Believe it or not there is a Vostok 4 group selling in Brisbane for…..$6000aud negotiable! I wonder if I could cut it in half and share it with TomP.

@"Amberale"#p30446 Really, I didn't think they ever made a 4 group, even as a special? 3 group is the most?

Dunno mate,it's a FB marketplace thing, sounds like a cafe closing. I figure just the groups would be worth $6k. [URL=https://i.imgur.com/aY9E47w.jpg][IMG]https://i.imgur.com/aY9E47w.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

The ad claims only one of its kind ever shipped out of Italy. [URL=https://i.imgur.com/8JySFqU.jpg][IMG]https://i.imgur.com/8JySFqU.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

@"Amberale"#p30450 I can believe it's one of a kind. Paolo confirmed they made a few in the beginning, but they make no 4 groups now.

@"Inspector"#p30466 It would want to be. She is 4' long, weighs 110kg dry and uses 6000w.

@"Amberale"#p30446 or we can go halves and take turns. I'll have it for the first 20 years, and then you have it for the next 20. Fair 'nuff?

@"Amberale"#p30450 That is one VERY special machine. Studmistress OK with this? I can see here buying another ten bulls if you get this one AA.

The thing is spotless and I notice in the first picture it’s a mirror panel at the bottom showing the group, that’s a nice machine alright

@"tompoland"#p30494 It is spectacular isn't it mate. I am sort of toying with the idea of a one group Vostok and even that might not fit in the kitchen. This would have to go in the shed/pool room but is lots cheaper than a one group. [URL=https://i.imgur.com/wwVXBCQ.jpg][IMG]https://i.imgur.com/wwVXBCQ.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

I got a payment notice from DHL. Fees around $75. Hopefully this means good news.

It means you will get your machine very soon.

Loonster It’s most likely that the wrong tariff code has been used on the import documentation or there is some other issue with the paperwork. It happens remarkably often and is usually sorted quickly. Nothing more sinister than that. :-)

Hi Dave, your recently published YouTubes show that you do a kind of manual preinfusion. I assume this feature is also standard with the Vostok? Further question 😎 is the Safety Feature also part of the standard Delivery?

GCEMIDIL Hi Dave, your recently published YouTubes show that you do a kind of manual preinfusion. I assume this feature is also standard with the Vostok?

No. AFAIK, only 2 machines currently have that test feature. @DavecUK and @Cuprajake. In the evo thread, it was mentioned that they are working on a more production version.

GCEMIDIL Further question 😎 is the Safety Feature also part of the standard Delivery?

No. I paid extra for that feature.

Amberale

Hi Dave, what is the 16g basket you are using?

DavecUK

Amberale Hi Dave, what is the 16g basket you are using?

They fit San Marco and Dalla Corte, it says for 14g, but I put 16 in them

Amberale

DavecUK

Thanks Dave.
That appears to be an Edesia part#.
Looks like $30+ aud.
6pound +10pound delivery.

at the same dose and grind, would you say these have faster / the same / slower flow than IMS baskets?

Cuprajake

Get the ims

B662TH26M

Amberale

Cuprajake

Yep, I have one of those but I would like to try a lower dose basket.

DavecUK

Amberale Yep, I have one of those but I would like to try a lower dose basket.

The dimensions e.g. depth is the same as mine….!

Cuprajake

Amberale I do 16-17g in these

Cuprajake

DavecUK just thinking ims may be cheaper in aus

Amberale

Cuprajake

I did 16g in my IMS for my second shot this morning and it worked beautifully.
I have a vague memory of seeing a 22.5mm high basket somewhere but it may not have been 54-55mm.

DavecUK

bigeric at the same dose and grind, would you say these have faster / the same / slower flow than IMS baskets?

I have not used an IMS that size, so don’t really know.

Loonster

So it came yesterday, and after a couple of hours of peeling protective tape off, I got it setup.

Pictures do not do this thing justice. The machine is huge. As a first machines it is rather intimidating.

Coffee now takes up ¾ of all available kitchen counter space. I have a very understanding wife.

Congrats on your new vostok. I am not sure if u have done it already from the angle of the shot but if u haven’t, you could line up your machine with the panel between the upper cabinets so that the lever handle will mot impede you from opening the cabinet door above the machine. This is because u appear to have a sizeable panel between the cabinets.

JahLaza

Loonster it’s a thing of beauty, maybe one day I’ll be so lucky!

DavecUK

It’s bigger than people think, looks great though.

Cuprajake

That tends to be my go to

Loonster

As far as milk steaming goes, what is the volume limit that the Vostok is capable of?
