Edit: you may also consider a Sirai pressure stat to have longer service life but this isn’t necessary yet for a new machine.

First post here, sorry if any mistakes :)

Just spotted this great deal fo those who are after a decent semi-automatic espresso machine. As a heat exchanger machine it is capable of pulling shots and steaming (very strong steam) simultaneously. NS Oscar II is a great choice at this price point as I have never seen a lower price, not to mention it now comes with free standard shipping. Also, they support a wide range of payment options including Afterpay & Zip.

Below are some important specs for this machine. Note that this machine does NOT support volumetric control – many sites indicate this wrongly.

  • Dimensions (W x D x H): 30 x 41 x 40 cm
  • Shipping weight: ~15kg
  • 2.8L water tank
  • 2L insulated copper heat exchanger boiler
  • Lever operated steam wand with 4-hole tip
  • Vibratory pump
  • Auto-stop shots programmable by time
  • Does NOT come with OPV

FYI if you decide to grab this deal Di Pacci does require screenshots of the transaction record to be emailed to them after payment. Common fraud prevention. You'll see the details when you receive their order confirmation email.

PS: an OPV kit is highly recommended for this machine. It costs $130 as an additional option at Di Pacci. They will install it for you. (Edit: or buy from somewhere else if you can do the installation and calibration of OPV, it saves a lot)

    Sounds silly not to have a opv. This will have a crappy domestic style pressurestat that will fail soon enough. If it's stuck on, boiler won't be happy. I guess this relies on a temperature sensor on the boiler to cut out the element when it gets too hot.

    Oh, and $130 for an opv??? For probably 5 mins work and a cheap part…

      One of the reasons why i don't purchase anything from di pacci. Ridiculous what they charge.

  • Hipsi on 18/03/2021 - 08:58

    Yep $130 for an OPV is a bit rich. I've got an original Oscar and the pressurestat is failing on that. Thankful I fitted an OPV.

    Why does this machine also not have a pressure guage? its helpful when dialing in for me

    • Oldmate88 on 18/03/2021 - 09:25

      You can generally use the 1:2 ratio of coffee to water and not worry too much about pressure, so long as you're around the 30s mark.

    Vibratory pump…teeheehee

    • Dtezy on 18/03/2021 - 09:33

    require screenshots of bank records to be emailed to them after payment. Common fraud prevention

    First time I've heard of an online merchant asking for bank records, strange request.

    • Joseph Ng on 18/03/2021 - 11:09

      Just a screen shot of that transaction in the app, I guess?. Not the bank statement.
