Nuova Simonelli Musica

Musica is Nuova Simonelli's single-group machine derived from its professional range, built for a compact counter. The official hydraulic diagram lists both a heat exchanger and a boiler as separate components ("Scambiatore di calore/Heat exchanger" and "Boiler"), so brew water passes through a heat exchange rather than a dedicated group boiler. The only spec sheet found is for the North American market (110-125 V, 1200 W): the manufacturer does not state voltage or power draw for this model on a European source.
As standard the machine draws from a removable 2.3-liter reservoir, filled manually by the user; the manufacturer also describes a "Direct Connect version" with a dedicated 3/8-inch water line connection for installations that skip manual refilling. A pressure gauge sits on the front panel, and steam is delivered through a manual wand controlled by a dedicated knob.
The machine weighs 20.4 kg and measures roughly 33x40.6x43.2 cm per the spec sheet. The document does not specify the group type, boiler material, brew pressure, pump pressure, or whether programmable prewetting is fitted.

Pros and cons
In favour
- Compact footprint (roughly 33x40.6x43.2 cm) suited to a small counter source
- Also available in a Direct Connect version with a fixed mains water connection
- Front-mounted manometer for direct pressure reading
Worth knowing
- Only a 2.3-liter removable reservoir in the standard configuration: needs frequent refilling in a busy setting
- Manual steam wand, not an automatic system
- The spec sheet does not state the group type or the operating pressure source
