Semi-Pro Home Barista

Professional Barista

 

After owning and going through a few ELECTRIC Pump-driven machines, you only have one other type of machine to conquer. The Hand Lever, Piston Operated Espresso Machines. With some finesse, you will be able to make the best espresso on the best espresso machine manufactured on this planet. Learning to use these machines in the beginning will save you money in the long run. How? The two major components to go on a home model electric espresso machine is the boiler, the heating element, and the electric pump. It is usually not worthwhile financially to repair these units; since it can be cheaper to buy a new one.

The hand lever machines, that we are about to present, do not have electric pumps. Your hand becomes the pump. Your hand also regulates the pressure on the piston. In addition, these machines have nickel-plated brass boilers with long lasting stainless steel heating elements. This nickel-plated brass metal combination is found on the highest end of commercial units and gives longetivity to the boiler. We have not found any other home models that have this durable nickel-plated brass combination.

Elektra

microcasa a leva series

Copper & Brass with Lever

Chrome with Lever

Chrome and Brass with Lever

La Pavoni

La Pavoni Chrome Professional & Europiccola Line

La Pavoni Brass "Romantica" Professional & Europiccola Line

Both lines have beautiful finishes, and we highly recommend the Professional line because of the larger boiler size that can produce more cups of espresso and cappuccino.

Ponte Vecchio

Ponte Vecchio Export and Ponte Vecchio Lusso

These are the most affordable spring-lever espresso machines in the marketplace today!
