Just downloaded footage from my secret webcam in the kitchen of @"DavecUK"#1 only to discover that he's been holding out on us! Cmon Dave, spill the beans (not the coffee ones) on this geourgeous looking leva. [URL=https://i.imgur.com/Y7e0uuz.jpg][IMG]https://i.imgur.com/Y7e0uuz.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

For this machine it's one of the first made, and I am doing an Engineering review on it for Antonio (the creator) as a favour, so I can't really comment at this stage. But I can post photos….and say that the Paddle levers on this are very basic beta ones….so that area is still in the design melting pot.

needs to be 50mm shorter for a uk work top haha i believe this is a commercial focsed machine?

I love the look of these sorts of lever machines, but they really need to at least try to make them a bit more compact in design. They're either lacking in that area of expertise or they don't care… A more compact design would look like a much better centre piece in a kitchen (and take less space in a commercial setting), rather than protruding till the near edge. The size distracts from the elegance of it.

Certainly a looker. I'm sure we will all look forward to your thoughts when you are able to comment.

@"Cuprajake"#p10000 no it's for the home market

@"Cuprajake"#p10000 from the nurri website https://www.nurri.coffee/portfolio-item/nurri-leva-sa-machine/ L-TYPE LEVA S.A. is a professional machine. Yes. But it is designed for those who want to enjoy quality espresso at home, making it with the same passion and competence of a professional bartender.

@"tompoland"#p10004 I like how they stuck Patent Pending on everything 🤣 a bit unprofessional.

@"Sham"#p10001 I agree when it comes to similar sized Levers that require external plumbing or flojet type arrangement. But the Nurri is dual boiler and plumbing is optional. Still, I agree that it's a lot for a normal kitchen. I like the footprint on the Decent for example.

Powder coated version. Wow. [URL=https://i.imgur.com/7uFzqtw.jpg][IMG]https://i.imgur.com/7uFzqtw.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

@"tompoland"#p10007 In that case they should have either decreased tank sizes and utilised quicker water heating technology (I'm sure there's loads of options from other industry's) or started with a more wide design but I guess that would've cost too much R&D time. One way to think of it is that they won't lose customers if its small, but they will lose customers if its too big. It does look pretty nice though.

Thanks.

My first post. I forgot to mention that I really like Coffeetime - an example of what special interest forums could and should be.

TrampGeo Welcome to the Forum

What is the price point?
It looks a very fine machine indeed. I look forward to reading Tom’s review once he gets it @tompoland 🙂

CoyoteOldMan

John_Yossarian What is the price point?

Somewhere around EUR 3500 / GBP 3000 / USD 3600 excluding shipping, taxes and custom duties, with a factory (parts) warranty. A bit more with wood accessories/sides.

tompoland

John_Yossarian me too!

It’s been a looong wait. Ordered in February from memory.

It’s now in Melbourne getting the once over by the hyper diligent Chris Natoli of TalkCoffee who is planning to ship it to me around December 6th. Means I’ll probably have it around the 13th.

So hopefully I can post a review mid January.

tompoland

John_Yossarian I paid AU$6,790 for the white with zebrano model. Because I’ve bought through a trusted retailer that includes freight from Italy to Australia and customs import duties.

https://www.talkcoffee.com.au/shop/l-type-sa/

Looks like thats gone up to AU$7,390.

CoyoteOldMan

TrampGeo Welcome!

In addition to @tompoland ’s answer re: pre-infusion pressure - I believe it is possible to modify the Nurri in the same way that some have modified the ACS Leva to bypass the pump, resulting in near-silent operation. However, you’d lose the ability to vary PI pressure. If you are looking at lever machines in that category/price range, ACS’s new 1-group Vostok could also be interesting.

CoyoteOldMan

tompoland Nice Christmas present! Enjoy!

John_Yossarian

tompoland Thanks Tom for providing the information. It seems Christmas will come earlier this year 🙂.

Fingers crossed that the transportation goes as planned and the machine arrives intact.

I look forward to your (I am sure of it) detailed and passionate review. 👍

Cuprajake

Am I right in thinking Bella barista have dropped the nurri?

CoyoteOldMan

Cuprajake So it seems. And the Minima too.

Cuprajake

CoyoteOldMan they stopped acs ages ago

CoyoteOldMan

Cuprajake They still had at least one in stock when I ordered my Leva in June… as they had a Nurri (or two - I think one in stainless and one in wood finish)

MediumRoastSteam

Yeah, I don’t think the Nurri machines lasted very long at Bella Barista. They’ve been out of stock for a while now, but were in stock (or was it pre-order) a few months back.

tompoland

I wonder if predictable supply is an issue. Over 60 direct pre-orders at the Milan show alone.

TrampGeo

Got an email reply from Antonio Nurri about U.S.A. TYPE-L availability yesterday:

"We’re going to manufacture the first batch of 110V beginning of next year.
Meanwhile we’re dealing with a nearby distributors and will keep you posted about that."

When I get more info I will post it here.

Dave: Are you at a point where you can share what you liked about the Nurri Leva S.A. and what you didn’t like?

cyclezib Dave: Are you at a point where you can share what you liked about the Nurri Leva S.A. and what you didn’t like?

I think it would be unfair to do that because the machine I looked at was one of the first 3 made and I think, very much a prototype.

tompoland

cyclezib FWIW I’ll post a review of my unit after 90 days of daily use, around the second half of March.

cyclezib

I’m expecting mine by the end of January. Just excited about receiving it and also interested in whether it makes espresso as good or better than the Strietman? I’m hopeful for better consistency.

dfk41

cyclezib Can I ask you a question matey? Firstly, I am an Evo Leva owner, and secondly, if the Nurri had been available when I bought mine (arrived June 2021) would I have considered it over the Evo? Of course, I cannot start to answer that as the simple answer was that it was not available! So, could you share with us, the deciding factors that made you go Nurri?

tompoland

cyclezib I can confirm that you’ll get greater consistency with the Nurri. I have both and love them both very much.

The consistency in the Nurri comes from the pre-set pressure of a sprung lever machine versus the manual pressure of a direct lever.

There are pluses and minuses with both direct and sprung. The direct gives you more real time control over the pour. The sprung trades that level of control off for consistency. Yes, you can stop a sprung lever but it’s not built for that.

To date, I have different grinders paired with each of the two machines so I can’t tell you if one produces a preferred espresso versus the other.

One day I’ll dial in the Moca SD for the Strietman and do some side by side comparisons between it and the Nurri.
