Victoria Arduino 358 White Eagle Leva 2GR

TheVA358 White Eagle 2GR lever espresso machine offers the barista the opportunity to use advanced technology and enjoy modern design, without giving up the chance to showcase all their skills and knowledge in the art of espresso making. The future and tradition of espresso machines are blended on the VA358 White Eagle Leva.

Extraction lever system

The lever system of this professional coffee machine allows you to manually modulate the pre-infusion for each batch. When you lower the lever, hot water from the boiler soaks the coffee. The more the barista pulls the lever, the longer the pre-infusion phase. A good professional waits for the first drops of coffee before lifting the lever; this means the water has infused all the coffee. For an effective pre-infusion, the water pressure should not exceed 2 bar when entering the group.

The lever and technology for perfection in the cup has technical features that offer creamy and delicious coffee. The secret is in the heat exchangers that control the temperature of the water to optimize the quality of the extracted coffee.

Technology meets the lever espresso machine

In typical lever espresso machines, the water that enters the group comes directly from a boiler, which is known to have a pressure of 1 to 1.2 bar, corresponding to 120 to 130°C. Basically, this is the same water used to produce steam. Instead, in the Victoria Arduino VA358 White Eagle, which uses heat exchangers (although it is a lever machine), the temperature of the water can be controlled to optimise the quality of the coffee extracted. In this case, for an excellent pre-infusion, a special pressure reducing valve reduces the water pressure, which is usually 4 to 6 bar. These specifications make the coffee extracts of the VA358 White Eagle Leva particularly creamy and unburnt.

When coffee needs a tall cup

Consistent, reliable, efficient. It responds to the new needs of coffee shops and offers the possibility to use tall cups and glasses to satisfy the taste experience.

Technology that ensures maximum temperature stability of the espresso

In a professional coffee machine, temperature plays an extremely important role as it strongly influences the quality of the espresso. A stable temperature provides an excellent and repeatable result. But how? Thanks to studies, research and experiments, as well as working with the best baristas, a solution has been found that ensures control of every single parameter. Thus was born T3, a technology that allows the barista to set three temperatures. What do you get? Control of the thermal precision of the water supply, resulting in temperature stability and, ultimately, the perfect espresso. This is also thanks to the electronic system, with probes for temperature, pressure and PID that control each variable.

New technology for milk frothing

The VA358 White Eagle Leva is also available with Easycream, a technology that allows you to heat and froth milk according to your preference, thanks to an innovative nozzle with "tangential holes" and a steam and air mixing system. This system is highly appreciated by café chains because it produces creamy milk that is fragrant and consistent.

An innovative system that prevents scorching

The thermal insulation guarantees the safety of the barista; and not only that, but better and easier cleaning and therefore better hygiene. The new thermally insulated "Cool-Touch" nozzle prevents unpleasant burns and can speed up the cleaning of the coffee machine.

Since 1905, Victoria Arduino has specialized in the production of espresso machines of the best quality. It uses both time-honoured technologies and a range of modern and innovative approaches to production. All Victoria Arduino espresso machines are handmade, which guarantees the originality and personality of each espresso machine that is produced. Great emphasis is also placed on the aesthetics of the products themselves. The company's founder Pier Teresio Arduino successfully combined elegance, style and first-class quality and NUOVA Simonelli, under which Victoria Arduino falls today, is still one of the most respected companies on the market.
