L-compact

Erik De Wilde

Just read in News there will be a new Londinium named Compac;
what kind off machine that will be?
A lever?
Smaller than L-R?
Just ordered a L-R but what was my choice if the C was there around?

hi erik

it will be a lever machine - londinium is focused on lever espresso

it is an in house designed spring lever group, dipper fed with a PID, tank fed with a piston pump to load the water into boiler (i.e. to over come the internal pressure in the boiler) and as small and inexpensive as we can make it - in no way a competitor to the LR

it is at least 12 months away - it is a lot of work

reiss.

Thks for explanation!
Smaller boiler and smaller group requires other item to get stable temp.
Also springer-lever.
Digger: have to find out what it is.
(I'm comming from pure hand-levers)

Reiss Gunson

not really. something for Q418 (the last quarter of this year). it will be the first all new spring lever group in how many decades?

So October? You will not be able to release more information or pictures of this model until then?
