Core Functionality

Espresso Extraction Process

At the heart of the E1 Prima is its state-of-the-art espresso extraction system. The machine uses a 58mm group head with an integrated temperature probe, ensuring precise control over the brewing process. The group head is also equipped with a pre-infusion chamber, which allows for a gentle, even saturation of the coffee grounds before the full extraction begins.

But the real magic happens behind the scenes, thanks to Victoria Arduino’s New Engine Optimization (NEO) technology. This innovative system uses a small boiler and a heat exchanger to deliver water to the group head at the perfect temperature with minimal energy waste. The result is a consistently delicious shot of espresso with a rich crema and a complex flavour profile.

Temperature Stability

Speaking of temperature, the E1 Prima is a master of stability. The machine’s dual boiler system allows for independent control over the brew and steam temperatures, with PID controllers ensuring that each boiler stays within a tight range. According to Victoria Arduino, the E1 Prima’s temperature stability is within +/- 0.5°C, which is pretty impressive.

But temperature stability isn’t just about the boilers; it’s also about the group head. The E1 Prima’s group head is made from a single block of stainless steel, with a built-in heater that keeps the temperature rock-solid throughout the extraction process. This means you can pull shot after shot without worrying about temperature fluctuations or inconsistencies.

Pressure Profiling

One of the most exciting features of the E1 Prima is its pressure profiling capabilities. Using the machine’s accompanying app (more on that later), you can create custom pressure profiles for each shot, fine-tuning the extraction to your exact specifications. 

The E1 Prima’s pressure profiling system is incredibly intuitive, with a simple drag-and-drop interface that lets you create your profiles in seconds. And if you’re not feeling particularly creative, the app also comes with a range of pre-programmed profiles, each designed to highlight different flavour notes and characteristics in your coffee.

Steam Wand Performance

The machine’s steam boiler has a capacity of 1.65 litres, which means you can steam milk for days without running out of power. The steam wand is a cool-touch design with a four-hole tip that delivers a powerful, consistent stream of steam.

But it’s not just about raw power – the E1 Prima’s steam wand is also incredibly easy to use, thanks to its ergonomic design and intuitive controls. The machine’s steam pressure is adjustable, with a range of 0.8 to 3 bar (although Victoria Arduino recommends keeping it at around 2.1 bar for optimal performance). With the machine’s T3 technology, you can steam milk and pull shots at the same time without any loss of pressure or temperature.

Like any espresso machine, the E1 Prima requires regular cleaning to prevent the buildup of coffee oils and residue, affecting the taste and quality of your shots. Fortunately, Victoria Arduino has made daily cleaning a breeze with the E1 Prima’s automated cleaning cycles and easy-to-remove components.

After each use, it’s important to wipe down the steam wand and purge it of any remaining milk residue. You should also remove the drip tray and rinse it out, as well as wipe down the machine’s exterior with a soft, damp cloth. And don’t forget to empty and rinse the portafilter and basket after each use.

For a deeper clean, the E1 Prima comes with a blind filter basket for backflushing. Simply insert the blind basket into the portafilter, add some cleaning solution, and run the machine’s automated cleaning cycle. Victoria Arduino recommends backflushing the machine at least once a week or more frequently if you’re using it heavily.

Long-Term Maintenance Needs

While daily cleaning is important, it’s not the only maintenance your E1 Prima needs to stay in top form. Like any machine with moving parts and complex electronics, the E1 Prima requires periodic maintenance to prevent wear and tear and keep everything running smoothly.

One of the most important long-term maintenance tasks is descaling. Over time, mineral buildup from your water supply can accumulate inside the machine’s boilers and pipes, affecting its performance and even causing damage. To prevent this, Victoria Arduino recommends descaling the E1 Prima at least once every 3-4 months or more frequently if you live in an area with hard water.

You’ll need to use a descaling solution specifically designed for espresso machines and follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully. It’s also a good idea to consult your user manual or contact Victoria Arduino’s customer support team if you have any questions or concerns.

Other long-term maintenance tasks include replacing the group head gasket and shower screen as needed, as well as lubricating the machine’s moving parts (such as the steam wand ball joint) to keep them moving smoothly. These tasks should be performed by a qualified technician or a confident DIYer with the proper tools and knowledge.

Whether you’re a fan of dainty single shots or beefy doubles, the E1 Prima has you covered. The machine has a range of filter baskets for different dose sizes, from 7g to 21g.

From what we’ve read, single shots are bright and lively, with a nice balance of acidity and sweetness. Doubles, on the other hand, are rich and full-bodied, with plenty of depth and complexity.

Of course, the key to getting the best results with any shot size is to dial in your grind and dose properly. The E1 Prima’s built-in shot timer and pressure gauge make this a breeze, allowing you to fine-tune your extraction and get the most out of your coffee.

Light vs. Dark Roasts

As most coffee nerds know, different roasts require different approaches to brewing and extraction. Light roasts tend to be more delicate and acidic, while dark roasts are bolder and more full-bodied.

With light roasts, the E1 Prima could bring out the coffee’s bright, fruity notes without overwhelming them. The machine’s pre-infusion feature is particularly useful here, allowing for a gentle, even extraction that preserved the coffee’s delicate flavours.

Dark roasts, on the other hand, are a piece of cake for the E1 Prima. The machine’s powerful steam pressure and temperature stability made it easy to extract the coffee’s rich, chocolatey notes. In contrast, the adjustable pressure profiling allowed us to fine-tune the extraction to one's liking.

Performance with Milk-Based Drinks

The E1 Prima has everything you need to create silky, creamy milk-based drinks at home.

The machine’s steam wand is simply amazing. With its four-hole tip and adjustable pressure, it’s easy to create microfoam with just the right texture and temperature. The powerful steam boiler will steam milk continuously without any loss of pressure or temperature.

You can create anything from classic lattes and cappuccinos to more adventurous brews like the flat white and cortado.
