Nuova Simonelli traces its roots to 1936, when Orlando Simonelli built his first espresso machine in Cessapalombo, Italy, and named it "1936" after the year it was born. Over nearly a century the company has driven espresso technology forward — from the world's first continuous brewing machine in 1950 to electronic dosing in 1975 — and its Aurelia platform served as the official machine of the World Barista Championship from 2008 to 2014. Today Nuova Simonelli is one of Italy's most respected names in espresso equipment, with a footprint that spans Europe, the Middle East, Asia-Pacific and the Americas.
The Prontobar Touch is a superautomatic bean-to-cup machine built for venues that want espresso-bar quality without needing a trained barista on shift. Its 7-inch touchscreen puts up to 20 drinks at your fingertips, while nanotech grinding burrs and Nuova Simonelli's Easycream technology handle the extraction and milk work for you. It's built for offices, delis, small hotels and self-service counters that need speed and consistency more than they need a barista — and it delivers both, cup after cup.
A full-colour touchscreen lets staff or customers select from up to 20 preset beverages, so ordering stays simple even with a varied menu.
Precision-engineered burrs grind evenly cup after cup, protecting flavour consistency even during busy periods.
Two independent grinders let you run two different beans or blends side by side — decaf and regular, or espresso and filter-style beans.
Produces consistent microfoam for cappuccinos and lattes automatically, without a hand on the steam wand.
Automatically scales back energy use during idle periods, cutting electricity costs without you having to think about it.
Engineered to run quietly enough for open-plan offices, reception areas and guest-facing spaces.
A professional-diameter brew group — the kind usually found on larger commercial machines — extracts with the consistency a busy site needs.
The Prontobar Touch is built for you if you're running an office, hotel lobby, deli or self-service counter and want espresso-bar results without hiring or training a barista. It suits sites that need reliable, repeatable drinks at a touch, with minimal daily oversight. Café-quality coffee, without the café-sized learning curve — that's the whole point.
