Nuova Simonelli Oscar II espresso machine

This espresso machine is the successor of the regular Nuova Simonelli Oscar coffee machine. It does have similar features. There are more domestic espresso machines made by Nuova Simonelli, such as the Nuova Simonelli Mood.

Types of parts on the Nuova Simonelli Oscar II

The Nuova Simonelli Oscar II coffee machine does have a variety of components installed on the machine which are similar to the Commercial grade espresso machines of Nuova Simonelli. But they are not all the same.

Brewing group

The brewing group you can find on the Nuova Simonelli Oscar is a solenoid operated brewing group. It is slightly more simple then the commercial brewing groups used on their commercial espresso machines. But they do use similar spare parts, so a lot of stuff is interchangeable.

Portafilter

The portafilters used on the Oscar II are standard Nuova Simonelli commercial portafilters, which can also be used on various Victoria Arduino espresso machines. These portafilters have a ear orientation of 45 degree and a ear thickness of 7mm. There are also versions of OEM portafilters which have been fitted with a nanotech coating.

Boiler

The boiler used on the Nuova Simonelli Oscar II espresso machine is a regular boiler, so not a heat exchanger one. It is powered with a 1200W heating element, this can be 110V or 230V. To control the temperature inside the boiler you use a pressure switch, less accurate then a electronic temperature control. But less expensive and it works fine for a domestic espresso machine. Nowadays boiler insulation is more common, this is also the case with this espresso machine.

Cleaning your Nuova Simonelli Oscar II coffee machine

Keeping your espresso machine clean is maybe one of the most important things you need to do as a owner of a coffee machine. There are 2 types of cleaning which are really important on these machines

Backflushing with a blind filter

This might be the most important thing to keep the level of coffee quality on the highest level. For this you need a blindfilter and a cleaning solution such as Puly Caff. Ad a certain amount of cleaning solution to the blindfilter, which is installed in the portafilter. And start the brewing process and stop this in various intervals. This moves the cleaning solution inside the brewing group, true the solenoid valve. With this you clean the internals of the brewing group. When you are done, do this procedure without the cleaning solution.

Steam tube cleaning

The steam tube cleaning is only important when you use it, otherwise you won’t get any milk on it. But in the case you do use it, there are some steps you need to perform. Take a milk pitcher fill it with water and with Brooks Milk cleaner. Let the steam tip and tube soak in the solution, you can purge the steam valve a couple of times. Now you should be able to remove the dried up milk with a microfibre cloth. Rinse afterwards with clean drinking water.
