Don’t buy a VA machine. All E1 Prima machines are currently disabled by the company via the app that is required for usage of many features. Customer service is unresponsive. No company should be able to disable a machine remotely any time they want. The machine was also plagued with issues like having to replace multiple fuses within the first year and dead batteries and leaks. Stay away from Victoria Arduino/Simonelli if you don’t want to pay exorbitant prices for beta test machines.
You better read your emails and do not mislead others. VA sent official messages about technical works on E1/E1 Prima Apps. Due new features in products (VIS on E1 and PureBrew on E1 Prima EXP) VA is expanding functionality of apps. Be more polite and carefully, especially with disrespecting by unproved/unverified info.
@@DaniilHardcoreRWTF He's not entirely wrong. VA did shut down the app before notifying current E1P owners and, while the machine wasn't disabled, we did lose a lot of features like the ability to adjust dosages, steam wand pressure, custom preset recipes, the ability to check bar pressure, etc. It was an extremely poor move on VA's part and was compounded by the fact that the E1P was plagued with manufacturing issues that had many buyers receiving faulty products. It's been a hell of ride for E1P owners over the last two years and Simonelli/VA have not been transparent or communicative about the problems the E1P has faced, leaving owners feeling frustrated an abandoned. Hopefully they will do better moving forward.
@@harlothompson well, I received this news from mine roastery technician, he received message from VA, before 2 days of APP shutdown, and I just screen mine settings, and that’s all. All of global features I was able and still can adjust. Yes, there is a true fact that some features are unable. But they are so minor, it’s not equal for shitposting like upper comment.
@@harlothompson after I saw this dude posting I surf the internet and was amazed. So few minutes ago I wrote a post on Reddit comments for those who didn’t know about. You’re welcome. Once more time: I’m just for justice and tolerance. Some men can’t even search and study for equipment working, but so loud, that’s a shame. If you don’t get it how it works - use your brain to understanding, cause it’s your problem, and there is no need to mislead others with your problems. Peace.
@@harlothompsonwhile I'm not at all familiar with these specific details I have to say that even as a software engineer, I'm concerned when I see espresso machines that require the app for *any* critical features. I've even seen espresso machine apps that require users to login - why? The typical incentive and justification is that software can be improved to add features or fix issues in the future but it's a double-edged sword. There's no guarantee that software will continue to work with future OS updates and be supported by a company for multiple years in the future.
Great video, if i was interested in pointless graphics and people doing not very much. Do you have any others that include the machine?
So same machine but with a pour over attachment?
Flow control would’ve made more sense
I guess all the fuss now about pre-infusion etc, theres going to be more common ground between the styles.
Is this machine available in North America
