Vesuvius, Profitec, Londinium, other?

Completely agree with that. As I said from day 1 the steam wand supplied is completely useless for anything other than a small jug. IMO A great pity to spoil a great Machine

Vesuvius, Profitec, Londinium, other?

On the original pre production machines the steam arm was on the right & hot water on the left. When it went into production they decided it is better with the steam wand on left. Left or right its still the wrong shape for large jugs. I reckon your jug will be OK but you will have to

Vesuvius, Profitec, Londinium, other?

I had Vesuvius B0001 off the production line & it works excellently for me. Excellent stability & repeatability. Only problem from the beginning is the poor steam wand. Impossible to fit a large jug under without risk of overspill with the slant required. Changed the supplied wand for a Duetto wand ...

Versalab M3 stuck

I agree 100% with these sentiments I've had mine 4 years+ & must have put through well over 200 kilos of beans leaving the machine as it was built. Ron

Versalab M3 and Grindz?
