Hello,

I finally got my Vesuvius recently. Absolutely love it. The first shot I pull was great. Now it is just a matter of tuning in. Questions:

Tamper: the goal is to get a tamper that fits in the basket perfectly:
The included tamper seems to have a reasonable, but not...

The 800 was updated in 2022. I was just reading this thread, about 800 temp stability:

Scace thermofilter temperature measurements Profitec Pro 800

Has the new version made any changes to address temp stability, or does that thread's data still apply accurately to the new...

These are now available for pre order from Talk Coffee here in Australia for AUD $5,990.00 - $6,790.00 depending on options such as powder coating.

Has anyone got one or ordered one or seen reviews?

I recently purchased a 2019 La Pavoni PPG-16 that was only used a few times. Originally, it was not heating. Miraculously, I found Stefano's YouTube channel video How to Reset the Thermostat on the S/S Heating Element . I have been diligently working to pull an acceptable shot...

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...

Hi,

I am a total novice here. I just received my in-law's ca. 1980-85 La Pavoni professional. It's not working. Here is the story so far:

1) When I first got it, I filled the reservoir halfway and turned the machine on. The light on the switch came on, but there was no heat....

Hi,

Our Strega is my everlasting hobby project and I made some mods recently.
Added:
- 2 PID's (boiler & group)
- A manometer on the group head
- A flushing switch (without activating the lever)
- A pressure release switch.

So far it's working ok, time will tell how useful...

My 81 Cremina that I rebuilt a few years ago is going strong. I plan to service the machine like I do every year around this time.
I had this idea of wrapping the boiler with some left over exhaust header wrap made with pulverized lava rock in the woven cloth to keep heat in. I...

:cry: Good day!
I was adjusting the pressurestat on my 2019 Professional and noticed a burnt terminal cover (see photo) on a post for the heating element. The machine seems to work fine. Is this a concern? When I purchased the machine I did have to rest the thermostat on the S/S...

I don't know about you guys, but I find having to babysit my machines a bit annoying. Cracking the steam wand to relieve false pressure in order to reset the pressurestat and allow the boiler to reach the set temp is surely part of the routine that I don't really care for. Also,...
