    Thanks for the video. I've had the Victoria for a few years and it's simple outstanding. Your bar pressure is way too high. Set it to 8.5-9.0 and temperature to 200. Dose 19-20 grams in the double basket and you will see why it's likely the best single boiler, vibration pump machine on the market, and probably better than many rotary pump machines with less fuss. The key is the design of having the boiler directly over the brew head which give perfect temperature stability....Enjoy!

      Not sure you can Set bar pressure that is determined by the GRIND ( fine or coarser). He had it in the green which is good enough. Also Is that 200 on the machine Fahrenheit or celsius? I'm wondering what the machine is set to C or F? and if its C, and you need to be at 200F, does that mean it must be set at 93 C?

    I own a Victoria for about 2 weeks, have had this problem happen 3x since using every day. While I am steaming for only about 25 seconds (to get a thicker microfoam), the pump will turn on to add water to the boiler every approximate 10-12 seconds (which I'm told this is perfectly normal)- then......the PID went back to my brewing temp. of 202° while steaming. Steaming is at 275°. I'm hoping there isn't something wrong with this unit.

  • @SparkOfThoth
    @SparkOfThoth 2 роки тому

    For my taste and logically thinking it was not long extraction. As different machines use different spec pumps and builds pressure within different times and especially with pre-infusion we could end up with totally different times etc. I know that within around 20-30 seconds we should get 2x-2.2x amount of extracted liquid/espresso. So from 16g of coffe - around 32 - 35,2 g of espresso). But what I found interesting is that Lelit Victoria is building pressure slowly in comparison to other machines and pressure is higher than 9 bars straight from factory. What does it means?
    For first - higher pressure means liquid will be pushed through coffee with higher force =faster that with 9 bars. We can check this with plant spraying equipment - higher pressure more water comes out within same time.
    For second we should not actually count extraction time from pressing button especially when got pre-infusion (but Lelit time will not count it anyway). And another thing is that it takes some time to build max pressure - for me even 3-4 seconds O_o. And sometimes after this working pressure is reached I need to wait 3-5 seconds to see first drop (with pre-infusion on) but when I start counting after first drop it goes normally so within 23-26 seconds I got 2x-2,2x extraction. With different coffee blend I got that I got first drop immediately when pressure is reached with same flow rate 23-26seconds 2x-2.2x extraction. So everything can vary here and to be on safe side I believe is to kind of play with times within one particular blend of coffee to get best results. write it down and use it all the time. And who cares its longer or shorter, if it taste supreme (if we can say this in terms of espresso anyway). I prefer to drink cortado or latte/cappuccino, but drink shots from time to time if in hurry... but always try a sip of extracted coffee and to check if its dialed in correctly to my particular taste. I'm still learning, but what I believe is most important for someone who bought machine to make coffee himself is to find his own perfect recipe for best tasting espresso that hits their favored flavor... and not to try to hit some other people timings etc. At least I believe so...

    Hello Stefanus, nice and interesting video! I'm an owner of a Victoria, I was for some time thinking to buy the Mara X. But I make only espresso and I decided to get the Victoria. I updated with IMS filter baskets and the IMS shower screen, the espresso is very good. I'm using the original Lelit tamper 58.55mm, a leveller and I also use the trick from Sprometheus to put a piece of paper on top of the puck to avoid channelling. My Victoria tends to make 4 little holes in the puck, using the paper this will not happen. As you have the Mara X also, I'm wondering about your opinion. How much better is the espresso with the Mara X with the legendary E61 group head? Or are they close only considering espresso brewing?

    • @StefanusGoana
      @StefanusGoana  4 роки тому +1

      Hi Hans, i guess this means your water flow to fast from grouphead and maybe your grind setting a little too coarse. What you can do is make finer grind setting and use pre infusion mode in Victoria.
      If your local dealer can help you reduce water flow would be great.
      In Victoria you have to make sure that your grouphead is really ready, i know LCC shows OK really fast but grouphead may not be ready. One way is to buy a strip temperature sticker. You can check my instagram: amateur_coffee_enthusiast to see the exact sticker i'm talking about

The extraction time is between 25s and 30s for 30ml of espresso and preinfusion is active, but there are often this 4 holes, maybe they aren't normally going through the puck, it's then an uneven surface of the puck, but clearly the extraction is uneven then. The "holes" are located next to 4 of the 8 water exits from the shower. I read about this effect also from other users. I will check if using 30s or more reduces the effect. Thank you a lot for your suggestions. Br Hans

      @@Bergkette Thanks. I took a look at the video. While the use of a filter can certainly lead to slowing down extraction, even shots, and stronger shots. I'm not sure for me it's worth messing around with. Look at the stats on that video. ---- 9.49 TDS with no filter. Then with filters whether below, both, top it was higher but not by much. Yes, it will be higher with a filter as a filter slows extraction which leads to slightly stronger coffee but is the AVERAGE Joe going to notice that tiny fraction? Also, now you have to factor filters into your pricing per shot, and time messing around with cutting them. I could understand using filters if the percentage was huge like 5.0 TDS with no filter and 10 TDS with a filter. But we are talking about a 0.40 difference with one filter or 0.50 difference with two filters (top and bottom). I don’t see the value in that nor do I think the average joe will even notice that. In my mind again, this is where using the pressure gauge and playing around with different GRIND settings can improve extraction. If the espresso is too weak, chances are the grind is too coarse and too much water is getting through too fast ( leading to channeling and weaker coffee). Adjust your grind, play around with tamping and you may not have to use a paper filter. Now having said that, maybe the victoria machine is causing channeling issues and the grind and tamping is fine. In which case filters would be useful. But it's a sad fix for an expensive machine that shouldn't require them. But each to their own method. Thanks for sharing that video.

    I have a Gaggia Classic & notice when you purge the water out of the steam tube with the Victoria, the water seems to take a long time to come out before turning to just steam. With my Classic, I only have to purge for a couple seconds before it turns to steam. Am I imagining it taking a long time with the Victoria?

    • @KimMoonbmwmoonie
      @KimMoonbmwmoonie 3 роки тому

      i am going to guess its because the Gaggia has a smaller boiler than the Victoria so it heats up faster.

      @@KimMoonbmwmoonie Time will tell. I will have this new Victoria tomorrow. I wish I would have watched your video closer before ordering--as it seemed like it took forever for the water to be purged out of the steam tube. My Gaggia (despite the downfalls) would take about 2 seconds to purge water out of the tube. Then it was ALL steam. I think by watching your video--it eventually turned to all steam? At least I hope it does because if it doesn't, then it is adding water into the milk....which then adds water ultimately into the espresso which is a watered down yuck. Thanks.

    I am coming from a gaggia classic and want to upgrade to lelit, would the Anna 2 be suitable upgrade? I don’t know which is their entry level (above the features of the gaggia classic)? Is the Victoria above the Anna 2 in performance? Sorry for stupid questions

    • @StefanusGoana
      @StefanusGoana  3 роки тому +1

      Hi Aziz, there no stupid question. For upgrade i think depends on your budget. For Anna 2 i don't really see much upgrade and it is 57mm grouphead, could be a little down grade hahaha... but anna comes with additional pressure gauge.
      Victoria is a big upgrade with all the features and more powerful steam, however still single boiler you have switch and wait between coffee brewing and steaming.
      If you can stretch your budget a little more then go for MaraX or Elizabeth for maximum comfort and speed in preparing coffee.

    • @AzizIzgin

      @@StefanusGoana Thanks for you answer, the upgrade for me would be that the anna 2 has a PID so I don't have to guess the temperature. Also I don't mind waiting for changing between shots and steam, when the routine is there it is ok :) . I mostly drink myself but occasionally my wife wants a latte... From what I have read is that the 57mm is not a standard and that it is harder to find parts for it. But those who have that in mind also think ahead a couple of years and think of upgrading later on... meaning they think of it being harder to sell the portafilter etc since it not being a standard... but for me I won't be upgrading. I just want a solid machine that will last and is consistent with the shots and steam.
      one more reason why I want to change machine is the aluminium boiler in the gaggia due to risk of health reasons...again.. maybe silly but this is not something I constantly want to think of when enjoying my coffee

    Hi
    I have now gone from thinking about buying the Anna 2 to the grace and now to the Victoria 😂😂
    Question, there are so many reviews and videos of these machines, which is the most recent version of the Victoria, and is it still good single boiler machine? If you would chose again today between other machines, would still choose this machine?
    I just bought the specialita online and am waiting for it to arrive:) maybe I was too much in a hurry... I already own a pl043 lelit grinder. I could have tried with the one I have before I went off buying another expensive grinder ...

Clivecoffee.com said they don't do 3rd party modifications (AKA mods). I wrote back and asked what they meant because it's not a 3rd party upgrade. The pump is made by Lelit so what's the issue? I told them of course I'd pay for the pump and the labor to do it. 1stlineequipment.com didn't even bother to give an excuse. Can you believe it? I'm talking with a vendor closer to where I live now who doesn't carry Lelit about whether they can maybe get one for me. @stefanusgoana would your shop do a pump upgrade?

    Hi, so how did you fix the rattling tray? Just put some small rubber pucks underneath the grid?

    • @StefanusGoana
      @StefanusGoana  3 роки тому

      Hi i did not try to fix the rattling tray, there is already small rubber placed from factory. I think source of the problem is the vibration pump

    • @negligiblethreat
      @negligiblethreat 3 роки тому

      @@StefanusGoana Hmm, I guess it would be the vibration of the pump in combination with the relative light weight of the tray and the grid, then.
      My old Rancilio Silvia, like most home machines, has a vibration pump, too.
      But the Silvia has a heavy build in comparison with little Vicky here, weighhing about 14 kg. It's noisy as well, but the tray doesn't rattle.
      To be clear: Did Lelit just put rubber underneath the tray, or did they put bits of thin rubber tubing on the grid, too, where it rests on the tray? This might help additionally.
      It's a bit like with stereo speakers, I guess: They'll rattle if you put them on a sideboard without rubber pucks between sideboard and speaker, even if the feet of the sideboard are buffered.
      I think in some forum or review, somebody mentioned adding rubber tubing to the grid, fixing the problem.
      I guess an additional simple fix might be just to put something heavy (or just your hand) on the grid when starting the pump.
      I heard of some users complaining about the general level of noise Vicky makes. Some of the more tech savvy among them suggested or tried adding a pulsor to the pump, like the Mara X has. The Mara is a really silent machine, friends of mine own it and I was baffled that it doesn't even disturb a conversation while it's running!
      Then, I think some people mentioned that there isn't really enough space in the Victoria to fit the pulsor, or the pump is too hard to access to actually fit it, or something like that.
      I guess I wouldn't go that far, anyway, and rather just put a hand against the side of the machine while it's running...

      I live in Germany, so I might check whether the upgrade option exists here. I guess so, as some licensed German Lelit re-sellers offer service on a Lelit, and replacement of parts like the pump should be easy for them. The LCC would be exactly be the thing motivating me to replace my trusty old Silvia with smart little Vicky.
      My Silvia is a V1, so: No pump upgrade in there, definitely. And it IS a really noisy machine, but the heavy build keeps the tray from rattling.
