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]

ACS Vostok

LMSC

Amberale EVO by the way.🤔😀

Yeah! That picture was to show the handle option. 😄

Amberale

LMSC

Did you get a price for that handle?
I can’t see it on the list and Maria hasn’t replied to my Valentines day message.

LMSC

Amberale handle is very tempting.

Please don’t start! We have some folks who may be tempted to grab one for their Evo! 🤣

Amberale

LMSC
It’s a no brainer for me.
If I can have one I want it.
It reminds me of Gabor’s stirrup handle for the original Naked pressure gauge kit for the Strietman CT1.
I’ll want a straight one as well.

Amberale

Thats mine 😉

I find it quite ergonomic, especially when I’m using two hands to pull down the lever.

The straight handle should be included too when you order the V handle, at least mine did.

Amberale

JWSG
Thanks mate, it is gorgeous.

LMSC

Amberale I think that’s listed as an LSM at £150 and Maria had provided the link for that lever handle.

She will definitely reply as they are extremely busy most of the time.

Amberale

LMSC

Yes they are usually very good and I try to never rush them.
I knew I should have sent chocolates.

simonko

Amberale I figure just the groups would be worth $6k.

Not far off - I bought two LSM groups from CoffeeParts about 5 years ago @ AUD900 each which they admittedly underquoted on - and were selling in the US at the time for about USD1000.

It’s sad that more groups make a machine look even more sexier

That sure didnt hurt the looks of the LSM V6!

Amberale

I’m trying to work out how I can put mirrors up around my one group to make it look bigger.
The Vostok I mean!
:)

simonko

Amberale

I was torn between the three lovely colours of the Nurri - but the decider was seeing the reflection of the group head and arms in the stainless steel.

The other plus is that you don’t get as fastidious about coffee stains when it’s stainless

good morning all, having owned and loved the Evo Leva for the past year, I am now fully and utterly converted to levers! After chatting a bit with @tompoland on another forum, I am considering ordering the Vostok 1 group, reached out to Maria today for more details! The Vostok adds the couple of features I would want to add to the Evo Leva, kind of seems like the perfect machine for me…are these machines shipping now? I have the V handle on my Evo Leva and will likely order the matching wood version from ACS…just got to decide on colour of machine

DavecUK

pipedreams86 Shipping very soon and worth the small wait.

pipedreams86

DavecUK thanks Dave, got my order placed today with Maria! She said shipping will be second half of may for my machine, thankful I have the Evo Leva until then! Super excited

Amberale

I’ve been told March for shipping but I haven’t checked in for a while.

DavecUK

pipedreams86 I know they have had a lot of pre-orders, probably putting them in delivery batches, no doubt some people who were first to order will get theirs earlier. It’s a great machine if you have the space… you are going to love it.

pipedreams86

DavecUK absolutely, I’m not worried about the wait, in any case it gives me time to think about the colour options! It was your advice in DMs in 2021 that persuaded me try the Evo Leva out and I’m very glad I did

tompoland

pipedreams86 welcome to the forum. @Amberale has looked closely at a multitude of lever options and ordered the Vostock and he is one of the reasons why I recommended that you check this forum out and consider the Vostock. So if you want to know why he ordered it, ask away and I’m sure he’ll be very helpful.
