Who it suits

  • people who want to learn espresso by hand and control the pressure and flow themselves
  • anyone who values a lever press for its simplicity over automatic features

Who should skip it

  • anyone who wants one-button, repeatable shots
  • milk-drink households that need a steam wand: a lever press makes the espresso only

The thing worth knowing

A lever machine gives you control and takes time: you heat, load, pull and clean up by hand for each shot. A grinder that steps fine enough for espresso matters as much here as it does with any machine.

What we have not done

We have not independently tested this product. The description above is compiled from the manufacturer’s published specification and from what the category demands, and it is written to tell you who the equipment suits rather than to sell it. Where we have no first-hand experience, we say so rather than inventing a star rating.
