It doesn't take long to heat up and get to pressure. This will ensure that your boiler is neither under nor overfilled. First, make sure that you can see the meniscus (that bottom line at the top of your water) in the sight glass. Even semi-autos have their nuances, though not nearly as many. If you're new to manuals, do not expect to pull amazing shots right away. But fear not: simple but tedious pressurestat adjustments are a quick Google/YouTube search away (butter knife and small ratchet with phillips and flat head bits to get the job done not included).īrewing with this bad boy requires a ton of patience. Disclaimer: the manual does not tell the user how to adjust the pressurestat if you find that your machine is not in the right zone out of the box, or if you really want to fine-tune your extraction. Assembly was pretty straightforward, and the owner's manual gives you just enough information to get started. Everything came out looking shiny and beautiful with no damage. Now for the good: Everything was well-packaged in molded styrofoam to minimize the chance of impact damage. If you don't have one already, save yourself the extra wait and get yourself a nice, heavy 49mm tamper when you buy this (I got a solid stainless tamper by Silmur and it's perfect) and throw the plastic one into the trash upon arrival. I'll start with the most disappointing thing for anyone who reads this: The tamper this machine comes with is a cheap, flimsy, plastic 48mm disc that doesn't even cover the surface area of your 49mm portafilter. It takes a lot of time getting dialed in right to produce a good shot, and I am still working on my technique, though it has improved greatly in the past few weeks that I've had this machine. I love the sheer amount of control that I have over my shots, from the pressure the machine brews at to the amount of water that goes into the shot (more so with a double), pre-infusion time, and flow of the steam coming out of the wand. From the app, users can set temperature and espresso or PureBrew extraction times, program steam and hot water, check the performance of the machine, check cleaning settings and set energy saving.This is my first manual espresso machine after starting with a cheap full auto and later upgrading to a semi-auto BES870XL. Users can connect the app to the coffee machine and the system immediately recognises the model being used (E1 Prima or E1 Prima EXP), to offer a navigating experience and easy recipe setting. The Victoria Arduino E1 Prima app doubles its functions. Steam-by-Wire steam is electronically controlled by ergonomically designed levers, making them easy to use. With the compact boilers, in stainless steel and insulated, Victoria Arduino has obtained higher pressures that enable high production of dry steam with a power/speed ratio that is much higher and better quality. Prima is therefore ready to prepare coffee in just eight minutes. The dimensions of the boilers are significantly reduced and are coated in an insulating material that prevents energy loss. Thanks to this technology, Prima can heat water quickly, guarantee high performance and still increase energy efficiency. NEO uses instant warming technology that requires smaller volumes of water and therefore smaller boilers, as it only heats the water that is needed. This technology, combined with a new patented dual wall conical filter, makes it possible to offer a new way of experiencing and tasting coffee.Į1 Prima EXP also incorporates New Engine Optimization (NEO) technology that represents an innovative approach to water heating for coffee extraction with reduced energy consumption. Users can replace the espresso portafilter with the PureBrew filter and change the extraction mode to enjoy different recipes. PureBrew is a three phase extraction method that uses pulsating frequencies of water pressure to release the purest flavour from the coffee bean according to its freshness, region, and type. The new single group from Victoria Arduino is being added to the model that was launched in 2020 and offers the extra feature of being able to extract PureBrew. Victoria Arduino is extending its E1 Prima range with E1 Prima EXP.
