JammyDodger Adrianmsmith does it extend the lever arm slightly to reduce the amount of force needed to make an espresso?
Norvin Adrianmsmith Extended steam tip. Steams one liter milk in five seconds, plenty of swirling action.
Amberale Adrianmsmith The Vostok is different, at least mine is. There is just a small “nipple” that barely protrudes from the machine and squirts into the drip tray. There is not enough tolerance around it to attach anything and it requires almost a full machine pull down to access it and retrofit something. I just use a strategically place piece of sponge.
Adrianmsmith Amberale Ah sorry i thought it used the same push fit nipple as the evo. Is it a 6mm push fit nipple just visible inside the drip tray. Cant see what is behind the sponge 🫣 Will remove the post id its specific to evo
Amberale I wasn’t sure about the aesthetics of the ACS “little lever”. I don’t know that the adjustability is needed without the safety system and $100 postage was a bit steep. So, I kept my eyes open until I found something that might work. It turns out that me old mum’s cake tongs and an m4 button head cap screw work a treat. I just need to get a SS dome nut next time I’m in town.
Amberale Adrianmsmith It’s a bit hard to get one from behind but here is one from the side and one from the top. On the top one you can see how the machining around the tong “hinge” fits around the end of the stock lever perfectly with clearances for the roller and the big lever but it has a lip that stops it from folding in use.
Amberale ******, I just realised that it doesn’t quite clear the left hand tab. Back down to the shed for a bit of profiling with the Dremel.
