Hello, I have another question to fix another issue with my vintage Vesuvius.
My brew lever drops *just* enough after the low pressure 1st stage as it enters into the next, higher pressure phase. The lever drop is very small, just enough to disengage the button. If I babysit the lever by holding it up gently during the transition to the higher pressure phase it stays there. Thank you, David
Kape17 Could be a worn cam I guess…or an early one where the cut was not so good…I don’t know. Also check this document out, the FAQ.

Hi guys, just discovered where everyone had gone from the other site. I’ve been using a Cafelat Robot and a J-Max for the last couple of years, now thinking of upgrading to a Bianca and DF64P.

Isn’t this for the Evo leva rather than the e61 pressure profiling machine?
RonnieRobot - Welcome.
There is a member here who wasn’t too pleased with the DF64P. There’s a thread about it.
MediumRoastSteam I saw the post from Kyle T, Bella Barista said they couldn’t replicate the issue on his returned item. I wouldn’t mind DF64 if that was better, as I’ve swayed back and forth many times and been unable to come to a conclusion.

I’ve had my DF64 for almost 2 years now. I’ve changed thr burrs to Mazzers and done a few mods (changed the clump crusher) and a couple of 3d printed bits and I’m very happy with it.
Well the v4 is currently in stock so I’m very tempted🤔
Forgot to mention that I’ve ordered a replacement dial sticker from BB last night too. Looking forward getting the zero point on the dial actually pointing at zero as well as kissing goodbye to the horrendous font from the first release lol

So this is where everyone is! Been away a while and came back to find everyone gone. Great to see all here. My name is Sanad. I started my coffee journey in 2017 and current setup is:
Vesuvius v2 (Black, stainless steel internals)
EK43 with Titus burr carrier and SSP HU burrs
Weber Key grinder in Onyx black
Portable setup: Kinu M47 with pour over burrs and V60/Aeropress
Recently bitten by the lever bug……..
oh, and based in Sheffield.
I’d say the Mazzer burrs are well worth the upgrade. They only cost me £28 from this seller on ebay:
Mazzer make great burrs,
Decent De1pro v1.45 - Niche Duo - Niche Zero - Decent is the best machine ever made -
Is the Vesuvius espresso machine NSF certified?

Kape17 They sell in the USA, the group has only “Zero Lead brass” (it’s why the piston assembly looks like steel, not brass coloured as in some machines), or stainless in contact with the water, re the lead content (plus some short pure copper pipes). you really need to check with ACS.
