In this video we have a look at Nuova Simonelli's second version of the Oscar. This machine represents quite a few big changes from the 1st version of the Oscar. Out is the 100% plastic body panels and in is a nice mix of metal and plastic with very angular style, which sets it apart from most other more conventionally styled espresso machines. As this is Simonelli's entry machine, they still skip a few things to be able to get you a 2L boiler. There is at least an anti-vac valve in the the Oscar II but still not OPV. I have installed an OPV from an Isomac I had laying around the garage, but you can get kits from Italy.

Can’t wait to see your review on the Oscar Mood!

@tonygibbons5 2 года назад

Can you add the "dimmer mod" that a lot of people seem to do to their Gaggia Classic to this machine? I read on some forums that the flow rate is a bit much. Oh and does this version come with a vacuum breaker thing that you added to the Oscar 1ni your other video? 🤔

@espressorestomelbourne1735 2 года назад

Other option on this machine is to add a flow restrictor (gigler) in the brew circuit.

@makeme.coffee 2 года назад

So with OPV installed you have an extra hose looping back into the water reservoir ?

@espressorestomelbourne1735 2 года назад

Actually it loops back to pump intake pipe below the water tank. Most OPVs drain into the tank and you could do this but this is a little rider with the way the tank sits in the Oscars

@ALEGAMER721 Год назад

Why are you doing that to the coffee machine? What improvement does it bring?"

@checkwhatsleft4565 2 года назад

Have you installed the gigler on the Oscar ii?

@espressorestomelbourne1735 2 года назад

Not on this machine. I have added Gigler to Oscar I.

@checkwhatsleft4565 2 года назад

@@espressorestomelbourne1735 I installed it, it was M8*6mm on the inlet, Oscar I was M8*8mm, but gigler wasn't enough to slow down that flow rate further, I'm gonna installe flow restrictor at the outlet on the pump to reduce it to 10 seconds 50ml flow rate.

@espressorestomelbourne1735 2 года назад

@@checkwhatsleft4565 do you have an OPV installed? I find that with the right grind, tamp and OPV set at 9bar, I get a reasonable flow out of the group.

What is a giggler?

@checkwhatsleft4565 2 года назад

@@makeme.coffee It's a hex socket set screw with 3mm hole in it, they call it giggler from Elektros.

@muhammed88100 2 года назад

is there an upgrade to adjust the flow because it’s too fast

@espressorestomelbourne1735 2 года назад

Yes, you can insert a flow restrictor in the brew path. This is also known as a gigler. You can get the from Elektros.it

Isn't it weird that it has no hot water valve? Once you put water in the boiler for steam, it just sits there with no where to exit, except the TINY bit from the steam wand. Once you've owned the machine for 10 years, you'll be steaming milk with 10 year old water??

Cost saving is the name of the Game for this machine. You can manually empty the boiler

Best company for Nuova Simonelli Oscar modification kits is Elektros.it in Italy. When I checked today though they seem to be having issues with part availability just like everyone. Get in touch with them about when they will be back in stock: www.elektros.it/au/en/Oscar_modification_Kit/
