Admirable that there is still such individuals out there, but from a financial standpoint might not be the best decision one could possibly make, unexpected expenditures etc. can quickly turn into a financial disaster if you do not have enough funds in the coffers to keep the "company" afloat.

I am also waiting for the Londinium Vectis to be out... but already have an Londinium R... would be nice to be able to buy something made here in the USA...

Can't wait for both to be out to decide...

It's crazy that between the Flair 58, the OE-1 and the Vectis, 2021 is the year of levers.

Yes if the Vectis actually make it for this year, he said they wanted to showcase it in January, we are days away from may... So they are at the very least 4months behind schedule.

The OE-1 is still in preproduction state, so it can take some time as well before it hits the market.

In addition, it didn't seem that there was much of a path for boiler heat to reach the group head given it is constructed of stainless steel.

Agreed, I am also curious about the temperature behavior and stability of the machine. Has anything been said yet regarding the temperature behavior of the machine and how stable or will be?

Has anyone heard any updates on this project? Initially they said demo units would be assembled around end of May, so I hope we hear something soon!

Don't forget the ACS Vesuvius EVO Leva.

I believe that the SS parts for the trial batch of machines were being produced a week or two ago.

Initially was rumored to be announced as a KS project in April...

I would be surprised if it even launch this year, if you look at the Ozik grinders these where to be launched in December last year we are now almost in June. Things like this tend to take allot longer then expected.
