CoyoteOldMan you’re welcome. It’s certainly rigid enough with just the one cross brace.
Nurri Leva S.A.
Amberale I presume they are a higher spec than those on the Lelits
they look exactly the same :-)
just a generic plastic connector, most use them, mine has one,

Does anyone know the ID of the pipes so that the appropriately sized Y connector can be ordered?
The guy in the Coffeesnobs entry that Tom referred to stated ¼″(so 6mm)….can anyone confirm that?
5 days later
¼ inch is correct. My brass connector arrived today but I’m waiting for a tiny pair of hands to walk in the door before I attempt to fit it. The access is too small for my big mitts.
Also, i just noticed that the original blue connector looks far more solid than the ones in photos that have failed (from other machines). So now I’m wondering if it’s even worthwhile to swap it out for brass. I may just keep the brass one as a back up.
Thanks for that information, Tom. 👍

Thats a good point. It may be better to keep the stainless steel connector in reserve until it is needed if the original part breaks down. Even if it does break down, also consult with the dealer and manufacturer first on whether to use that part or their replacement part in the interests of the warranty.
yeah, id leave be till needed, id say get some of the silicone tubing too for when the time comes as most the time, you see the connector and tubing degraded,

What size tubing would you used for the brass connection. It’s prob worth looking at it for mine in the future.
You’d think they would be metal the small fortune these machine cost haha

Just measured and mines 7mm od so sounds about right

This was very interesting. Showcasing a smoking hot Kees Van Der Western Slim Jim which IMHO is the most desirable lever on the planet. But is besides the point which is that two of the features showcased in the video (flush and pressure release) are replicated by the paddles on the Nurri.
I really like the look of the new ACS Vostock and the inclusion of a similar post-shot pressure release feature is impressive too but I am hoping that it can be manually triggered because I like the way the Nurri paddle allows me to choose when to end the shot, like on the Slim Jim.
For me the idrocompresso isnt in the same category as its not available in single group form and the size and cost of the 2 group machine are prohibitive to all but the very well heeled being many times the cost of the nurri. Despite that I believe the only things the slim Jim can do that the nurri cannot do are the ability to adjust the length of the springs and the safety feature to lock the lever handle. All othrr things held comstant is there going to also necezsarily be any better quality in the cup? I doubt that as well.
What happens it you accidentally vent the group
I’ve often though about this for both the nurri/Vostok
I know the kvdw has the lock
I’ve pondered that the vent on the nurri/vostok will be a limited size so it allows the arm not to ping back but come back slower is that the case

The nurri’s venting merely causes the lever handle to rise slowly at a safe pace. Whether this is done by the controlled rate of water release or by a servo mechanism I do not know, but the release motion is very smooth and entirely safe and predictable. See this 2021 video for instance from about 1:44 onwards…

im meaning more an accidental knock, say press the lever/button -safety say when its down, the kwdw has a catch to hold it there, i believe the oe lsm group is damped
