through a long and lengthy process of returning it. You lose time, money and are put through a lot of frustration because deadlines can no longer be met.
3. You are on your own when it comes to getting the recommended preventive maintenance performed by coffee tech. Again you have to find a qualified tech who is able to work on your machine.
4. You are on your own if the machine breaks-down and needs repairs. Again you will have to find a qualified tech to repair your equipment.

How we do business. 

1. We get this machine shipped to our shop from the manufacturer and bench test everything for you in advance. If there are any issues with the equipment we take care of it for you. You are not stuck with defected equipment. When you buy equipment through us we make sure you get equipment in working order so you don’t have to go through the hassle of returns while you wait for months.
2. Once the bench test is completed, we schedule a time that is suitable for you to deliver the equipment. We don’t deliver to the front door instead we bring in the machine to where you want it placed in your building.
3. Our tech will then begin the process of installing the equipment for you.
4. After installing, our techs don’t walk out, instead if you choose they can train you or your staff on proper usage, cleaning and answer any other questions you may have regarding your new equipment.
5. We have in-house techs which means you can opt to get regular preventive maintenance performed. Simply let the tech know and they will enter you in our system. The techs will let you know exactly what plan you need to be on depending on your individual requirements and usage. Preventive maintenance is performed:
   1. After very 3 months
   2. After every 4 months
   3. After every 6 months
   4. Once a year
6. No matter what brand of equipment you buy it will eventually break down. This is where our repair services can be a huge advantage. Instead of disposing your equipment worth $1000’s our techs can help you by repairing the equipment and getting the most out of them.

Note: We can provide the bench testing service free of cost if you choose to use our installation services which may have additional fees attached to them. Please call us at 443-824-4211 to find out how much installation will cost for your location. Preventive maintenance program fees depend on your location, type of equipment you purchase and your usage.

20% Less Energy

A Life Cycle Assessment study found the Appia Life consumes 20% less energy than the Appia II. This reduction is possible due to the new thermal system, optimization of mechanical components, and the addition of DRYTEX insulation.

Volumetric:

The Appia Life Volumetric is the ideal machine for baristas looking for amazingly consistent coffee. Being volumetric this machine allows baristas to program desired volumes and consistently pull shots at that volume throughout the day. Because the barista no longer has to monitor each and every shot, they are given precious time to interact with customers or perhaps begin another order. Making this machine ideal for a number of shops and setups.

Autosteam:

This modification replaces the manual steam handles with a button. The barista can simply place the curved wand in the pitcher of milk and the Gooseneck Autosteam will heat up to, and shut off at, the correct temperature. We recommend that the barista moves the pitcher to texture the milk. This wand includes the Cool Touch technology which prevents skin burns and milk from burning onto the wand.

Also Available:

Semi: The Appia Life semiautomatic is our basic model of the Appia Life series. While it may lack in some technical features, this machine is more than capable of delivering high quality espresso, especially at the hands of a well-trained barista. Being a semiautomatic the machine is in complete control of the barista during the extraction processes requiring them to both start and end it.

Volumetric XT: For the first time, the Appia Life now has the option to come with a digital display screen. This screen allows for easier dose programming, the ability to view shot timers and steam pressure, an easier to access cleaning cycle, shot counters, and software settings.
