some ideas
Posted: Fri Apr 22, 2011 5:35 pm
My company got a Vivaldi II in December 2010 and I got one for my home 2 weeks ago (April 2011). Some general ideas that would be relatively easy to implement:
1. For the timer, have a short button sequence to skip the next event a single time. For example, if you have the machine to turn off at 9pm but you have a dinner party that is running later than that. Would be nice to just push a few buttons to tell it to to skip that event and stay on rather than having to re-program it or remember to turn it off.
2. Make the wire for the timer longer. Give me a break. It barely sticks out from the bottom of the machine. Have a few extra holes in the box so it is easier route the wire. Have a few mounting tabs to be able to screw the box to a wall or cabinet.
3. Automatic backflush sequence. A commercial Della Corte and I believe other machines will automatically turn on and off the group to backflush 6 or 8 times automatically. This should be easy to do.
4. a short tube off the off the 3-way valve that ensures the water dispensed goes into the drip tray and onto the counter top. Chris Coffee is kindly sending me a short piece of tube for both my unit and my companies unit. Ironically, I had to make this modification to my old Simonelli Oscar too.
