Looks like it’s finally out… 6 years or so after the initial announcement. But the price… oh boy… £1.5k excluding taxes, VAT, duties etc.

For a machine which was bragged about for being approx. £1k… (https://www.home-barista.com/levers/announced-londinium-compact-t59354-190.html#p884749) as of Sept. 2022 that’s a price hike and a bit.

At least it’s out, and happy it is. I thought this would be a machine I would be interested in, but with such a price tag and all the “magic” behind, I will pass, at least for now.

I look forward to seeing more data regarding tempereture, pressure and evidence on how the machine works.

Intrigued to know how it deals with lighter roasts.

Franz has been advertising it hard for Reiss on HB….funny considering their rules. Someone else is poised to push it hard for Reiss in the UK.

its not but does coffee taste 3x times better? guess not :)

    Well seeing as no one has any real idea how coffee tastes out of the Vectis, even though it seems to break the laws of physics, who knows. One thing is for sure in some of the videos, all is not as it seems.

    I noted on one it snorting out steam and water, which means it was clearly too hot.

        noticed that too. Hence why I’d love to see some data :-)

            Cuprajake - sorry I’m not sure I understand. I’ve been saying this for the past 4 years at least. I actually read that HB thread now, and it seems that the experience is positive. But still, terms like “the group has reached equilibrium” - fantastic, that’s great. But at which temperature?

            Another video of someone pulling a shot barely managing to get 32g out of it (up to the last drop). Again, I’d love to see that the peak pressure is, and the declining rate overtime is.

            I just want to see facts rather than opinions, that’s all.

            There was one comment there saying that the group is very heavy, designed in such a way so it can keep at the right temperature, and that even after 20 minutes the group was not ready to brew.
            It’s an interesting read, and would love to see real numbers.

              Just think this thread is a bad idea that’s all.

                Agreed, I’ll lock it off then. In fact considering who started it and why…I might just remove it.
