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.

Who is the dealer for USA who is importing it for you? I am sure you are looking forward to receiving it and getting it installed in your kitchen!

I am using the same force tamper that I was using earlier with my izzo and alternating it with the tamper that comes with the nurri. As for wdt tool and funnel, I am using cheap made in china ones that I got online. Most of the time I am using with the nurri my df64 with 64mm ssp cast steel lab sweet burrs (which are excellent), but at times I will use my old compak k10 manual.doser conical for a change. I am waiting for the delivery of a kafatek monolith though (yes, i cannot believe I am spending that sort of money for a grinder either - there seems to be no end to the gear upgrading effort so im endeavorijg to stop at the monolith!) so I cannot wait to see if that will further help improve the coffee taste.

What grinder do you plan to use with the nurri?

I suppose it depends from country to country depending on the dealer, but that is easily discovered tfrom their websites. In Australia for instance the price seems to be about aud4700 plus from dealers there while in Belgium it is about 4.5k euros for the white or black painted version with zebra wood panels from the Belgian dealer.

How much does the vesuvius evo cost direct from the factory ? Is it cheaper by virtue of that model?

Cuprajake

chlorox not sure, i got mine used,

i know the vostok is in the region of 3800 euro shipped to the uk as i asked lol

CoyoteOldMan

chlorox aud4700

That’s a ‘Google bot mistake’. The search bot picks up the USD price from the Alternative Brewing site, but it labels is as AUD; in AUD, it’s about 6800.

tompoland

chlorox AU$4,700 - I wish. The model I have (white and zebrano) is currently AU$7,390. CoyoteOldMan got it right

cyclezib

There is not a dealer in the US. I bought it directly from Antonio. The Canadian market will be served by IDrink Coffee. But they are a long ways away from me and have not imported their first machines.

I also have a Kafatek MC3 with the new Shurikone burrs. I’m anticipating that I will need a funnel to keep things cleaner (when I use Mr. Puff, it tends to blow grinds around). I was using a Craig Lyn Funnel II for my 49mm Strietman basket. It fit perfectly in the Kafatek and transferring to the basket was easy. But it is not the perfect size for the new baskets.

Yes I think a funnel that fits the 54.7mm portafilters will be far preferable. I believe that a 54mm stainless steel funnel can easily be obtained from alibaba or aliexpress to deliver to the states.

chlorox

Cuprajake is 3800 euros for the version with fancy wood panels too and does it include the shipping cost and customs duties? That’s a good price if it includes all those things. For me, the direct factory model doesn’t work for me as I want a dealer to maintain the machine for me, but YMMV.

CoyoteOldMan Or Nurri may well decide to go the ACS way, and offer a longer, parts-only warranty and direct support from the factory. Brexit or no Brexit, the UK is still geographically in Europe; more difficult to sustain that model with countries that are 6, 8 or 12 time-zones away.

What factory? Nurri do not have a factory. The machines are made for them from memory

chlorox

dfk41 really? I got the impression they are assembling the machines themselves at their facility. I will have to ask them about that.

CoyoteOldMan

dfk41 ACS do.

Nothing prevents Nurri from adopting the same model - where they ship parts from is immaterial, and the machines (and most of the parts) are made in Italy in any case.

chlorox

CoyoteOldMan right, thanks for the correction there!

Cuprajake

will be shipping but not customs, the uk would add 20% i presume,

didnt go into specifics as that was out of budget haha - but id presume so

chlorox

Cuprajake then that makes the vostok almost the same price or a little more expensive than the nurri if we assume Belgium has the same cost as UK..however Belgium would have local dealer support for the nurri…

That magnetic wooden funnel is very nice indeed!

CoyoteOldMan

tompoland Is the funnel just held by magnets, or does it have a lip inside the basket as well? I’m trying to find a ‘lipless’ funnel, as the ACS metal one leaves a ring in the grounds…

dfk41

CoyoteOldMan Disagree, there is a fundamental difference between owning a factory that designs, makes parts and builds to an assembly line within someone else’s factory

CoyoteOldMan

chlorox I wish you (or rather Google) were right!

chlorox

CoyoteOldMan

Hahaha same here man I wish I got tnat price myself! I think if the bare bones all stainless steel version is chosen the price can be a good deal lower.

CoyoteOldMan

chlorox It’s costly, but that Zebrano is so nice…

tompoland

CoyoteOldMan unfortunately it has a lip. Very small though. I’ll grind some beans, pull the funnel off, and upload a pic so you can see the impact (or lack thereof) of the lip. Back in 5.

I have to admit that the looks of my machine really do enhance the overall pleasure I get from drinking its espresso! So if exotic wood panels make iany machine look better - I have to say from experienxe rhta my opinion is now thar the option is always worth it if it canfit within the budget! :)
