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.

Hi Dave….do you know if the Nurri uses a vibratory or rotary pump for pre-infusion?

DavecUK

Paolo5 Hi Dave….do you know if the Nurri uses a vibratory or rotary pump for pre-infusion?

It uses a rotary pump, in the early machine I tested. You adjust the pump balanced bypass for the preinfusion pressure you want, via a hole in the case. Mine was a very early model, so I could give Antonio some engineering feedback…not for a public review.

It might be that in current models it’s different, but I am sure they wouldn’t use a vibration pump?

Paolo5

Thanks Dave. I just asked Antonio on Instagram and he replied within minutes. He confirmed that the production Nurri Leva (at least in the Australian model) uses a rotary pump.

The newest batches will have a new feature whereby the rotary pump is controllable through a dial at the rear of the machine sourcing from a suggestion I made to Antonio. What this means is that it will be much easier and more practical to change the pressure level of the pump during preinfusion than before

Bella Barista no longer seem to stock Nurri.

Whether they have taken it off the list of machines they sell because there are delays in manufacturing/shipping or whether they no longer deal with Nurri I have no idea.

dfk41

CoyoteOldMan Email them and ask them, perhaps…….

CoyoteOldMan

dfk41 I’m not in the market - perfectly happy with the ACS at the moment; it was just an FYI/update note for people researching the machine.

chlorox

The nurri is still available through dealers in Belgium, Australia and a couple other countries as I understand it. I believe you can also get it directly from nurri for countries not having any dealers.

dfk41

Slightly odd then that BB have decided not to stock and sell. I wonder why?

MediumRoastSteam

dfk41 Slightly odd then that BB have decided not to stock and sell. I wonder why?

Who knows. They also don’t stock any of the ACS machines - they used to. I wonder why?

Edit: no hidden agenda. Just playing devil’s advocate. 🤪

I’ve been looking at Lever machines and like many others the ACS EVO Leva and the Nurri Leva seem to be the most attractive. I do have one question about the Nurri Leva though:

There is a plumbing option for the Nurri Leva I believe with a red internal switch to change between the tank and the plumbed water line input. When plumbed in, is the rotary pump bypassed with preinfusion pressure coming only from the water line? Or is the rotary pump still used for preinfusion?

Forgive me if this has been previously answered but I didn’t see it.

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.

tompoland

I would have thought that the rotary would still needed so that pre-infusion pressure can be adjusted, which it can be.

Mine will be here in two weeks so if you give me a nudge I’ll check.

TrampGeo

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

John_Yossarian

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

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.
