Lever espresso machines

How to choose a lever coffee machine?

What is the difference between the different types of boilers in lever coffee makers?

A mono boiler uses one boiler for both espresso and steam, which can affect performance when using both functions simultaneously. A single boiler with an HX exchanger separates the espresso and steam parts of the boiler, allowing them to be used simultaneously without compromise. The Dual Boiler has two separate boilers, one for espresso and one for steam, ensuring optimum temperature and performance. The Multi Boiler contains multiple boilers for maximum temperature control. And thermoblocks are quick to heat up, but have a smaller capacity than traditional boilers.

What are the advantages of a rotary pump over a vibrating pump?

A rotary pump provides more stable pressure and quieter operation than a vibrating pump. It's a great choice for lever coffee machines in offices or cafes where the focus is on consistent espresso quality and low noise. The vibrating pump is often chosen for home coffee machines because of its lower price.

What type of coffee machine is best for the home?

Single boiler or thermoblock coffee machines are ideal for home use, providing good performance and easy maintenance. Coffee makers with manual dispensing are great for those who want to have full control over their coffee preparation.

What's the difference between home and professional lever coffee machines?

Home lever coffee machines are smaller, easier to maintain and have a lower capacity than professional models. Professional coffee machines are more robust, with more power and more features, such as a dual or multi boiler or rotary pump, ideal for commercial use where large quantities of quality espresso need to be prepared.
