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.

dfk41 agree 100% David.

I’m not knocking the influencers since I a get a lot of value from some but you’re on the money I reckon.

It’s the difference between a first date versus living together.

We’re looking to have that kit “move in” with is and live with it.

As such, giving us a thumbs up on a piece of kit is akin to them having one date with a girl/guy and then recommending that we marry them!

dfk41

chlorox I was not actually referring to either of the folks you mention but just in general. As for Hedrick, I would not watch a single thing he produces.

I would agree that it definitely would make the review a lot less persuasive if the blogger just had the gear for a few days and mad e a video on it for example.

You have to be above it. Those who get influenced find out the hard way a machine is not really to their liking. Serves them right for taking shortcuts.

On the other hand, I got a brief look of what a Nurri in blue looks like that I haven’t seen elsewhere. I’ve seen the new dial in other people’s content, what different colours and wood panels look like - it’s part of the joy of the hobby.

Wouldn’t have phased me one bit if Dave didn’t want to promote such people and removed the video.

Cuprajake

its just the new version of product placement

Cuprajake

to add, its pretty much there job to sell the product and give an insight, what i dont like is when info is wrong, theres no excuse for that, as thats not opinion based…

chlorox

Cuprajake

Actually my take is that the influencer is out to sell his own brand rather than the product. He gets income from having a following who trust what he says. So for him to just be a shill for the manufacturer totally defeats what he is trying to achieve as sooner or later people will catch on. So I reckon that it’s more complex than that and cannot be generalised as a whole …

DavecUK

chlorox I don’t agree, the influencer serves himself but has to shill for manufacturers as well, or they have to buy their own kit. Many influencers have fingers in pies they don’t disclose. There is so much hidden interest. One thing for sure, they only do it for the money, hence buyer beware.

chlorox

DavecUK

A couple of the more established bloggers do buy their gear to review so that would tend to promote a greater degree of independence.

Cuprajake

alot have patreon to support the habit.

Back in the day when hoffman did a lot of product reviews that’s what he did . .. I don’t tune in as much nowadays as his content seems more targeted at the more general populace…

cyclezib

My Nurri Leva came from the factory with the latest PID software and the dial for pre-infusion pressure. Honestly, I’ve not found a reason to modify any of the settings on the machine. I am perfectly satisfied with the factory settings.

If anyone is still having an issue with getting the pump to activate when the lever is pulled down, this is an easy, two minute adjustment to the switch. I’d be happy to walk you through how to do this or you might want to reach out to Antonio on WhatsApp for his guidance.

cyclezib

Also got confirmation from antonio that even my nurri which was built at the end of last year has an outer shell that is partially built of 304 while the rest is made of 430. The boilers are in fact 316. The newer nurri leva are having outer shell built of 304 entirely and boilers of 316 so your machine’s chassis may be entirely out of 304. I have told him he should talk to his distributors to get the info on the websites of some of his distributors updated - some even still have the photos of the first iteration which have the coffee bean shaped paddles rather than the lighting bolt shaped paddles!

simonko

cyclezib I found adjusting the 3d printed part was borderline - activated the lever sometimes, but not reliably. I would have expected my dealer to adjust that if it were the solution too. Just couldn’t move it enough, plus didn’t really like that it was a plastic hack replacing the function of the metal roller.

When I finally remember when the machine is not hot, I was going to loosen the front nut securing the switch to the front panel by a turn or two, tighten the back one - just to pull it out a little. Would love to hear if that’s not the suggested fix, as I still have a few ugly filter papers bridging the gap.

cyclezib

simonko

Yes, the goal is to move the button of the switch toward the front to make it more prominent. Should not take more than a minute to do.

simonko

cyclezib Excellent.

@tompoland So like I mentioned on another forum, I suspect moving it the other way would be the official solution for your opposite issue of the pump not deactivating.

tompoland

simonko will give that a go tx

chlorox

I know hedrick isn’t the most popular blogger on this forum but here is his review on the nurri which shows him making two shots on it without any music so that gives some idea on the noise level etc.

Here is a video by Simon which shows the nurri lever being used by him.

Cuprajake

chlorox having owning a nurri, did Lance get anything wrong with his info on the nurri?

dfk41

Cuprajake did Lance get anything wrong

Yes, he tried to sing…..someone really needs to tell him! Morning Jake, cannot sleep either!

chlorox

Cuprajake
I just realised that i accidentally replied to your question in the host milan thread instead! Anyway what I posted was that I don’t recall seeing anything that I would disagree with in his video but I should re watch it again more carefully.

chlorox

dfk41
I suppose it reflects his personality so if it makes his videos more interesting and as long as it doesn’t distract from his presentation, it can be a plus point…however I can see though that it may be off-putting to some so they may find the more matter of fact style of eg the coffee chronicler preferable….
