Latte Art Diagnosis
Up until the point you reach the middle of the cup, you are doing a great job. Here's a screen shot from one of your videos, and it truly looks great. The pattern is forming in nice wide open leaves. {image} But then moments later the flow becomes too thick and the pattern gets squashed.

ACS Vesuvius Evo Leva owner experience
Now that I actually *have* the beast, I have some comments and questions. There is a lightbulb icon next to the on/off button instead of a C/F. I suspect I have some Vostok software in my machine? Th group and brew temperatures were both set to low 90 degree celsius, very far from the manual's recommended 92/101 for brew/group

ACS lever safety system
The safety system only works if the group is full of water.

Has my brew pressure gauge lost its mind?
Right, but steam has a certain temperature at a certain pressure... if you compress steam more it increases the boiling point of the water in the boiler... to get a higher pressure, you need more heat to boil more water. The vapor pressure of steam is tied to the temperature... so at 1.5 bar, you get about 262 degrees. It
