Ross, I'm thrilled to see this in action as I think this design feature is nothing short of genius. It's the strongest reason for my interest in this machine. I think the buzz around the Argos has really underplayed what you've done here. Along with the price and other amazing design features I think this machine will revolutionize the lever world. Absolutely can't wait so see this on my coffee bar.
The spring / manual switch will be the main appeal of this machine I think. The idea of being able to have a machine where I can play around or throw the spring in and know it'll pull a decent shot really draws me.
Can’t wait for reviews to come out, planning to order once I see it in action. Were there any Supply Chain Gods on Mount Olympus? Hope Odyssey didn’t upset any of them 😂
It is _an_ Odyssey. An epic traveller’s story. I am sure that drama covers Ross’s experience getting this machine both designed, built and manufactured :)
Ross, quick question: if one buys the extra lever unit, it seems to me that 00:00 to 00:30 **and** 02:30 to 04:08 are still necessary to change the unit. Meaning, purchasing the extra lever unit save two minutes of the 4+ min the video shows this swap takes. In particular, it looks like the 2:30 to 3:25 (55 second) segment is working the o-rings back into place. Can you confirm if my understanding is correct? If not, does the extra unit come with the entire sleeve, so one just has to swap the entire outer casing taking much less time? Can you film another video that shows the swap with extra lever unit? Thanks-excited to get my unit in April! (I’ll ask again about direct plumbing and ideally direct drainage line(s) while I’m here, as I’m interested in that if possible. I’d have an RO unit I’d be feeding to mine and a drain as well, so curious what the status is there too-thanks again!)
Production models will have a chamfered piston bore which will act as a "funnel" for inserting the piston assembly and not require seals to be compressed as shown in the video. More videos will be posted on this process as production parts arrive.
Considering the Argos is 15lb are there any issues with the machine tipping over (especially at 8bar of pressure) with the spring lever? From what I’ve been told the Olympia Cremina Spring Lever maxes out at 6bar to prevent tip over and that machine is 25lbs
There is certainly some technique to avoid tipping but I have pulled up to a 14 bar shot in direct. Will have plenty of videos showing shot pulls in the future.

Super excited about this. Would have loved to see some shots + BRoll
2 Levers in one, I'm sold!!!
Simply genius! 👌😍

@@odysseyespresso smart idea!
As the spring is not pre-pressed much when installed, what is the declining pressure during a shot? For example, 8 bar -> 2 bar?
I will post data on the spring pressure profiles soon
Nice! (If it had been possible to hear the work instead of the music, i would have wanted that ;-) )
good to know for next time.
too much swearing every time he dropped a screw :p
Nice!
Hello What is the volume of the water heater? Does the brew group get hot enough? Have you measured the temperature on the brew group?
Interesting
Where is the joy? and how will you control the erasure without nanometer? This machine is a nice Gimmick
You can get either a Bluetooth sensor or a standard analog gauge to control pressure as you pull the shot.
👍🏼👍🏼
Hmm I‘m, to be honest, not sure about the looseness of the lever in the mounting. It’s much thinner than the mounting and wobbles around 😬
Yes, this is discussed in the video description. Production units have bushings.
