The Best Hybrid Lever?: ACS Vostok Review

Check out the free trial with my link www.standartmag.com/lance ! Now, let me clear something up! Yes, I referred to this as a dipper style machine. Is that correct with modern accepted taxonomy? No. Does it dip in the same way? No. Does it dip? Yes. The dipper spout is located in brew boiler rather than the steam/service boiler. This is also different from the saturated group like on the Leva. Some have opted to call it "hybrid lever," but I opted to use "dipper" as it was a helpful term for me to visualize similarities between this and the classic dipper. Shoutout the Jake G on H-B and EAF for the breakdown that follows: "You have two major groupings: Boiler (Steam Pressure) Fed Mains or Pump Fed (HX or DB) Within group 1, you have the following machine types: Dipper: -Bosco, Pro 800, Clubs, etc Thermosyphon: -Lambro, Londinium L1, etc Saturated: -Faemina, etc And within group 2: Direct HX: -VA Athena, Lapera, LSM Inderect HX: -Bezzera Strega Thermosyphon HX: -Londinium Compressa/R/R24 Double Boiler Saturated: -LM Leva X, KVdW Slim Jim Double Boiler Dipper: -ACS Vostock/Evo Leva, Nurri Leva, Curtis' Double Dipper" Sourced from here: https://www.home-barista.com/levers/spring-lever-espresso-machine-types-defined-t84568-20.html LINKS __________________ Join my Patreon community at: https://www.patreon.com/lancehedrick Find me on IG at: https://www.instagram.com/lancehedrick Find me on Facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/lancehedrickcoffee My storefront: https://www.amazon.com/shop/lancehedrick My SECOND Channel: Lance Hedrick Unfiltered https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvNpZQzurSNZQ8e2QNGNXsA __________________ TIME CUES: 0:00- Overview 1:04- Is Bigger Best? 2:29- Lever Styles 3:42- Standart Magazine 4:50- Temperature Capabilities 5:34- Modded LSM Clone (TOF) 8:38- Safety System & Bypass 9:50- Preinfusion 11:31- Electrical Valve 13:06- Menu 15:55- Charcoal Shot 17:03- Milk Steaming 17:58- The Cons; Or, Why are driptrays so hard? 20:39- Comparisons and Concluding Thoughts
