Hey guys we are going to show our machines at Sigep in Rimini, after that we will sell 3 Vesuvius at 1650 GBP shipped. for any info email me at p.cortese@elcor.it thanks Paolo

@"Snooze"#405 - Please check this out.

bargin this, kinda tempted myself, anyone want a bianca haha

@"Cuprajake"#p11411 Agree. I was thinking the same.

I'm so glad there is absolutely no way this will fit on my counter. This may have just saved my life

@"Cuprajake"#p11411 Book this and put up the Bianca for sale.

@"Cuprajake"#p11411 If you were closer to Glasgow I would be interested in the bianca😊

@"Cuprajake"#144 @"Lawman"#242 Both of you are not far away from each other. I think you can meet a half-way.

@"Lawman"#p11415 @"Cuprajake"#144 Why have I got the feeling that there are two people just about to get a good buy on a coffee machine 🤔

What does the V2 mean in terms of technology? Is it still the same machine or has it been improved functionally? Mine has just turned 2 years delivering impeccable shots and yet the itch is here. Can anyone shed some light?

Vesuvius V2 deal

Meldrew

Mik3 Thanks. I might contact them to see if they can update me. Don’t want to l come home to find it left on doorstep.

Meldrew
Mine is at the local delivery depot as well. I signed up to email/sms updates and have been receiving some but not all of them. It looks like they might arrive early!

Meldrew

prezes I have had some emails and text updates. So fingers crossed. Not sure if my WhatsApp registration was successful. I have not done anything with the delivery options like the non contact delivery as that is not quite clear enough to me. It implies to me that they could just leave it if you are not in. I don’t want the parcel just left I want to be there when it comes.

prezes

Meldrew just had an email to say shipment on hold and due to delivered on the 12/4. Logged and it let me select a delivery date with earliest tomorrow so it looks promising !!

Meldrew

prezes ME again. What did you log into to get the available date change.

At this stage guys it could be best to go for a walk and breathe in the air!! Only kidding. Well kind of! Mine kept saying delivery date of the following Wednesday (which would have been just short of 2 weeks delivery time) until I checked it the previous Wednesday night and it said it had arrived at sorting facility in Ireland. It stayed in that status the next morning when I rang dhl and spoke to a human being.. yes.. can you believe that, I spoke to a human being when I had an enquiry!! The helpful lady said it may or may not have arrived in with the container that it left in (I couldn’t get my head around that when it said that my package was at the sorting facility!) but that she would request an update which would result in me receiving a text when they’d finished all scans for the day. I received a text at 10am to say it was out for delivery. 6 days prior to the expected delivery date all along - just mad! This is an impatient time I understand but as the above story illustrates there’s no rhyme or reason to this part of things! Oh and ‘good things come to those…’

Meldrew

Thanks for the info. You just never know what to do. I am tempted to give them a call as it has been at teeside since Monday evening. You would like to think that it would be out for delivery soon.

Meldrew

Well just had the message to tell me mine is out for delivery

Tim_2_5

Thanks for all the advice the other day! I should have one getting dispatched this week also. Sitting waiting tentatively for the dispatch notification now.

caffeineus_impervious im in that same position but there seem to have been plenty that have bought in this way from Paolo. @Cuprajake swapped his Bianca for one and bought this way I think?

Meldrew

Well it’s here

DavecUK

Meldrew Looks like all the legs are on, so should hopefully be all good inside..

Panic over…machine delivered 😉

caffeineus_impervious

Now that’s a box!

Meldrew

Looking ok just have to take my time and do everything right.

DavecUK

Meldrew Those bags for the portafilters are a new thing….

Alexvs

Meldrew Looks lovely but also a bit of a beast. My wife would not let me have that much kitchen surface and already complains about my coffee corner with the Minima haha. I like how you’re actually out of the way of the functional kitchen, so your wife should be all good with you as you won’t get under each others feet lol.

Meldrew Congratulations on the purchase. Can I just check the design of your drip tray and cup warmer: are they of a “wire rack” design? or are they more like a flat plate with holes punched out of them? Mine was shipped back in november with a temporary solution (flat plate with holes drilled) due to supplier issues. If yousr are the “wire rack” style then I will need to remind Paolo that he promised to ship these once they became available. Have you got some silicone matting to protect the cup warmer? It’s a small cost to avoid accidental scratches.

Meldrew

Alexvs I had a new mixer for doing some baking just before Christmas so I have spent most of the morning sorting cupboard space out as the mixer was where the Vesuvius is. I won’t be getting under her feet as I think I have been driving her mad with everything so going to keep in her good books.She is pleased for me . I think? The delivery has caught me out as I haven’t even got the Osmio ready. So will be busy today.
I don’t think I will use it though, just going to sit here and admire it’s good looks a polish it.
DavecUK The portafilter covers are a nice touch. You even get a key ring.

Cuprajake

very nice, congrats

Meldrew

I know what most of these are but not where they go. Can anyone advise at all please.

Gagaryn

Meldrew They all go in a drawer for safekeeping. :-)

1 - Group spring. Probably got a fancy name.

2 - Steam wand if you are a softy.

3 - 7 - Dunno.

8 - Gicleur - top of group.

9 - The key things that get moved by the brew lever cams - Probably got a fancy name.

10 - Machine screws. Hold on the top, sides or bottom.

11 - Gaskets - think these fit the brew lever and somewhere else on the group

DavecUK

Meldrew They are a little handy pack of spares…they go into storage until you need them. Difficult to tell the size but.

Spare E61 group spring, probably middle one…which you don’t need, but could come in handy
steam wand rubber sheath so you don’t burn yourself if you make it into a burny wand, or do a lot of steaming in one session
Dunno can’t make it out
steam and water wand O rings
Group lever stem seal, usually come in pairs (stops the annoying drip from the lever steam after about 3 -4 years
Adaptor from big to small, unless there is a mechanism inside
Fibre washers for wherever fibre washers have been used
Spare Gicleur, or might be alternative size (size is printed on them, usually 0.7 or 0.5mm
Spare cam follower pins…quite useful in case yours ever get worn and annoying part that is difficult to come by on it’s own.
spare stainless bolts
Teflon O rings for the group, they look like the larger size ones, usually there are 2 sizes used in an E61 group, they could be top large bolt and bottom preinfusion chamber ones.

Meldrew

Gagaryn Thanks a lot for this. This will make things a lot easier now I have an idea of where they may be needed.
