With the R24 now shipping with a thermistor to regulate the boiler all of our product range is now in its final form with no changes planned

The thermistor makes no difference to the taste of the espresso in the cup; with the 30A Sirai the range in group temperature in response to the cycle of the pressure switch when the machine is at idle is just 0.1C

Instead it eliminates the mechanical click of the pressure switch, which some users find annoying, and it frees up a lot of space inside the casing so the machine is much easier to work on, and it removes 700g of weight

With the customer portal now allowing us to manage a much greater number of customer contacts each day we only have two significant projects remaining for 2021

The first is a long overdue upgrade to how the website is presented on mobile devices, which i know has frustrated a large number of users for a long time

While this remains an urgent priority, we are waiting for the person who is responsible for this to have time to address it

The other project is the release of the compact lever machine, which remains on target to deliver a final sample for pre-production testing and sign off in june
