Re: replacing vibe pump for Rotary__HELP
Mine is the same I think - But badged Ala di Vittoria and also known as Arte di Vittoria or Classica 1 Group.
AFAIK it is the smallest of the machines made by BFC srl in their Classica range.
I think mine is amazing too! But Juanjo has much nicer tamping stands and portafilter holders and handles etc etc. than me
Im sure they contribute to the overall feel of the machine when using it.
As far as the rotary pump conversion goes, I seem to remember seeing one on homebarista or a similar site. A google search may get it for you.
I would suggest for starters (understanding that I am not a qualified anything in relation to these types of machines):
- Comparing the plumbing of the rotary pump (in your 1 group) with that of the mini grimacs pump to find major differences/similarities.
- Comparing power requirements of new pump and old pump to see if the current power supply can be used.
- Measuring available space inside the machine (assuming it fits in the chassis and you want to put it internal rather than external)
Apart from that, if you guys know what youre doing just rip the old one out and plumb in the new one. Let me know how it goes.

Spencarr,
the Grimac One Group its an amazing machine..
4liter boiler

e61 group head
and all you want from a HX espresso machine..
steam power is unlimited and once you have everything setup is super easy to drive..
highly recommended...
Both Grimac I had and sold (Mini Grimac and the one group) got me two new friends.. thats how good they are..

Re: replacing vibe pump for Rotary__HELP
Can you tell me what you think of the Grimac Group One? Have you been pleased with it? Have you had to do much by way of tweaking or adjusting? And is it an easy or a hard machine to drive?

Hi,
