Did Clive coffee tell you that the next stock is arriving in 6 months time? I see that portland is about 200 plus miles from washingston state - maybe you can drive over to portland to pick it up when it does arrive.
As dfk41 mentioned, the acs machines are also hybrid levers. They are quite different from nurri leva though- but where I would depart from dfk41 is that the difference is not about technology in my view. This is because the nurri has all the technology it requires to do what it needs to do according to its own philosophy, and so do the evo and vostok according to their own philosophy. Any more or less would be sub optimal for either.
The difference rather lies in philosophy.
The nurri’s focus is how directly it connects the user to the act of making the coffee - u are really running rhe shot and have the level of control that puts the progress of the shot at your fingertips literally. It seeks to deliver the experience in an ergonomic, elegant and pleasurable manner through all the senses including that of sight viewing the aesthetics of the look of the machine itself.
Hence it is very different from the reliance of the vostok and evo on programming various options into the timer via the touchscreen controls. Likewise the need for the owner to fix and repair and maintain the machine himself for thr acs machines vs the support that the localdealer gives the buyer of the nurri either directly or through agents in one’s own home town.
Hence despite the superficial.similarity of the grouphead and the general concept of the hybrid lever, they really embody two different approaches and mentalities towards coffee machine philosophy. I distilled my view of this difference in the Apple iPhone (nurri) vs Samsung android handphone (acs) concepts. Or maybe even more aptly seen in the comparison beteeen the Apple notebooks and the Microsoft os controlled notebooks. There’s no right and wrong between which of the two is preferred- it just depends on what appeals to oneself more.
