    Quick tidbit here, both of these pumps are driven by motors, the vibrating pump is just a linear induction motor instead of a rotating motor. Its very likely that your rotating motor is also induction, it just moves differently. The most common example of a linear induction motor is found in every loudspeaker on earth and they can certainly perform day in and day out for decades. Whether or not they can handle a specific duty cycle is really a matter of how they are sized and designed for a certain application. There also other very cheap versions of rotating pumps out there, this one in particular is just very robust.
    This is extremely informative though as it shows how these are set up for ESPRESSO machines, great work on showing these taken apart and discussing them.

      +Patrick Anderson While technically accurate, I haven't seen any speakers with a 1/1.5 duty cycle. Haha! In this age of lighter cheaper run it to the limit engineering, you generally get what you pay for. Even though my 2500 dollar refrigerator with the new linear compressor crapped out after only 3 years. Grandma's GE fridge ran for 60 years and was only shut off for defrosting and during power outages and never had so much as a screw replaced. Still worked when it sold with her house. Planned obsolescence is all the rage. Whenever I see "duty cycle" less than "continuous", I don't walk away. I run. Haha! Gimme a Procon pump on a Baldor motor and call me in 60 years.

    I had my Rancilio Silvia on a timer to heat up in the morning, but left the pump switch on Twice,and burned out two pumps while I slept unheeding! I at least,learned my machine inside and out. One good thing was that each time I bought my pump online, they were of better quality. The last one was all metal (excluding gaskets etc.) and cost me the same cash! Yes,It took two stupid moves to impinge on my obviously addled mind that the half hour (or less if you run some water through) I had to wait, was less trouble than buying another pump! I type this after breaking down my grinder and almost buying rebuild parts, but finding that the gear box makes grinding noises without beans! So backed out on the parts and am now watching this site's very enjoyable vids to decide on a low level coffee grinder that I can afford (less cash than the espresso machine I use)

    It's so hard to properly represent sound in our videos, though; we tried to do it with grinders by using a sound meter and it showed different decibels, but it's mostly a tone thing. I think that the Silvia is louder because it's smaller, so things are closer together and will jiggle & shake (for lack of a better description). - Kat

      Your video was informative and very to the point. And in english! Didn't have to ask my classmates in Darmstadt for help. Originally I thought pressure for all espresso machines were dependent on grind size. Does this mean that rotary pumps are more forgiving on grind quality/consistency?

      I don't think the rotary pump would work very well with a thermocoil system. The vibratory pump doses out water in small amounts that can be vaporized. The rotary pump would have to rotate very slowly in order to manage that.

    Thank you for this rad explanation (and to the thread of comments)! Love the visuals, and how you broke it down in layman's terms. I've worked in cafes my whole life so I know a thing or two... but internals are not my niche. I'm finally looking at buying a machine for my home and this put everything that I've been frustrated about into perspective. I'm feeling way more confident about my the purchase I'm about to make after watching and reading through. Kudos!

  • @CheekyMonkeyK

    Great video. A few other considerations:
    1)The mounting of a vibe pump affects how loud it is. They are are suspended in a rubber mount, but if that rubber or the pump touches anything, the vibe pump gets really loud.
    2)While a rotary pump can be rebuilt, it is useful to note a new vibe pump costs around $50 which is less than the cost to rebuild of a rotary pump.
    3)A vibe pump takes longer to get to full pressure. This can result in a machine that is more forgiving to newbies.

      @toddlerqueen6791 Год назад

      @vladyslavleonov7174 not sure if you ever received a response but the cost depends on which pump you have.
      Regardless it’s fairly inexpensive, to have them rebuilt or you can purchase a repair kit. If you’re purchasing or repairing a Procon pump, I recommend contacting EDCO Distributing

    Just watched this and very timely. I'm deciding between the Cellini Premium Plus V2 and the Evoluzione V2. Rotary seems the way to go but about $400 more in comparing these models. For occasional home use, I may consider the vibratory due to cost savings. An interesting comparison would be between the Rancilio Silvia (very loud) and the Rocket with vibratory pumps. Rockets seem much quieter but would be fun to hear the difference. Thanks again and keep the education coming!

  • @webbcomp2
    @webbcomp2 11 лет назад +9

    Decibels are a logarithmic scale. A 10bD increase in decibel level will result in a doubling of perceived volume. A baby crying is 110 dB, an ambulance siren is twice as loud, so 120 dB, a jack hammer is 130 dB, and a jet engine is 140dB. When you look at it, it looks like a jet engine isn't much louder than a crying baby, but it is actually 8 times louder! You demonstrated that a rotary pump is half as loud as a vibe pump.

    This was so interesting !! Thank you! Gail is amazing as always, but unlike her, I quite like the sound of a grinder, mine is pretty quiet and pleasant to the ear imho. On the other hand, I really dislike the sound of a vibrating pump, it's very aggressive, in your face kind of sound, you can feel the entire machine shaking, cups on the top shaking and moving knocking into one another...The smooth sound of a rotary pump reminds me of ice cream machine at the milk bar, and everything related to ice cream gives me joy inside my heart :-P
    Also, I wonder if the vibration through the whole machine is a good thing for the overall integrity of the components over a long period of time compared to rotary pump which feels a lot less intrusive. If you are ready to invest well over 2000$ on a machine that you will likely keep for a good part of your life maybe the 500$ more is worth it even if it doesn't make

    @noir4hire 10 лет назад +1

    Hate to be the tech nerd! But, in theory, a "Rotary Pump" coverts Electric energy in magnetic energy as well, with either alternating current or it can be direct current pump motor. I believe most rotary pump motors for espresso applications are AC.
    I understood your guys basic point ! But my friend brought this up to me, they got confused when you said a vibrating pump was "electric to magnetic energy."

  • @lateralthinking7104
    @lateralthinking7104 8 лет назад

    Hey there awesome video! Just a quick note though, 1/1.5 duty cycle is 66%. So the machine can be on 66% of the time you consider as a unit, which in this case can be 1.5 minutes, seconds, hours...

    Hi Gale, Bill and the camera lady, and Happy New Year!
    I just saw your video and I recently bought a La San Marco 95-22-3. I’m looking for a water pump now and I was wandering if you know the proper pump characteristics for this machine?
    Bill I have the old pump but it's leaking and i have to either rebuild or replace the one i have. Do you have for sale a repair kit for this pumps?
    Thank you!

    • @SeattleCoffeeGear
      @SeattleCoffeeGear  10 лет назад

    • @SeattleCoffeeGear
      @SeattleCoffeeGear  10 лет назад

    10db differences equate to a sensation of "twice as loud," which is no doubt why most of us find rotaries to be far quieter. Not to mention that humans are less sensitive to lower tones such as those in a rotary pump.

      I know i'm late to the party... however i think i would go with Rotary also. It never hurts to buy quality... and adding another point of failure to a system is never good. Not to mention, your raising the cost of the machine with materials and labor to accomplish the same thing a rotary is capable of handling on its own.

    @bashconsole 9 лет назад

    Ok, thanks for the video. Nothing is too complicated. So, the difference is in sound and how many cups of coffee you want to make per day actually. :) Personally, I do not see a lot of difference in price according to details I saw. It looks like commercial machine should be about 200 bucks more expensive only. :) So, if you can get pretty good vibration pump machine for about 250 bucks then the same commercial version should around 450-500 bucks but not more. :)

    • @I_ammm_mojojojo
      @I_ammm_mojojojo 6 лет назад

      Actually no.. the commercial machines also have higher quality internal plumbing, boilers, etc.. so they are gonna be more $$. That doesn't mean someone cant manufacture a cheaper rotary pump system.

    Vibe pumps are better for home use as they are cheap, if you're lazy and you live in a hard water area and don't descale as often as you should and you burn out your pump you can get an OEM replacement for 20 bucks shipped. If you do that with a rotary vane pump you'll be crying when you have to spend 500$ replacing the rotary vane pump. The grinder will always be louder that the vibe pump as they correctly note and pump type has no effect on taste.

    @MrAlligam 12 лет назад

    In my house the kitchen and family room are open to each other. I can't use the vibratory pump in the kitchen while people are watching TV in the family room without interrupting the program. The rotary pump being 10 db quieter means it is putting out only 10% of the noise of the vibrator pump. Next espresso machine -- rotary all the way!!!
