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

prezes It definitely will fit through a doorway no problem.

prezes

It had fitted ! I must say it is even bigger than I expected. MaraX looks like a toy next to it…

Initial setup is done, flushed it twice and just sat down to enjoy the first drink. Set one of the profiles to 10s at 2 bar and then 9.5bar 99sec to mimic MaraX and kept same grind and dose. Came out as good as earlier on Mara although it was 4 seconds faster.

prezes

I’m thinking of flushing the boilers again . I kept the water from the second flush and this is the sediment ! What do you guys think ?

@DavecUK

DavecUK

I always flush loads, but them I’m paranoid.

prezes

I shall do it again in that case

About to ask the numpty question of the week (or perhaps the decade!). How does one attach the drain hose to the drip tray? It looks like the black “plug” needs to be removed, but I have tried unscrewing it to no avail. Now that I have settled on a more permanent location in the kitchen it would be good get the drainage sorted out.

Stevebee

RDC8 It’s a compression fit. Pull the metal ring back at the same time as pulling the plug out. I asked the same question a while back so not too numpty I hope

If only all of life’s problems could be solved so simply

Cuprajake

push fit, the metal end pushed to the back and pull the plug towards you

PaulL

I have had the opportunity to plumb in various machines for drainage through the years but have words ringing in my ears (probably DC) that it can mask problems that might be shown from a filling drip tray, hence I’ve always loved the idea but have shied away from it.

Meldrew

Clever, it’s easy when you know how. Must admit it’s not obvious.

JahLaza

Meldrew have you made friends yet?! Have you had some coffee out of it yet?

Meldrew

JahLaza made Some last night and this morning. Have just set it up for 30 seconds at 9 bar to get used to dialling in and keeping it standard until I am more confident. Using dark woods coffee medium roast. Tasting notes French toast on a summers morning.?. Had a slight fruit taste but a bit bitter. Tried this morning with milk which was ok. Need to get rid of the bitterness. I am pleased with the machine especially when you look inside it’s well laid out.

prezes

@DavecUK are you able to point me towards a direction of a two hole steam tip which will fit the Vesuvius ? I am really struggling with steaming small amounts for my single shots.

I might have answered it but am I right in thinking the minima would be perfect ?

caffeineus_impervious

Does anyone have a contact number for Paulo?

I wired the money to him almost 3 weeks ago and still haven’t had confirmation of shipping, or any communication in the last couple of weeks.

Emailed him a week ago, again this morning and tried calling the number at the bottom of his previous emails but nada.

I don’t mean to be impatient but I think this is a bit much…

Paolo_Cortese

caffeineus_impervious I’m already replied two times, today no electricity at all in the company due of some works in our area that’s why no one answer. On 26 I’ll send the old email and the delivery date. Sorry.

Tim_2_5

caffeineus_impervious

I’ve spoken to Paolo and Maria on the phone a few times over the last couple of weeks for updates and understand that there have been a few issues that have caused the delay. I was told last week to expect dispatch before the end of the month.

I’m sure @Paolo_Cortese is looking after it and there’s nothing to worry about.

Meldrew

caffeineus_impervious I would not worry I am sure Paolo has everything in hand. I was having problems transferring the money as it kept being rejected by the bank. Paolo was busy with the show at Rimini at the time, You could not have asked for anyone more helpful, Paolo kept in touch at every opportunity trying to sought things out even though he was busy. You will soon be receiving your new toy to play with I am sure.

Hi Guys

My Brewtus that I won in a raffle over on the other forums is dead and not worth spending the £4/500 repair bill. So, I’ve been looking at investing in a new machine. I’m between the Vesuvius V2 and Letit Bianca which seem to be available around the same price.

Which machine would be the better unit?

Ta :)

DavecUK

Apcreek It would depend on what you really want to get from the machine, where your interests lie. Both are nice machines, but very different..
