Lever coffee machines count on your help to make coffee. They offer the same top-quality espressos, cappuccinos and lattes as automatic espresso machines, but they're cheaper. You will also enjoy the aroma of freshly ground coffee that is missing with capsule systems. So, how should you choose a lever coffee machine, and what are their pros and cons?
ContinueHow to Choose a Manual Espresso Machine
Select a manual espresso machine or a lever espresso machine based on pressure, water tank capacity and wattage. You should also consider whether you want to only make espresso as you will need a lever espresso machine with a nozzle for frothing milk if you want to enjoy cappuccinos and lattes.
Lever Espresso Machine - Higher Pressure Is Better
To properly push water through ground coffee, you need a manual espresso machine that produces at least 9 bars of pressure. However, some lever coffee machines will not maintain this pressure throughout the coffee extraction process. Therefore, it is best to choose a manual coffee machine that is capable of exerting a higher pressure—ideally around 15 bars.
Manual Coffee Machine - Water Tank Capacity
Water tank volumes for manual coffee machines range from 0.5 to 2.5 litres, with the price and size of the machines increasing as the volume rises. A coffee machine with a 0.5 to 1-litre tank is normally sufficient for a two-person household.
Lever Espresso Machine - Power
A manual espresso machine comes with an input power ranging from 300 to 220W. Low power devices save energy and are usually compact in size. On the other hand, manual coffee machines with higher wattage are bigger, consume a lot of energy but offer better performance and a number of handy features.
Manual Espresso Machine — Advantages and Disadvantages
- Lower price than automatic coffee machines.
- A unique coffee experience.
- Makey coffee from freshly ground coffee beans.
- Resulting coffee is comparable to more expensive automatic espresso machines.
- Preparing coffee takes more time.
- More demanding device maintenance.
Manual Espresso Machine with Coffee Grinders
Some manual espresso machines have a built-in coffee grinder that grinds coffee beans to the coarseness you desire, so you can enjoy an even better and more balanced coffee taste. Lever coffee machines with grinders look like professional coffee shop machines and are comparable in price to automatic coffee machines.
