My fourth Export and this one will stay.
What a machine.
Superfast ready to make a shot.Probably less than 10 minutes.Amazing quality of espresso.Very good steamer.Small footprint!
No double shots though.

Nice!! Isnt this machine rather temperature stable also? Am I wrong or isnt it a thermosyphon?
Btw, how big shots do you get when doing a Fellini?

That's some beautiful crema. I saw your post on the Lambro thread. I think I should be considering this machine. Results look great. Is it easy to learn?

It' s a little dipper.Never measured shots but my estimate is 30 gr. of espresso with one fellini.Dose 15-16 gr.

I' ve never seen the Vectis in person.
But the Vectis is a bigger machine with a newly developed group and has a bigger boiler.Also it produces a bigger shot volume.
This little machine is ideal for the quick shot of good espresso anafter one or two shots turn it off.
The Vectis takes a lot longer to warm up but looks like it can be let to idle for a long time.

By [anonymized] : " I tried out how fast it can produce back to back shots without overheating and that works very well" .

I believe it is a 45 mm grouphead.Shaped more like the Pompei basket.

Thanks! Maybe OT in this thread but isnt the Lusso a thermosyphon or am I misinformed?
