Product description
Aleman ZXS Manual Espresso MachineTemperature and pressure control with pre-infusion and a long lever
Manual machines let you control pressure by hand, but most of them leave temperature to chance. The ZXS edition adds temperature control to pressure control, so you can manage the two variables that shape espresso flavor with one hand. The long lever also delivers high pressure with less effort.
Three features that make a difference in the cup
Temperature control
Water temperature changes flavor just as much as pressure: high temperatures bring bitterness, while low temperatures bring acidity. The ZXS edition lets you set it instead of relying on boiler water as it comes.
Built-in pre-infusion
It wets the coffee at low pressure before full pressure, allowing it to swell and distribute evenly while reducing channeling. That is the difference between a balanced cup and one that comes out sour one time and bitter the next.
Long lever
The longer lever gives you greater pressing force with less effort, so you can pull consecutive shots without tiring or having your pressure fluctuate from the first shot to the last.
Where it fits you
Fit level for each use
Before you order
This is a manual lever machine, which means you generate the pressure with the lever. It is the temperature-control edition in the Aleman series, so if you want a simpler edition or one with electric heating, check the links below.

Order confirmation

Delivery
It arrives in the original factory packaging with the professional portafilter, backed by a two-year warranty and authorized service in the Kingdom.
First shot
Set the temperature for the roast, dose and tamp the coffee, wet it with light pressure, then gradually increase the pressure with the lever.
Lock in the recipe
Record the temperature, grind, and dose you liked, then repeat them. That is what makes a manual machine deliver consistent results.
Where it really makes a difference
Light roasts
They need higher temperatures to bring out their sweetness and reduce acidity. Without temperature control, they come out sour and thin no matter how well you adjust the pressure.
Dark roasts
They need lower temperatures so they do not burn and turn bitter. Lower the temperature and pre-infuse, and the cup comes out rounded without burnt bitterness.
Guests
The long lever lets you pull consecutive shots without tiring, while temperature control keeps the fifth cup like the first.

Why temperature matters in a manual machine
The manual machine gives you pressure, but if the temperature changes with every kettle, all your pressure adjustments go to waste. The ZXS edition locks in the second variable, so the difference between cups comes down to factors you control.
Questions people ask before ordering
How is it different from the rest of the Aleman series?
ZXS is the Temperature Control Edition. The 2/2S edition focuses on a wide pressure range from 1 to 16 bar, while Edition 4 adds built-in electric heating. Check the links below for a comparison.
Does it need electricity?
Pressure is generated entirely by hand with the lever. Check the product option above for details about temperature control in this edition.
What does pre-infusion mean?
Wetting the coffee at low pressure before applying full pressure allows it to swell and distribute evenly. This prevents the water from finding a channel to pass through while leaving the rest untouched.
Is it suitable for beginners?
It requires patience because you control everything. But temperature control removes one unknown variable, so you can learn faster than with a manual machine without temperature control.
How do I care for it?
Clean the portafilter and basket after every use, wipe the metal parts, and avoid soaking the wood in water. Use filtered water to reduce buildup.
Compare it with the rest of the series: Aleman 2/2S from 1 to 16 bar, or Aleman 4 with electric heating. You can also browse the Rafah espresso machine section.
