[Like Medium Strong Coffee]

I wish to everyone a Merry Christmas.

I would like to say that in a coffee machine there isn't any magician, the result usually is proportionally to what you put inside and not always the result is optimal. Generally if there are a single boiler hx machines and some more expensive dual boiler a reason should be find in order to spent more money to buy a db machine. I don't want to speak of other machines sometimes buy a machine is an emotional decision more than technical question, everyone have a different approach to the question the most important thing is to enjoy always every cup that someone are able to shot especially in this moment.
enjoy your holidays

Thanks Paolo and team!

Hi,

If my pump asks for water, but the reservoir is empty, the pump keeps on running. It doesn't shut off. Is there no safety stop?

Best, Niels

 

[pinky]

There is.

The middle tube going in has a little ring at the end. If the ring is touching the wall of the reservoir, it can get stuck in the up position and make the machine think there is water.

Weigh down the middle tube with something rust proof or use a piece of harder pipe or straw on the lid hole to force the tube straight down. I initially used an inch long piece of the PVC water supply tubing that comes with the machine, sliced down the length and put around the middle tube where it goes trough the lid.

Thanks Pinky!

I think , I read all the 168 pages and I'm quite impressed. I have two questions. I read about a Vostok (ACS) single group without pump. Any idea, when this will be available ? Is there a address where I can buy the ACS Leva directly ?

Thanks !

Greetings. Due to re-organisation, all ACS Vesuvius Evo Leva questions are best directed to the thread on a different forum

https://*********************.com/d/10-acs-vesuvius-evo-leva/404

I am sure your questions will be answered there

 

[AlanBean]

I'll post the feedback in here incase incase it can help anyone else

Hi,

Although I'm not sure whether to spend as much over a Pavoni, but Im considering a new lever in the future. I know this is a very new machine that may have had teething problems in the first builds, but did you get the noise sorted to your satisfaction?

 

[4085]

@AlanBean All Evo owners are on this forum now matey......

[AlanBean]

No problem.

I'll stay here thanks. Everyone seems helpful.

What I don't understand is why the new owners are permitting the blatant advertising of another forum on this forum.

I also find it strange having read back though other comments that dfk41 is still posting here and not anomolised as he advised other people to do. Must be something about here that keeps home coming back.

Yeah. Looks like the new owners are not doing a great job filtering spam either, I see a lot of completely unrelated nonsense.

as for advertising other forums, we always linked stuff to other forums here: home barista, coffee geek, etc.

for example, LSOL is now on: https://www.****************

i don't see a problem with that. It moved somewhere else, it's only fair for people to know. Members can choose where to go, as they please, IMO. No harm.

There is a difference between quoting a link, which you have done and the blatant farming of people that is going on in both peoples signatures and avatars. It just looks like poaching for another forum.

I appreciate that this forum has fractured and that the new owners probably don't care about what goes on, but some members still like to be here so why not just leave things alone.

I have noticed though that you are particularly helpful so apologies for the rant it's not aimed at you.

Hello everyone, after a long happy period of time using Evo. For some time I hear a noise(puff) from steam boiler every 30-40 seconds, when temperature is over boiling pressure. Any ideas? Thx

@Ciprian75 - Dave hangs on his own forum now, and might be able to help you. Have you taken the covers off and see if you can spot any steam leaks or anything like that?

 

[iroko]

@Ciprian75 As above, take off the top and look for where any steam is leaking from. Hopefully you just need to tighten something up.

That's the 2 bar safety valve releasing pressure you're hearing, a quick Google seems to indicate 130C is around 2 bar so presumably the valve is working correctly and releasing pressure which slowly builds up a drop of water that then hits the top of the boiler and quickly evaporates, hence the little puff you're hearing.

Here's a super exciting video of it happening:

As to why it's happening only now? That I can't explain, hopefully you just increased the temperature recently?

Actually scratch that, it is supposed to be a 2.5 bar safety valve, so I guess that means either the valve isn't working correctly or the temperature is under-reported.
