   Coming within 48hr (I hope): our comprehensive First Look at the Lelit Victoria Espresso Machine. 4700 words. Tons of photos. Details in the minutia for those who love that kind of thing.

   And I use a phrase I think is perhaps not politically correct any longer? ("red headed stepchild).

   Here's the conclusion, and some of our article photos.

     @coffeegeek Nice! At a quick look Lelit Victoria seems very similar in size and function to the Zuriga E-S2

     @ujay68 Yes, mine would have to be the original design. Which is plenty good already!

     The incremental improvements of the redesign all make sense. But the that effort started from a base that was already very high.

     For example, the Barista World Championship approved temperature tolerances? Sure, great. But if my older model has slightly higher deviations, I have yet to notice them.

     Even the old model is a wonderful machine.

     @slothrop They did kind of a re-design of the machine’s insides a while ago, but I don’t know exactly when. So when yours is about two years old, it’s probably the original design? (Blog post in German: https://zuriga.com/Journal/News/ein-blick-ins-innere-der-neuen-zuriga-e2)
