Shots produced with an Idrocompresso group are virtually always good - to excellent. Lever groups are very forgiving, offering several combined technical advantages for a superior extraction. The old-style lever groups do however, possess some annoying characteristics that negatively influence the workflow. With the development of the Slim Jim Idrcompresso we solved the drawbacks and high-lighted its magnificent virtues.
In this video Oli Bradshaw, who's a coffee professional and long-time friend of the company, pulls some shots with the Slim Jim Idrocompresso. We’ll take you along in the process of how to use the Idrocompresso: explaining its magnificent features, really “pulling” shots and showing that any barista can work quickly and efficiently on the Slim Jim Idrocompresso, whilst a theatrical barista show is guaranteed.

Kees van der Westen sits at the apex of espresso machine art. The problem is that many of us will never have one. Yes, the expense is one thing but if espresso is your passion there is a way. The problem is that many of us live in rental apartments and houses and are not allowed to plumb in espresso machines. We must use water reservoirs, which are usually made from plastic. This is why, for the home barista, the Olympia Cremina is still King. If Kees van der Westen made a single group Slim Jim Indrocompresso with an optional ceramic or borosilicate glass water reservoir, it would be a game changer for many of us. Better yet, I would love to see a lever on a Speedster. It's just 11 days before before Christmas. I've still got time to hop on the subway, go to Macy's, and see Santa.... I've been good this year.

I can confirm after several months of use as a very lucky home user, it is a joy and produces amazing and consistent results. I have a 2 group and pair each group with a different single dose grinder/burr type so I can optimise for the bean. The group temp set (it changes and stabilises so fast in the head), stability and sub 5 min warm up from eco is a game changer for me with a lever to manage light roasted and highly processed coffee effectively and get the best out of espresso. The cut off is also perfect for me as I drink ristretto so I always had to pull the shot and wait. Of course yes it is not cheap but it will outlast me!

All he said, I totally agree and am positive; we have had this model for three months now; we used this model of Slim Jim three weeks ago in a four days event with two group heads, under 98C we pulled almost 900 full 1:2 ratio espresso shots, pre-set and semi-manual, every single image is set as we want for the output, all automated build is 100% reliable. I can make an endorsement with the quality build.

Hm. Applying a curve to your electric pump doesn't sound hard to do. It would give more consistent results. You could even edit the curve with a smartphone...

Any plans for a single group version of this machine? Thank you!

Yes but people buy the lever machines preciselly because they want to have manual control over the lever and the pressure profile of their extractions. Doesn't the locking feature negate exactly that characteristic? When the release lever is pulled the group head lever returns in its position very fast to alllow any diversification of pressure in the final stage of the extraction.

This is the first machine I have ever seen with zero compromises. I'd even pair it with the Mahlkonig GBW grinder used here as my dream setup for a coffee shop.

dit was voor mij liefde op het eerste gezicht ondanks mijn begin in de barista wereld. ik hou van de oldskool en dat is waarom deze machine niet uit mijn hoofd gaat als ideale machine. ouderwetse manier met moderne techniek!

Hi Oli, I fitted one of the first Slim Jim idrocompressos in the UK in my customer’s kitchen on the hottest day of the year.and celebrated with the most perfect espresso I’ve ever had. I’ve always loved the Idrocompresso but this is the ultimate.

Excellent!! But for next version I need one more feature: auto-flush (finish) shot at a certain timing or volume (weight) pre-defined for each group.

Wow if only they made a single lever machine for home ! Currently my grail machine in the Olympia Cremina but if there is a single version of this machine than my grail may possibly change.
