OscarFirst Look Coming Soon
We are currently transferring over all our previously published First Looks from the previous design and database of the CoffeeGeek website. This process started on February 25, and will be completed by March 30, 2024.
This time around, CoffeeGeek takes a first look at the Nuova Simonelli Oscar espresso machine, a serious contender for the prosumer, heat exchanger espresso market.
The Oscar is a two litre boiler machine with a lot of advanced features that sometimes get overlooked because of the most visible aspect of the machine – the outer skin is made of plastic.
I have to admit, I fell into the crowd that did overlook the machine when it first came out, even criticizing it publicly because of the plastic skin. Where other companies poured a lot of money into polished metals, Nuova Simonelli didn’t do so with the Oscar and as such, I didn’t make serious attempts to learn more about it when it was first introduced to the market.
That’s all changed with this first look, and our forthcoming Detailed Review of the Oscar.
(note – due to various circumstances, there will be no detailed review of the Nuova Simonelli Oscar.
The Oscar’s lowest official online price is $895US, though the MSRP is $1195.
Enjoy the First Look.
