ACS Vesuvius Evo Leva
Review:
ACS, an Italian company under M & V s.r.l., has been a leading brand in the food machinery industry for generations, and has been producing professional espresso machines for 10 years. The model we were provided for review features an impressive lever on a group similar to that of San Marco, with a 54 mm filter and two side wands, one for steam and the other for hot water. The lever system is supported by a pump for pre-infusion and three PID controls: one for the group head, one for the brewing boiler, and one for the steam boiler. What stands out the most about the Vesuvius is its quick start-up time, taking only 8 minutes for the water and steam boiler to reach temperature and 15 minutes for the group head. These quick heating times make the ACS ideal for domestic use, as there is no need to keep the machine running all day and wasting electricity. Perfect for home or professional use.
