ACS Vesuvius Evo Leva

DavecUK or this, which doesn’t look tapered in the photo, so you could ask them.

This link is missing Dave!

Thank you so much for your thoughtful gesture Dave. Let me compile a list after talking to her.

Good polish and clean after the man handling she’s had 😂

Is it ½”?

LMSC No it’s quarter inch and they don’t measure as ¼ inch, that’s just what they are called….It’s mad, but ¼ inch doesn’t refer to the diameter.

DavecUK There are a few things I will never understand!

What are your recommendations to get a list of spares?

Getting them thru’ Paolo’s niece is a lovely option. I am happy to do a short drive to collect from you or you could drop in one of the days, when we are mutually free, to pull a few shots from Evo using your roasted beans. A lovely chance to see you making some heavenly cups on Evo that too beans from your roaster. 😁

Cuprajake Good polish

Did you really chrome polish? Which one please? Thx

I just use a glaze from work no cut.

Meguiers mirror glaze

LMSC I’ll have to think about a small list and see if Paolo’s nephew is willing to bring them over.

Amberale it’s very similar, perhaps very slightly more accessible. The shape makes this so

Cuprajake No ceramic coat!? I want to see the beads! /s

Forgot a little mod I did a while ago,

Sound deadening the panels made a massive difference

So following on from this mod, I priced up powder coat black panels but landed there £250 ish

So took a risk, spoke to my tech rep and went a head

Sanded with 180grit then red scotchbrite

Cleaned and masked then put into the booth

Product of choice syrox/Dupont and upol raptor, used 10% gloss addictive and 10% thinners

Wash primer flashed for 15mins

Then the 2 coats of raptor with a 10min flash in between

Not going to bake these, flashed at 30 for ten then can cure over weekend, gloss levels will drop a tad as it cures

Then I can build it up Monday

Way shorter, much more watchable I guess

boshk how about heat retention? does it make a difference?

I would imagine it makes very little difference, because the Evo has ventilation slots across the bottom of the machine and ventilated cover on the top of the machine. This means that there is a continual airflow from bottom to top to take excess heat away.

I was trying to tone down the pump tbf

But it gives the panels a thud rather than a tink
