Barista-worthy beverages can be made right in your kitchen with the S1 Vivaldi Professional Home Espresso machine. Its sleek, compact design sits just 15" high, making it easy to tuck away on your countertops, but it's such an attractive appliance you may just want to make this best-seller a centerpiece. This machine even took home the CoffeeGeek Editor's Choice Award for Best New Product in 2006. The VII was conceived for light commercial and home use.
The top cover has been redesigned to eliminate the Plexi cup guard. The new top is much more user friendly; the cup guard could easily break, leaving a gap around the edges. This also lowers the overall height of the machine to just 15". The portafilters that come with the machine have also been redesigned. The machine comes standard with the famous 4 holes 0.9 mm steam tip.
All machines have the capability to program Passive Pre Infusion anywhere from 1 to 8 seconds. This is the same type of pre-infusion used on some of the most expensive machines on the market. It differs from pre-infusion on an E61 machine in so much as you control the time of the pre-infusion as well as the amount of water you pre-infuse with. You have no control of the pre-infusion on an E61 Group. You can set this for what works best for you and your coffee. Once you set it where you like it, there is nothing you have to do except press the button to start the brew cycle.
This allows you to set the LED temperature setting on the front of the machine to be equal to the temperature being delivered at the group rather than the temperature inside the group boiler. Note: We set it during the bench test of each machine prior to shipping so you don't have to invest in the expensive equipment necessary to perform the tests and setting.
It is no longer necessary to purchase a portafilter with a pressure gauge to either check or make adjustments to your pump's output pressure.
The Vivaldi II Now comes equipped with the NEW 0.9 mm four hole steam tip as standard: This NEW 0.9 mm four hole steam tip on this machine is one of the easiest to produce excellent micro foam fast and easy even with small quantities of milk.
What does that mean? The previous model would need to detect a temperature drop of one degree Celsius before the heater would be activated. The NEW Vivaldi II activates the heater with the detection of a temperature drop of just one half degree Celsius. Simply put, it makes the temperature accuracy that much more precise in the group boiler and enhances the steam boilers' performance.
The new probe is actually submerged directly into the boilers. This probe has proven to be more reliable than the previous style and has a quicker reaction time.
The previous display showed 5-degree increments, from 85 to 120 degrees Celsius. The NEW Vivaldi II displays in 1-degree increments, from 91 to 97 degrees Celsius.
The S1 Vivaldi II can only be used in 15 amp mode but will continue to have a 20 amp plug on the machine, so a converter cord will be included with all Vivaldi machines.
As of December 2021, the Vivaldi now has bluetooth connectivity built into the software.
