The Aurelia II T3 Competizone is the current WBC (World Barista Championship) machine sponsor.

The Aurelia by Nuova Simonelli is recognized as one of the best-performing espresso machines to hit the market in recent years. Aurelia combines beauty, durability, functionality, ergonomics, and versatility all in one machine. Not to mention with its thermally compensated soft-infusion design, it delivers great-tasting espresso shot after shot and at a very affordable price.

Nuova Simonelli has always quested to be on the cusp of new technology and design and delivering the most advanced brewing technology at the most affordable prices. Thus, they made the newly created Aurelia II. It retains some of the original's features while adding on a few more, including a deluxe lighting system and a beautiful metal and mirror finish.

The optional EasyCream Automatic Micro-Foaming System replaces the manual steam handle with a button. Once pressed, the modified wand steams in a unique angular direction while monitoring the temperature with an integrated probe, so it knows:

• when to start & stop injecting air for perfect microfoam,
• and when to stop steaming for standardized milk temperature.

EasyCream requires no input from the barista to perfectly texture the milk; the barista simply places the wand in the pitcher of cold milk and when it reaches the desired (programmed) temperature the steam automatically turns off, leading to a consistent drink, regardless of the skill level of the barista.
