Description
The Vectis is our very best work, the first LONDINIUM lever machine with a proprietary group and you can taste the benefit of this investment in your very first cup

The all new 58mm lead free brass spring lever group allows us to give you exceptional sweetness and flavour separation that groups smaller than 58mm can't achieve, and a simplicity of service that has to be experienced to be believed with a group that you can fully disassemble on your kitchen bench in less than 5 minutes

A dry weight of 20Kg (44lb) on a purpose built chassis so you don't have to hold onto the machine to stop it tipping, and just 20cm wide

Piston, boiler, and all panels are stainless steel

Consecutive shots or leaving the machine on for hours will not overheat this group

A proper drip tray with a best in class capacity, rather than the usual saucer capacity

Solid wenge hardwood handles, exactly the same as found on all our other models.  Providing you don't put them in the dishwasher, they will last for years - we have proven this on our other models over 13 years

A warm-up time of 20 minutes

Height to the top of the lever is 65cm

Vectis brings you the ability to self-service your machine with our free video call support, and an extensive library of detailed high-definition service videos, which is a significant benefit unless you have an espresso machine technician nearby and enjoy lugging your machine around town

The very few parts you may need from time to time we will get to you in less than a week, anywhere in the world

No back-flushing. Just pull & go

Texture the milk in seconds with our perfectly designed four-hole tip as the brew chamber is isolated from the boiler the moment the lever is released (this is why a dual boiler is of no advantage on a lever espresso machine). The commercial steam valve is identical to the one we use on all our other machines, absolutely peerless in this class of machine

Pair the Vectis with a good grinder and beans and excellent espresso is assured

The Vectis is supplied with one solid African wenge hardwood-handled portafilter, one 16g dose portafilter basket, and factory fitted no grease piston seals

One on one live video training is included (30 minutes)

LONDINIUM.  Exceptional espresso
-------

This is the espresso machine influenceur du moment, Lance Hedrick and his band of merry men tried to bury because it is highly disruptive

If you can demonstrate that you own an Olympia Cremina and you buy a Vectis and you dont think the Vectis is better built, easier to service, makes better espresso, textures the milk better, with better after sales support, you can return it to us within 30 days for a full refund, no questions asked

Vectis: twice as good, half the price
