…who thought the idrocompresso (d. 31.7.15) was the last word in lever espresso machines, the facts suggest otherwise
it ran cold at idle, and this is specifically mentioned in the owner’s manual
to counter this they went off and developed a very nice volumetric pump that delivered a measured 60mL of water from the boiler to raise the group temp when the idrocompresso had been sitting idle – you can see it as an extra cost option list in the sales brochure
to all the idrocompresso fan boys – if you had tried a LONDINIUM before you made your proclaimations you would have discovered that LONDINIUM is a better engineered machine and delivers a better taste in the cup as a result, instead of making unsupported statements which can only be explained as fanatical behaviour, unencumbered by reality
at just twice the cost of an L2 or L3 you also received a Mater pressure switch in your idrocompresso as thats all they had room for after they had bolted on all the bling; a classic case of form over function im afraid. all LONDINIUM machines use a Sirai pressure switch, which is the industry standard in commercial espresso machines and has been for decades. at LONDINIUM we build lever espresso machines where the engineering is given priority
at LONDINIUM we give you the ultimate lever espresso machine at a single global price, wherever you live in the world. we do not play games with country or regional pricing, and offer exceptional value for money and free long term after sales support

if you are after a lever espresso machine consider LONDINIUM for lever espresso is all we do
