Sorry mate, it’s not really that bad.
It’s just that it covers the lovely “Nurri” cut out and doesn’t look stable enough to put the scale underneath.
I’d also be concerned about it marking the front.
Manufacturers are catching up with a lot of thing so hopefully scale friendly designs are coming.
Who needs scales just count Mississippis and your fine 😂
Have you seen the acaia pixies there didy

Cuprajake good idea, I had forgotten about them.
Yes very tiny. Had one to try but sold it because the size of the lunar was more practical. It would have been a good option for the Nurri tx Jake but unfortunately it doesn’t come in white.
I’ve poured some shots with the AE stand and it worked pretty well.
This pic shows plan b which is a taller espresso cup (Fellow Monty Cup - Matte White/Copper - 6.5oz) alongside the AE stand, both on top off Lunar scales.
The gap between the group head and the top of the taller cup will work fine and I’ll see if I can get the local engineering shop to copy the Nurri riser, only wider.
I actually don’t use the wire stand that comes with the machine hardly at all nowadays since I put my timemore scale underneath. Once I put either a bodum or a kruve cup underneath the portafilter, i find the cup is high enough, so I find the height to be perfect actually.
That’s a good height between drip tray and group, that’s one thing that really annoys with a lot of machines
By the time you have scale and cup under the group it’s really tight.

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)…. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
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…

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.
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?)
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?
Paolo5 -
Just by googling up, see one example here:
Seems to stop 1 second or so after releasing the lever.
MediumRoastSteam Thanks.
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.
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.
I’m doubtful the issue has anything to do with paddle adjustments.
The pump is triggered when pulling down the lever by pushing past the black, cylindrical piece of rubber at the top of the post. If this piece of rubber is loose and lifts up rather than pushing out the post for the pump, then the pump doesn’t work correctly. In my case, I simply re-attached the piece of rubber and everything then functioned as it should.
cyclezib It’s difficult to remember, I should have looked at a photo of the test machine I had…I remember a network of springs and levers that had to be adjusted correctly. The pump I remember was actuated by a switch, which is why it runs continuously when the lever is down.
Thr paddle system is a mechanical system and originallly it didnt have the black plastic or rubber clip. The plastic piece was a recent addition to alleviate some users experience whereby the paddle system didn’t cut out immediately once the lever was released. So the plastic clip is supposed to increase the surface area or something like that to enable it to engage. Sometimes the pump doesn’t cut out immediatrly for me too once the lever is released so I jog the paddle or that actuator piece (the piece in cyclezib’s photo on which the black clip.is mounted) a little and that usually works. My machine was delivered without the plastic piece so I’m looking forward to getting the plastic or rubber clip (along with the lovely zebrawood covers for the paddles) to see if it makes it better.
BTW Antonio is finishing up the prototype for the control dial for the pump and its looking sweet. You are going to like how it looks on the back of your machine once the retrofit is ready.
My dealer tells me he has received the programming for the firmware for the PID upgrade from Antonio. Looking forward to see how that turns out.
AFAIK i am not aware of any customer who has complained of being delivered a unit of the nurri that is not fully functional. If u mean that there are some issues with some units such as the lag of one or two degrees between the temperature set in the pid for the grouphead and the temperature achieved, yes, but those units are fully functional. Even those issues are being addressed in the retrofit pid update that is being field tested currently - my dealer already has the firmware update with them.
I’ve moved these posts to the Nurri Lever machine area….where they are more appropriate.
The technician just installed the pid firmware upgrade on my machine and the rotary pump control dial (as well as the nice zebrawood wooden paddle covers).
The firmware changes to the PID seem to have done the trick - now the grouphead will always reach the exact set temperature rather than lag by a degree as previously before the firmware upgrade. As I understand it the firmware upgrade turns the pid into a true three channel PID whereby each channel is independent of each other.
The control dial for the pump makes it much easier to control the pressure of the preinfusion pump compared to changing the pressure setting with a screwdriver through a port in the back of the machine.
Has any other Nurri owner had these retrofits done to their machines yet?
chlorox not yet, great to hear about the upgrade offered by Nurri, presumably free of charge.
The timber paddle covers really set the machine off well. In my view they should be included with the machine, not as an optional upgrade.
I have the review finished, video produced, all ready to post. Just waiting for Antonio Nurri to get me his “manufacturers right of reply”.
