Product description
Aleman 2/2S Manual Espresso Machine1 to 16 bar of pressure by hand with a commercial 58 mm group head
No pump, control panel, or plug. It has a 35-centimeter lever that lets you generate pressure yourself from 1 to 16 bar, along with a 58 mm group head in the same size as commercial machines. Start with a gentle pre-infusion, then increase gradually - you feel everything through the lever.
Three features you won't find in an electric machine at this price
1 to 16 bar by hand
Electric machines pump at a fixed 9 bar. Here, you start at 1 bar for pre-infusion, raise it to 9, go up to 16 if you want, then lower it at the end. You draw the entire pressure curve with your arm.
Commercial 58 mm group head
The same size as commercial machines, so all professional accessories fit: tampers, distributors, and precision baskets. You are not locked into a proprietary size with no accessories available.
Nothing to break
No pump, electronic control board, or sensors. Made from 304 stainless steel, solid wood, and a lever. It lasts longer than any electric machine and works anywhere you have hot water.
Where it suits you
Suitability for each use
Before you order
This is a fully manual machine with no plug: you generate pressure with the lever and prepare hot water in a separate kettle. The 100-milliliter extraction chamber is enough for one dose at a time. You will also need a grinder that can grind for espresso.

Receive it
Inside the box, you will find the machine, a 58 mm portafilter, tamper, and distribution ring, backed by a two-year warranty.
Prepare the water
Heat the water to around 93 degrees in a separate kettle, then pour it into the extraction chamber.
First shot
Grind finely, tamp, press the lever gently for pre-infusion, then raise it gradually. After a few attempts, you will feel the resistance and know when the grind is right.
Where it really makes a difference
Learning by hand
When you feel the resistance through the lever, you understand the relationship between grind size and pressure in a way no button-operated machine can teach you. Too fine a grind makes the lever heavy, while too coarse a grind makes it drop with no resistance.
Camping and travel
It weighs 2.8 kg and needs no electricity. Use hot water from any source to pull a real espresso outdoors, not ordinary camp coffee.
Light roasts
Light roasts need a long pre-infusion at low pressure before extraction, and that is exactly what the lever provides: hold the lever at 1 bar for as long as you want, then raise it.

Why professionals return to lever machines
The lever is the oldest way to pull espresso, and it is still the only method that lets you control pressure and feel it through your body. Electric pressure-control machines start at SAR 8,000, while this lever gives you the same freedom at a third of the price, with no part that can fail.
Questions people ask before ordering
Does it need electricity?
No, it has no plug at all. You generate pressure with the lever and prepare hot water in a separate kettle, then pour it into the extraction chamber.
How many shots does it make at a time?
The extraction chamber holds 100 milliliters, enough for one single or double shot at a time. Refill the water for the next cup.
What is the benefit of a 58 mm group head?
It is the standard commercial size, so all professional tampers, distributors, and baskets fit. If you upgrade to a commercial machine later, your accessories come with you.
Do you need a special grinder?
You need a grinder that can produce a fine espresso grind. Filter grinders are not enough, because a coarse grind makes the lever drop without resistance and produces a weak cup.
Is it suitable for beginners?
It takes some patience during the first week because you learn grind size and pressure together. After that, you understand espresso in a way a button-operated machine cannot teach you.
