- Lever based espresso machines use a lever instead of pump to create pressure. By pulling on the lever, the user forces water through the coffee grounds. We take a look at a Profitech Pro 800 level espresso machine and offer tips for getting the most out of this type of coffee machine.

Im a fan of your beer brewing channel. Subscribed to this now as well.
This is our second K-Classic. We had our first one for many years, so when we had to replace it, we wanted nothing else but this exact th-cam.com/users/postUgkxBrV-RbF5Nk0Rlt9i15aao-YMzqzTG8Vf model. We use it for about three people everyday in the morning. The taste and quick brew is one of the reasons we like it so much. There are so many choices of brands of coffee that we would grab what was on sale and test the different brands from there. I would definitely recommend trying different brands of coffee to find the ones you like the most because there are brands that quite frankly taste horrible.
Right off the bat, in your first paragraph, you're giving out incorrect information. Not a good thing to do if you're trying to teach beginners.
"Instead of coming from a pump, all of the pressure comes from you pulling down on this huge lever here". Incorrect. When you pull the lever down you are raising the piston and compressing a spring, when the lever is lowered, the spring is what is producing the pressure to brew. You are demonstrating on a spring lever machine, not a lever machine. On a lever machine like a La Pavoni or similar, then your arm is producing the pressure.
Since when did we in Britain say “levver” rather than the correct “leever”?
Using a La Pavoni, personally I can swear by the inclusion of a puck screen. No grounds disturbance for the wetting and pre-infusion. The spent puck is far better (drier) for disposal and overall extraction of dissolvable solids.
Definitely helps keep your grouphead cleaner. But does it affect taste?
@@vex123 It does in terms of consistency. Repeatability and reliability. Able to Fellini technique the pre-infusion without muddied puck. It's a win on every level 👌
They should make the lever detachable. How the hell am I gonna that Pinocchio stick around my home kitchen without disturbing my drawers?
😂😂😂
Most accurate description 🏆
Its here! Thanks for the video man
Leeeeever.
2:12 excuse me while i roast you as a decade experienced barista but non-burn? from a gas that is inherently at 212f? alright, yeah, fair, water is in fact water, but 'a good job frothing milk' yeah, that's 'frothed' it's not steamed or anything past heated, this machine from what it looks like puts out a piddle of steam so you absolutely have to position the wand and pitcher with precision or you just get flat milk, which is what seemed to have happened here, unfortunate as this machine genuinely seems top of the line, but unable to put out even the bare minimum of steam, i am spoiled as a barista with multiple thousand dollar machines but even the worst could get a decent foam if you shoved it in milk and made it hot enough, absolutely will avoid this brand
Any experience with the Cremina SL?
Hi Keen , I have a Bezzera Riviera lever espresso machine , my filter basket is 46 mm so it won't take more than 11-12 mg of coffee ,I'm trying different setting (grinding-quantity ) I'm almost there but still quite bitter , any video or advise on how to make it better ? Thank you
This machine came out right after I placed my order for a Londinium R24. The leaver gets “cocked” when you pull all the way down, the spring is what does all the work, so the amount of effort to cock the spring is not that much. Anyway, great video and hope you are enjoying your coffee journey.
So which one is better? This one or the Londinium R24?
Do I know you from that IBM channel? Lol.
Lever you pronounce as "lee va".
Lever machine have giant phallic symbol think that is why men love them so much lol. Who makes the best lever machine today?
