  • Endo: I have a strange problem that the timer works without coffee but does not work with. In other words, I have set the two-cup timer for 28 seconds and it shuts off as expected with no coffee in the portafilter but with coffee in the filter it does not shut off. Strange.

  • @dsly100

    The machine does not have a shot timer. It uses a flowmeter to control shot volume. Simply set your machine to give 1.5 oz of espresso in 30 seconds WITH COFFEE (not only water). Or better yet, set it to give 4 oz and cut off the shot manually (when it goes blond).

  • Hello!

    I just bought this machine and it looks great! However I am having troubles with the initial set up of the machine. Could you post a video on how to make the machine run like this and not stuck on standby. Also I have very hard water would you suggest to use distilled water instead? Thanks

  • @almostkid911

    Push on/off for 4 second to turn it on. No distilled water. It has no taste and will rust your machine. Use the reservoir softener or 50/50 tap and RO water.

    You can get more help at s1cafe.com.

  • what excatly are you doing before you tamp?

  • @jrcbago

    It's a quick "nutation" tamp, used to distribute the grounds. It's usually done more slowly and with more pressure. It helps a lot to avoid channelling, especially when using smaller diameter baskets like on the Vivaldi.

  • I love that steaming lever switch.

  • Thanks. Yes, I got my machine from Cafe Union. One year later and I'm still waiting for them to stock a replacement resevoir filter. After sale support could be better.

  • you in montreal? nice to see a video from there!

    did you get the vivaldi from cafe union?

    nice latte art skills ;)

  • The Duetto II has a few advantages over the Vivaldi like the PID and 58mm PF. Still, I don't expect there is a huge difference between the 2 machines. In the end, I just preferred less chrome and went with the Vivaldi.
