ACS Vesuvius Evo Leva

Msmk0

94 - 103 for medium roasts (slightly high to compensate the Bplus disk).

Cuprajake I drink medium and a little darker and mine are 93/101 so you will not be far away with Patricks figures matey

Cheers, so my actual temp is quite low,

Ive noticed the stock shower screen is a better fit with the gu10 spring than ims

LMSC

Medium roast 92.5/93 - 98.5/99.0. Light 94-100.

Cuprajake What setting are people using for medium to light roasts?

My lowest was like 89, for all the machines I had. But now I went to 86/87 light (filter) roasts are becoming much much better. Far less sour and better fruity and floral tones.

One observation ive made, 17g ims basket im at 1:2 at 8bar pulling the cup. 8 bar seems to be a constant with me, and thats with a pre infusion sweating basket.

Before I get into trouble, how i can remove the filter in the tube on the water tank? And how to clean it?

Thanks a lot

LMSC

Opened the top of the group to see if I can push the filter gasket down. No. there is no access as the entire bore is attached to the lower part of the group. I can’t remove the filter gasket as it is a nice fit. I am leaving it as it is than trying to remove it to fit the silicone.

Took it as a chance to lightly grease! It was hardly dirty after 8 months.

LMSC Wait until your old gasket needs changing, make sure you have a spare OEM gasket, if one was supplied. Then dig it out carefully and fit the silicone one.

LMSC

DavecUK Thx Dave. Yeah. We do have a spare OEM!

DavecUK

LMSC that’s good because if the silicone one doesn’t fit, you have a backup.

LMSC

DavecUK I don’t see this wearing off any time sooner! This is good. 😊

Has anyone done any scace temp tests on the evo?

When i got the leva, i set it to 90/96 from recommended of @DenisS and it was very sweet

Ive since gone up to 92/98 but my last shot i went back down. What group temp would this equate to?

LMSC

Cuprajake If my memory serves right, I remember Denis doing a temp testing on the PF itself. I do not remember the how of it. I think, the delta between the brew and group was about 4C-5C.

Today, for my Rugali, I tried 93/99, 93/100 and 93/101. I have gone back to 92/98.

Cuprajake Has anyone done any scace temp tests on the evo?

I’ve only measured the temp of the group at the mid-point and it’s accurate to the display. Without an adaptor my SCACE II won’t fit. I’m pretty confident that the group stabilises the small amount of water inside almost instantly….The main thing is you can change the temperature by 0.5C and within 2 min pull the shot at the new higher/lower temp, until you find what works for you.

It doesn’t wear off, it hardens and forms a channel from the basket.

danielpugh second day with no leaks.

Hi Daniel,

Are you still leakless after replacing the seals/gasket/o-rings? My machine started to leak today…..

LMSC

NelisB A video will be helpful, unless it is the same issue. If yes, please replace the lower gasket of the piston.

How old is your machine ? Thx

NelisB

My machine arrived November 3rd last year. My issue is exactly the same as Daniel showed in his video. Just now, I replaced the gasket with the one in the spare parts box. The piston was not locked very tight, so it was no problem to replace the gasket. Cleaned everything and gently lubed the bore and gaskets with Molykote 111.

First extraction was good! Thanks for your help!!!

LMSC

NelisB Good to hear! Well done.

You may want to get a pair of these from these guys as spares.

I believe, Daniel got these fitted.

NelisB

NelisB Well, that didn’t last very long… leaking again. I bought 4 new seals from Ferrari, one has finer grooves in its surface. @danielpugh , do you recognize the difference and do you know which one you have installed?
