Lever

A hand lever machine is what makes you a real pro.

The biggest and probably most obvious difference between other espresso machines is the hand lever brew group.

By pulling down the hand lever, the pre-infusion in the machines starts. Hot water from the boiler flows into the massive brewing group and gets cooled down to the right temperature. If you let go of the lever and let it return to its original position, the water flow closes and a spring applies pressure onto the ground extracting the coffee.
