ACS Vesuvius Evo Leva

LMSC

This is what I found on their instagram page

Eiffel

Just to be clear, this would be a machine which has to be plumbed in (no cold water tank), has very large boilers compared to the Evo Leva and is also quite deep… so it seems it’s quite a different animal compared to the Evo Leva, although it shares some of its key components with it.

LMSC

Eiffel Correct. IMO, it will not only be an overkill at home but will also be extremely expensive. It is most probably aimed at smaller coffee shops and restaurants.

Also the Vostok doesn’t seem to have a manometer.

Although, last picture from them of the EVO Leva shows one unit without it… isn’t it weird?

Msmk0 I’m pretty sure it does have a Manometer, or will, the ones I used/saw all had manometers. As @Eiffel said, it’s a different animal. The Evo was really intended to be very at home, in the home. I have the Nurri lever and it’s big…I’m still waiting for the drip tray to arrive, but here it is without the drip tray…remembering it’s pre-production and wasn’t cleaned before I got it…I have cleaned the bits I drink from, but still need to clean the reas…when the drip tray arrives…note this is a very early prototype. My counter is 600 deep at the narrowest portion!

LMSC

DavecUK Stunning to say the least! Any thoughts, especially the shots ?

This doesn’t have a PID at the group, does it?

DavecUK

LMSC yes it does, you can just see it, it’s a small display. Shows temps and you can adjust everything, just like the small Gicar display on a Minima. Shots are good of course as it’s the standard LSM group. The 2 pressure guages on the front panel show steam pressure and group pressure (same as an EVO).

No sooner than I post the above, the drip tray arrives, and I’ve cleaned it up a bit.

Hardly looks like a pre-production, considering the look and finish. Hope she stays with you for a very long time, if not ever. 😊

The stainless steel look very thick.

It’s not really that thick, about 1.5mm , the side plates are purely decorative, they don’t rest on the counter at all.

It will only be with me long enough to produce and engineering report….then it will go back…

Hello,

i fund this basket, is a new version?

https://shop.mokaconsorten.com/IMS-Competition-B66-Serie-Doppel-Sieb-Dalla-Corte-Izzo-La-San-Marco-ridged-B662TH28M-16-18-gr-H-280-mm

28×55 basket looks more ideal for around 17gr use

LMSC

darkstefano Thx for the link. I didn’t come across this. Most of us have B662TH26M and B662TH32M.

I saw this one a few month ago as well but it was not in stock. I did not manage to find additional shops that listed it so I assumed that it ls not produced anymore?!

Has anyone considered adding a needle valve in the flow path leading to the group head?

While this may slow down the amount of time it takes to fill the group with water upon pulling down the lever, adding a needle valve may introduce an interesting variable into taste profiling with the evo leva.

Someone has actually done this….can’t remember who now.

Hi All,

Update on the leaking group . Emailed Paolo with the video (ignoring all the other bits and bobs). He sent an exploded diagram and said change the larger piston seal. I took off piston and swapped it and the teflon gasket which looked a little scarred. Added a touch of Grease and reassembled. One cup and no leak, but obviously will have to wait and see.

What is a little strange is that the lower of the group has a dent and some wierd blue stuff that doesn’t come off (with water and cloth - don’t want to tarnish the chrome so reluctant to try cleaner without checking/thought).

LMSC

danielpugh Glad you sorted it. I’m sure you have fixed it. Could you point out the dent and the blue stuff please ? Thx

Are you talking about the mark inside the bore (or is in a droplet or artifact), green arrow, or on the group outside red arrows?

danielpugh

Hi, DavecUK the red arrows

DavecUK

danielpugh The green stuff might be because of the water that was coming up, you could just gently try cleaning with puly and a Microfibre, if that doesn’t work a touch of white vinegar on a MF cloth then rinse off. The dent won’t make any difference, theres no sealing going on at the top.
