Jake, Dave will attest to this, but the standard baskets work pretty well. I have left mine absolutely standard. I bought a Goldfinger as i like a nice tamper and @Norvin was kind enough to manufacture a dosing ring. Temperature control will allow you to bring out the best in lighter beans, with luck!
Welcome aboard!

Cuprajake Im going to get a ims basket, any suggestions on part number? Maybe a b plus and a fresh tamper base.

Congratulations Jake - welcome to the club. Recommend IMS B662Th26M. I dose it anywhere between 17.5grm - 18.5grm and it works fine.

My son’s were too - greased them as Dave suggested.

I assume it’s the double spring compression that you are indicating when you pull the lever down. It’s normal for us! 😊

Now that you have the Evo, what’s your take on the pump noise? Am assuming you have already have a plan!

This is the official guide - in case of you need it!

The unofficial version is here!

Apologies if it’s mentioned previously in the tread, do we know what the current price of a Leva is with Paolo and approx timescales? Need to make a decision after my indecision lost out on the recent used machine

LMSC

Gav86 Please contact ACS @Paolo_Cortese directly.

LMSC thanks I’ve sent Paolo an email

Can anyone take a pic of his drip tray setup if he had setup a drain to an external container?

And if i want to plumb my tank to an external 5 gallon bottle i will need a pump do what is the best way to setup this? Like if i had an external pump how it will be connected to the machine to signal fill?

Cheers

You need is a self priming pump with pressure switch operation, connected straight to the inlet of the Vesuvius Evo, When the Evo opens the fill solenoid, the pressure will drop and the tank will fill, because the pump should automatically run.

Stevebee

Berryterry I use a FloJet pump connected via the supplied hose to a 25L container at Farmer’s Markets. You need to change a menu option to tell it it’s plumbed but once done works seamlessly. At home I change the option back and run from tank

Stevebee

Berryterry For the drip tray there is compression fit plug. Remove it and there is a supplied clear tube that just plugs in. When converting back for use at home I use a small cut off piece of the same tube that has been sealed off and plug that back in as I lost the original plug

Hello all. My Evo is to ship this week I am told. I am ordering tamper from Gilberto and am considering his tamp stand while I am at it. Gilberto is asking me if I can measure the diameter of the filter holder just below the two tabs so he can advise if his filter holder will work. Can one of you measure that for me and I will pass to Gilberto?

I will have IMS baskets and stock, so Gilberto recommended a 54.9mm tamper and a 55.05 distributor for the IMS.

cheers

Berryterry

DavecUK so a flow jet will do!

@LMSC

the pump isnt as bad as i feared, yes its louder than a rotary. but its on for a few seconds when you pre infuse. if a quieter version were to come in the future and its not ££££then it would be an option, but so far its ok, videos ive seen really seem to accentuate the sound,

ps thanks for the links

Berryterry

Stevebee thanks for that, and you moving this between home and farmer must be a job!

Stevebee

Berryterry It is. I’ve taken the weight out the back which saved 8kg which helps.

The back 2 feet are on rubber mats which stop any sliding and it hasn’t even looked like tipping over 4 months

DavecUK

Berryterry It should do yes…
