Overview
Pulling the lever applies pressure through a stainless steel brewing head set on an aluminum press stand. A pressure gauge shows the pressure you apply, and two portafilters let you choose a bottomless or flow control extraction.
The reason to buy is hands-on control of pressure and the chance to watch it on a gauge. The limit is effort and extra gear: heating and grinding are up to the user.
Who it's for
Coffee hobbyists who like to tune a shot will use the gauge and the two portafilters. People who want a fast morning routine with no learning curve should choose an automatic machine.
Pros and cons
- Pressure gauge included
- Two portafilters included
- No electricity needed
- Heating not part of the listing
- Grinder not included
- Manual effort for each shot
Performance notes
Lever force sets the pressure, and the gauge lets you repeat a successful shot. The bottomless portafilter exposes the extraction, while the flow control one offers more forgiving flow.
