CoyoteOldMan Vostok is an Evo inside and can be plumbed or tanked…because the variable preinfusion ideally needs the machines pump to always take from the tank, much like a standard Vesuvius.

Preinfusion pressure is now on the front panel and managed electronically. I can do a video walkthrough of the 1 group Vostok today is people are interested.

All the same features are planned for the Evo

    Please do. :-)

    Thx

    With the vent function have they made a lock for the lever handle?

    Vid would be good, tbh that’s next level if those mods are coming to the Evo leva🤯

    Decent De1pro v1.45 - Niche Duo - Niche Zero - Decent is the best machine ever made -

      Cuprajake With the vent function have they made a lock for the lever handle?

      No, when it vents, it doesn’t move fast or with much force. There are other issues (which exist as a result of this type of venting) which I’d like to see improved, Paolo and I have some thoughts.

        Yes please!

        DavecUK Very interesting, thank you - so the feed-in solenoid re-opens when the shot is ‘ended’? And ‘non-brewed’ water is shunted to the drip tray, I assume?

          @DavecUK I just got my Evo Leva not even 2 months and ACS bring out Vostok 1 group. Not cool man. 💸💸💸💸 All joking aside. Wow. That is next level for lever machine.

          @ “tompoland”#p29717 @DavecUK I may have missed it but has the price been decided yet?

          Not completely but it should be about the same price as a Londinium LR24 or a bit more. It’s all stainless and much of it 3mm thick and quite expensive to make.

          They are also looking at what can be retrofitted to existing evos.

          • Rotary pump
          • Variable preinfusion via touchscreen
          • External box for automated operation and shot timers preinfusion/brew time etc.

          So previous purchasers have not been forgotten.

            Can you pop up the link to acs/Paulo Dave.
            I might have to send an expression of interest.
