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.

    DavecUK I can do a video walkthrough of the 1 group Vostok today is people are interested.

    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.

          Amberale LOL… count me out. No room on the bench after the Nurri arrives. Whenever that is. Orange card marks the “reserved for Nurri” spot.

            Thats pretty close to the Nurri in price with the added innovation with being able to adjust time and pressure for preinfusion at the front of the machine including a digital display to confirm both.

            @DavecUK a big thanks for your video, it’s fabulous to have a sneak preview into a machine like this with such a quality pedigree, like a world premier exclusively here on CT.

            Dave the digital panel on the right hand side looked like changing a setting was very easy/intuitive by contrast with the display and button combination on the left which looked a lot less intuitive. Was that your experience?

            That said, it sounds like it’s still very much a prototype and if so, I’d personally be voting for a single digital display to replace the current display/button combo on the left hand side.

            However I really like the idea of having the two separate displays because it makes each display simpler than having one bigger display that does everything.
