I have personally serviced my La Pavoni Stradivari for the very first time (seals etc) and all has gone well except for one detail.
Previously (these last 10 years), I have been able to lift the lever to the uppermost position, wait until a few drops fell then proceeded to pull...

I have looked at most of the threads about cases for the Cafelat Robot -- but couldn't find any with room for a Bellman steamer. I have ordered a Robot and Kinu grinder and plan to take these with a Bellman steamer, tiny scale, cup and coffee on some trips. Has anyone done a...

Would it be possible for the Lever Forum to have a Gallery sticky of all the lever machines? If we own/owned the machines there would be no copyright issues. I think it would be helpful to all us LeverLovers to be able to see machines referred to in the forums quickly, without...

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...

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...

Looks like Kees van der Westen has come out with a brand new lever group!
Just received this in an e-mail.

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...

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...

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...

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,...
