Re: BRAND NEW UNICO SPLENDOR $1912

Looks like a Rancilio PF....is it because the flatness of the neck of the PF allows the PF to lock in to the group? I.e does the group protrude down and not allow other PFs with round necks to lock in?

Wow I love the look of the Splendor. Giotto eat your heart out! It must be the best looking 1 group machine to come out of the BFC factory I would say.

FC, on the inside is it much different to the BFC Junior?

Major differences are full stainless steel chassis, lever group head and its dead sexy. Its closest in specification to the diadema junior lever.

Re: BRAND NEW UNICO SPLENDOR $1912

Thanks all for your kind words....I will convey them to the managing director of BFC, the manufacturer of these lovely semi commercials.

The silvia group handle was "handy" when we were taking the photographs, whilst the machines own handles were packed away in the welcome pack in the carton at the time. Simply put, it fits and is interchangeable with the standard fitments.

Thanks 2mcm for your reply above and I will add....yes the internals of the Splendor are the same as those of BFC Junior machines and by that I mean, the working parts of the machine. Any differences in the way they operate (compared to the various Junior Plus models) will then be due to small differences in external fitmets (eg diff steam valves) between the models.

All Splendors and Junior Plus machines imported by my company are specd up as we want them, to work as we want them, so any of these machines purchased from us are specd to our own "signature".

This then, is an Unico Splendor FC Signature machine.

Regardz,
FC.

Re: BRAND NEW UNICO SPLENDOR $1912

Ahh fair enough. We use Rancilio PFs on our Azkoyens as normal ones wont lock in due to the lowness of the group design.

I have rescued this machine and its now for sale via Talk Coffee with our usual service and warranty provisions! This is a great opportunity to grab a bargain! You will never see a Unico Splendor for $1.9k again

mmmmmmm........prescious.

Re: !!SOLD!! UNICO SPLENDOR $1912

Damn straight! Dead sexy too. Id be tempted to see if you could edge light the perspex on each side to highlight the badging.

The original E61 machines had a simple neon tube behind the glass panel. It worked a treat.

A couple of questions: Seeing as the Rancilio PF fits and say if a person wanted to upgrade from a Silvia to one of these, would that mean their existing naked PF and ECM double would fit? And would a Rocky be a good match for the Unico or would a grinder upgrade also be required?

Cant see why not, as far as I can see bfc & ecm source their group handles from the same source...the rocky will mate up well enough but Splendor will look much better sitting next to a Macap M4 or M5...its not compulsory but is a better "match". One of my regular clients upgraded from a lesser machine & rocky grinder to one of my Diadema Junior Plus machines and Macap M5 grinder, and and asked me the same question ( could he stay with the rocky). He came in 2 days later just to tell me I was right about upgrading the grinder. It has a better means of adjustment, is quicker, quieter, feels more solid, and looks much more sexy.

Re: !!SOLD!! UNICO SPLENDOR $1912

My Macap is definitely sexy.

Heres a side by side comparison.
Cant say the sizes are accurate as Im going on memory for the Rocky.

Which one would you want sitting next to the Splendor?
