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

DavecUK

JahLaza Folks - maybe one of you owners could advise please? The depth (Listed as 510mm), is that from the very back of the unit to very front of drip tray? Thanks in advance

Yes, it’s the maximum length…to the front of the drip tray…as you stated.

JahLaza

Great thanks Dave

Meldrew

Well the deed is done. Finally got the money to Paolo this morning. So just got to get my water right. Could be a RO unit and a lot more grovelling to the wife.

JahLaza

I just applied for admission to the Vesuvius club too - Paolo just got paid yipee!! @DavecUK are there any suggested settings such as PID in the Elizabeth with this machine?

Meldrew

JahLaza Congratulations. It’s a no brainier such a great opportunity. I am sure Dave will advise if we have any questions.

DavecUK

JahLaza settings such as PID in the Elizabeth with this machine?

Not from me so much because I had an Alpha and one of my group cartridges stopped working after 3 days. (long story about an old scrap group). @Eiffel has collected together a great FAQ.

2 things though, ensure the B parameter for the brew boiler is set to 100 and keep a 6-8C difference in temp of brew boiler to group. e.g. group 92 Brew boiler 98 to 100, then that will be good for group temps from 92-94 or even 95

Gagaryn

DavecUK Isn’t this the Leva settings rather than the V2?

Eiffel

DavecUK . @Eiffel has collected together a great FAQ.

In case there were any confusion, the FAQ is for the Evo Leva rather than the E61 based Vesuvius V2

Meldrew

DavecUK Thanks Dave. This will be my first machine, talk about jumping in at the deep end. Bit of a jump from a Nespresso machine. Any advice on my journey is going to be much appreciated.

I’m obviously getting old

Meldrew - That’s amazing! Congratulations!

JahLaza

Did I purchase the wrong machine 😫😫😂😂

Meldrew

MediumRoastSteam Thanks. I Think JahLaza and I might just have landed the deal of the year. Just hope I don’t become a pain by asking too many questions.

Stevebee

At virtually half the price of the Evo I’d say no!

JahLaza

Stevebee so,if I put a lever on the front of it would I have an evo? (Just messing… sort of!!)

DavecUK

Meldrew It is a very good deal indeed.

JahLaza

Meldrew I must admit I am very happy to land this. I would have happily stayed with the Elizabeth for a long long time without thinking of changing but the price and timings fell right for me on this occasion. You have skipped some of the early fences of the journey by landing this but I think the smile on your face drinking the shots I’m expecting from the Vesuvius should delete any of that curiosity🏃🏃☺️☺️

Meldrew

JahLaza It will be a long learning curve but it will be worth it.
I am like the cat that got the cream. The Elizabeth as you say would have been a keeper but how can one miss an opportunity such as this. Glad that it came together for you.

Stevebee

Get lots of beans in - you are going to need them. I tried loads of variations but ended up with a lever style for light, medium and occasionally dark (ish).

The fact you can tailor the profile for the roast level you prefer is great - and underneath the hood it’s seriously overspecced.

JahLaza

My innocent at this stage plans are to start with shipped lever style profile and go from there.I got the chance to do a little research last night and noticed a lot of great work carried out by @ronsil in another space in another time! I will refer to that maybe but great to hear you have experience @Stevebee I think we may set up a new thread @Meldrew !

hornbyben

JahLaza I don’t have a Vesuvius, but on my modified Silvia I’ve been enjoying the LR3 profile based on a londinium, I normally aim for 35s for the shot:

Ramp to 1 bar over 3s
Ramp to 3 bar over 3s (6s total)
Hold at 3 bar for 11s (17s total)
Ramp to 8.6 bar over 3s (20s total)
Hold at 8.6 bar for 10s (30s total)
Decline to 7.5 bar over 10s (40s total)

If you want to look at some of the decent profiles for inspiration you can download the software from their website and load it onto a computer and look at all the profiles. I’ve played around with a variety of profiles but seemed to have settled on this for the moment.
