V12man Posted August 6, 2015 Share You guys are making me want to scratch an itch I don't have! That Isomac is a beautiful machine indeed. Happy with my Oscar, but maybe it's time for something else... Had it for two years now. Wouldn't mind a machine with a rotary pump...They do make that one in a version with a rotary pump - the "bar" version I understand has a rotary - might need to be specially ordered.

the nerd Posted August 6, 2015 Share Rotary makes it nice and quiet with a real decent flow! Â It is the reason I still use lever machines, I can't afford a rotary machine :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V12man Posted August 6, 2015 Share Rotary mod the oscar!!It needs more than just a rotary pump as modification - better to just change machines - otoh - if you like fiddling there is a lot you can do to it. http://www.home-barista.com/search-results.html?q=oscar+modifications&ie=ISO-8859-1&cof=FORID%3A9&cx=partner-pub-1874394195286019%3Aih80ev-qwtj&siteurl=www.home-barista.com%2Fsearch.php&ref=www.home-barista.com%2F&ss=5018j2972034j20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadenceblur Posted August 6, 2015 Share I enjoy the Oscar,it's quite capable for my needs. Aesthetically I guess it leaves a bit to be desired.It's a bit noisy and the fact that I need to manage the heating up process is a bit of an irritation with the whole steam knob procedure.I do a lot of steaming, so a DB heat exchanger it would have to be. the nerd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fantana Posted August 6, 2015 Share Just had a fantastic cappuccino from Wimpy Perfection in a cup, think they use distilled water which makes the differenceI am not surprised that you enjoyed it. Most of the women I know are fond of Wimpy cappuccinos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V12man Posted August 6, 2015 Share DB heat exchanger it would have to be.Err.... nope - don't get Double boilers with heat exchangers... Its either a DB machine OR a HX machine.  It is actually more complicated that that - because the DB machines use HX's to pre heat the water for the brew boiler... still - either HX or DB....

V12man Posted August 6, 2015 Share I see that Mondial doesn't have a rotary pump though.Some of them do - but I don't see it on the isomac.it web site - possibly it has been discontinued, but they definately exist http://www.coffeegeek.com/forums/espresso/machines/62528 You would not be dissapointed in the vibe pump version though - it's a solid machine.
