Manual Lever Espresso Maker – 51/58mm, Walnut Base

At a Glance

A hand-powered lever espresso maker for people who want to pull shots without a pump, boiler or power cord. You supply hot water and finely ground coffee; the long steel lever does the rest. The stainless steel brew body sits on a wood-grain base with space for a cup underneath, and the main parts come apart for rinsing and storage.

Available in two brew sizes: 51 mm and 58 mm. Pick yours before adding to cart.

Why a Lever Espresso Maker

• No electricity needed: brew on the counter, at the office or anywhere you can boil water. There is no pump or heating element to wear out.
• You control the pressure: the speed and force of your pull shape the shot, so you can adjust flow by hand as well as by grind.
• Quiet, simple brewing: no motor noise and no electronics, just a lever, a chamber and your coffee.
• See the brew: oval windows in the stainless steel body show the inner assembly as you work.
• Wood handle and base: a shaped grip for a comfortable pull and a warm wood-grain platform that keeps the press steady on a level surface.
• Takes apart to clean: the lever, chamber, ring, stand and base separate for rinsing and compact storage.

What You'll Need

• Hot water from a kettle, such as our 400 ml travel kettle with temperature settings.
• Freshly ground coffee from a grinder that can reach a fine espresso setting.
• A scale to repeat good shots. Our espresso scale with timer reads to 0.1 g.

How to Brew

1. Set the press on a stable, level surface and place an espresso cup under the brew chamber.
2. For a hotter shot, rinse the chamber with hot water first to preheat it.
3. Grind fresh coffee at a fine espresso setting and load the basket for your size.
4. Add hot water and assemble the brewer following the included instructions.
5. Pull the lever down with smooth, steady pressure until the shot is done.
6. Let the parts cool, then take the brewer apart and rinse.

Shot running fast and sour? Grind finer. Slow and bitter? Grind a little coarser.

FAQ

Does it need a plug or battery?
No. It is fully hand-operated. You only need hot water and coffee ground for espresso.

Can I take it apart to clean?
Yes. The lever, chamber, ring, stand and base separate, so you can rinse each part and let it dry.

Can I use pre-ground coffee?
You can, but lever espresso is sensitive to grind size. Freshly ground coffee at a fine espresso setting gives you control over flow and taste.

Will other brands' baskets or tampers fit?
The brewer is designed to work with its own included parts. We don't guarantee fit with accessories from other brands.

What if it isn't right for me?
You have 45 days from delivery to return it, and it's covered by a 12-month warranty.
