Ah, so not newness then

Cuprajake No, I wish it was that simple.

ibnabouna you thinking of moving on the Mini? 🙏😉

ibnabouna

The Linea Mini is in the process of being sold, but I’m honestly a little hesitant because of this issue with the Vostok.

Jason1wood

ibnabouna did think that as read your issues. You have a buyer already for when it does go?

I’m sure it will be sorted

Work is still underway, but the coffee is flowing….

Raja123 You have had Decent. I believe you already sold it off. How does the cup compare versus Decent (based on what remember)? Thx

Edit:

Just curious. Sure, there could be a difference. 😊

Raja123

I’ve learned to keep those kinds of opinions to myself. What I will say is that I prefer fast fill and rapid pressure ramp shots, which the Decent cannot do.

My Vostok steam wand purge had that odd smell also and I didn’t think much of it other than ‘ new materials’ .. it has settled down and does not smell as strongly. I’ll check mine again also the brew boiler.

M5Sime Brew boiler water is OK.. Steam boiler purge water still has a smell and slight taste of ‘chemicals’ so obviously not yet settled down

DavecUK

When I used to review new machines regularly, they all had that new machine taste and smell for at least a month of extensive testing….except Quick Mill machines funnily enough, they were good to go in a day or so.

A couple more beauty shots…

Raja123 looks stunning, congratulations

I really miss my lever, im so annoyed at the whole situation tbh.

DavecUK

Raja123 Looks really good, the black and the wood work really nice together.

Where did you get those coffee tubes that hold 1kg?

😉

Raja123

You can probably find something on AliEx for that qty…. ;)

I roast small batches, so I use the originals I purchased when I was visiting Taiwan. :)

HarveyMushman

If you don’t mind me asking, is this on your kitchen counter or is that a dedicated coffee station?

If the latter, what unit do you use for it? I’ve been considering moving my coffee stuff to a dedicated unit elsewhere in the kitchen but haven’t found anything quite right.

Raja123

It’s a dedicated station that I currently have in my office/gaming room (still have work to do on the rest of the room). I had a carpenter put it together. There are quite a few that advertise on Instagram/Facebook/ebay. Just look up kitchen islands. The total cost is not much higher than the equivalent (and worse) Ikea units, which are not freestanding and are made of less robust materials.

Nice, thanks! I also have an office/gaming room so I might have to take a bit of inspiration from your setup!

Compared to ikea i like the one we purchased, but, bespoke as yours is would have been better .

These are better than ikea!! But no assembly required just 2 cars full of packaging to dispose if

The wood panel on the Vostok looks great

@ “DavecUK”#p76630

Thank you both. I can’t imagine being without a lever machine on the bar. There are so many things we encounter in which there’s an unsolvable dichotomy between function and form. Levers somehow manage to deliver both in spades.
