We have to admit to being slightly caught out with our Ponte Vecchio machines arriving unexpectedly early from Italy today; we never expected to see them until late next week.
Get in touch if you would like to come and play with either the 1 group ‘Export’ model or the 2 group ‘Lusso’ model.
We’ve only had time to unplug the 2 group Lusso so far, filling it up and pulling a few shots. As both these machines are spring levers it is incredibly easy to get great espresso shortly after getting them out of the box. We are also impressed with the build quality considering the price point that these machines sit at.
The Export is unique in offering a small footprint, a spring lever, and a low price point. The Lusso is unique in bringing you a 2 group machine with an incredibly small footprint at a very reasonable price. We were very pleasantly surprised by how sturdy and rigid the spring levers with no ‘play’ in the mechanism.
The arrival of the Ponte Vecchio gives Londinium Espresso a range of lever machines for every application from the Bacchi, for producing exceptional espresso in low volumes, right through to the monstrous beast that is the 5 group Bosco spring lever commercial machine.
We trust this move underlines our belief in lever espresso machines as being superior to electric pump machines in every regard, from the out and out quality of the espresso produced, through to the reliability and ease of maintenance, all adding up to a greatly reduced total cost of ownership.
Come and try them at your leisure.
