Maintenance
How to look after your Vostok One Group
A lever machine, such as the Profitec Pro 800, ACS Vesuvius Evo Leva or Elektra Microcasa a Leva, is not backflushed with a blind basket. It does best with daily cleaning, the right water, and gaskets and piston seals that are replaced and lubricated in good time. Here is the schedule and the products we recommend.
Good to know about the ACS Vostok One Group
When you connect the machine to the mains water supply, change parameter F04 from 0 to 1 in the advanced menu.
The pre-infusion pressure is set electronically, and the PID values for the group and boilers can be adjusted individually.
ACS states that softened water is essential for the machine to work well.

A bottomless portafilter shows you instantly if your coffee is channelling. A spring-loaded tamper, a distribution tool and a precision basket give you more even extraction, shot after shot.
Descaling
Water and filters
The right water protects your machine
The target is 2–4 °dH. Use a filter in the tank, or BWT Bestmax if the machine is plumbed in. Do not use distilled water.
Can be plumbed in
Your Vostok One Group has a rotary pump and can be connected directly to the mains water supply. We recommend BWT Bestmax with an installation kit.
