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,

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.

Greetings from SoCal USA! I have been searching the forum for the Vesuvius advance menu settings, (not the default one or stocked), I know I saw it one time but can’t remember if from this forum (maybe tapatalk or coffeeforum.co.uk) If you have the link, please share. Thanks
Hello everyone,
I was practically brought up with coffee, given my Italian roots, and started to develop a love for it from a very early (maybe to early?!) age. While I was used to drinking moka at home and espresso exclusively in naples when visiting family, a few years ago I decided to buy an espresso machine to make traditional neapolitan espresso like in my favourite bars in Campania. This is still my goal.
My first machine was a Zacchoni Riviera manual lever machine. After a few modifications and a steep learning curve, it produced excellent shots. Unfortunately, there was no way to make two shots in a row due to the worst temperature stability imaginable.
Given my still non-existent budget, I then bought a modified Rancilio Silvia with a PID and an ITO module for profiling, with the aim of mimicking traditional lever machines. For various reasons, I knew this was only a temporary solution.
I am now about to order an ACS Vostok in the hope of finally finding peace of mind.
I drink only very dark Neapolitan roasts and can understand why many people do not like them. I think I have never had a really good Neapolitan style espresso outside of Naples. And even in naples you do not find these at every corner. However, if done correctly, the perfect Neapolitan espresso tastes like pure dark chocolate with hazelnuts and has the consistency of syrup with only a slight hint of bitterness, comparable to a very good dark chocolate.
That is my goal!
Given the expertise on EVO Levas (and Vostok) on this forum, I thought this must be the place to be.
Long story short: happy to be here!
