Been a long time in the pipeline but the ACS Vesuvius Evo Leva has finally become a reality. Took delivery of two today. The other is for my son.

Very impressed with the production quality. Design is clean and appealing. Dual boiler, PID control on both brew and service...

This evening Paul Pratt announced on Kickstarter that 50 Robots have shipped and that 15 more are being shipped every day. It's time to open a User Experience thread so we can learn from each other. This is also the thread for initial comments on the Cafelat Robot Review that we...

Hey guys

Been lurking around for a while - first time posting. The forum here has been super helpful.

Anyways, I got a New Olympia Cremina in December of 2021, and I love it. But I noticed an issue and wondered if anyone else has this issue?

With the lever all the way down,...

Hi everyone,

I've been researching this for quite sometime and can't find an answer. Hope someone could help. I just got a Profitec Pro 500 (NON-PID) from the original owner who's maintained it pretty well. I let it warm up for a couple of hours yesterday and noticed the water...

I thought I would share some photos of my new purchase, it's not really a lever but this seemed like the most appropriate place for her. A 1929 La Pavoni Ideale 2 group. This is the Mignon version, the smallest size - it is still very impressive in stature and weighs in around...

First off, I'm sorry if I use the wrong words for things. I'm pretty amateur when it comes to espresso. I recently replaced the gaskets in my pre-mil LaPavoni Europiccola. It had been quite a few years and it really needed it. After replacing the gaskets and reassembling it nut...

Hey guys. I switched to lever (Londinium LR24) a few months ago. Can I ask how long on average are your shots, In seconds? I guess what I am asking is do shots on lever tend to need more time slower flow? My shots are along the line of 6-12 seconds preinfusion until first drop...

Back in August I was able to acquire a Gaggia Orione and a Reneka Tempo 123presso for pretty good deals with the intention of restoring the Gaggia. Over the Christmas break I was able to acquire couple Conti groups and parts, so I thought why not put a Frankenstein lever and I...

I saw this posted to Facebook this morning. It looks like the Londinium R got a full electronics update with a much quieter rotary pump.
Maybe it sounds like a small thing but it makes the Londinium a lot more accommodating in the home, and it's nice to see Reiss continually...

This thread is for a Faema Urania I just purchased and is in process to being shipped. I am making this thread now to document the process as it is the first time I am arranging for my own transportation rather than the seller providing it.

I also thought it would be useful to...
