The quick read

Who is it
really for?

TWO REASONS TO SHORTLIST

Powerful steam in a compact body

  • + Strong back-to-back milk-drink workflow
  • + Hands-on control over espresso and milk texture

Nuova Simonelli Oscar II is a manual espresso machine without an integrated grinder, suited to powerful steam in a compact body. Compare its Australian price band, milk system, heat system and skill level. Its heat exchanger system and manual steam workflow are the two details most likely to shape daily ownership.

TWO REASONS TO THINK TWICE

Account for the complete setup

  • − A capable espresso grinder is an extra purchase
  • − Milk texturing takes practice

This machine leaves grinding to separate equipment, adding cost and bench space. Australian stock, colours and inclusions can vary by retailer.
