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.

Cuprajake - if I want to put a small espresso glass really close to the group with the Elizabeth, I just put an upside down cup on top of the scale, and then the espresso cup on top of it. Simples. 😊😉

(Ps: it also has a platform, but… meh)…. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

tompoland

MediumRoastSteam that would be too easy and simple. I have a life long addiction to making things harder than they need to be and I’m buggered if I’m going to stop now. I’m too close to the finish line.

Not sure if this is old news but it just popped up on my YT feed. Feel like a few folks may froth over this, maybe not…

There is a thread on this forum on that upcoming machine already…

JasonG not to late to reserve one though!

JasonG

tompoland 😂 I wish, sadly my apportioned budget wont allow. I’m in the early stages of building a house and as such, the build budget is heavily favoured. I’ll keep an eye for yours in the classifieds once you’ve had a play 😉

I happened to come across this video and realised it was shot by Antonio nurri showing him using his machine with a blind filter and then releasing the pressure with the left paddle. As the video shows the lever handle rises smoothly and at a safe speed. I trust that this video is what you were looking to see, Jake?

(Unfortunately this forum doesn’t seem to allow Facebook links but the video can be googled by searching for Talk Coffee’s #2 video on the nurri.)

Despite Nurri only keeping the lever depressed (and the pump switched on) for only 3 to 4 seconds, the rate of ascent of the leve handle once the left paddle is engaged is still at a safe speed.

Cuprajake I was always told, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it 🤣

Nah, if it ain’t broke, then you can spend time improving it rather than fixing it.

That’s the great thing about being hobbyists - we don’t have to work to a budget.

simonko

chlorox I think the only situation where one could be in danger for any lever is if one pulls down the lever of any machine out there on an empty portafilter - the one big no no of spring lever practice.

Another situation that happened to me a few times with the Izzo until I found the cause - group seal drying out to be rock hard causing portafilter to unlock during extraction. No damage though beyond a broken cup once. I don’t expect it to be an issue with the Nurri though as the quick warmup doesn’t mean 16 hours of heat per day like the Izzo had (plus maybe silicone standard?)

simonko

That’s interesting- I didn’t change the gaskets on my izzo for a very long time and towards the end of my ownership of it, it did have the tendency to require me to crank the portafilter extra deep in just to make sure it didn’t work itself loose and pop the portafilter out. So your story may have resolved that particular mystery for me.

On the nurri - u r right there; I generally leave it on for only as long as it takes to warm up (15 mins) and to make my shots and then I turn it off.

Most energy efficient way to use the machine.

Short heatup’s definitely a killer feature.

Plus additional pros:
- Protection of electronics - I’ve seen heat shields in other machines
- kitchen will be a few degrees cooler!
- colleagues on web meetings will no longer be able to say, “Heh Google, turn off coffee machine”

Cons:
- Too convenient to have another coffee.

The group seal was crazy hard, shattering when getting it out (I thought only latex could get that hard.)

To all Nurri users-

After the pump has built up pre-infusion pressure in the coffee-filled basket….and the first droplets drop into your cup and you lift the lever (with the shot now under spring pressure)…how many seconds more does the pump keep running in your machine?

tompoland

Paolo5 I’ll time it next time but from memory it cuts right away. And you’re asking because…???

Paolo5

tompoland I am asking because the pump in my machine stays pumping for 10 plus seconds after the lever is lifted.

MediumRoastSteam

Paolo5 -

Just by googling up, see one example here:

Seems to stop 1 second or so after releasing the lever.

Paolo5

MediumRoastSteam Thanks.

tompoland

Paolo5 there is an issue on some machines with the pump not activating automatically when the lever is pulled down. Mine has that issue. A part is in transit to me from Antony at Casa Espresso to rectify that. It slips on over the rear of the paddle area I think. It may be that your issue is related. Suggest you contact Antony. Any easy fix apparently.

It hasn’t been a problem for me because I’ve simply activated the pump by pressing the right paddle towards the machine. That said, I’m still looking forwardto having rectified.

Paolo I’ve been using the 9barista this last week almost exclusively so my memory of the Nurri is a little hazy but as I think about it I seem to recall that I am often deactivating the pump after I lift the lever, by nudging the right paddle towards me.

I’ll fire her up tomorrow and report back.

DavecUK

Paolo5 The paddle system of springs and switches has to be adjusted just right. If not, the pump will continue to run until the switch actually finally deactivates to stop it. Check to see if there’s an adjuster you can tweak slightly.
