Product description
Professional Lever Espresso Machine from La MarzoccoBuild the pressure profile by hand for every shot
At a specialty coffee shop, a new coffee arrives, and the barista stands before it to discover what it has to offer. A pump machine provides consistent pressure from the first shot to the last, leaving no room for intervention, while the mechanical lever puts the pressure profile in the barista's hands: gentle puck pre-infusion, then a peak, followed by a decline whose endpoint the barista decides.
Three things that make the difference
Mechanical lever
Pre-infusion and extraction are controlled by the barista rather than a preset program, allowing the recipe to change with the coffee instead of imposing one on it.
Precise thermal stability
Smart PID control for the coffee boilers and PID control for the steam boiler, with insulated boilers that help maintain temperature stability and reduce energy consumption.
Saturated groups and Pro Touch steam
The saturated group maintains group-head temperature between cups, while the steam wand uses the Pro Touch system, with Eco Mode for periods between peak times.
The shot path on the lever
Puck preparation
Grind, distribute, and tamp evenly in the precision basket. The lever reveals distribution issues faster than a constant-pressure machine.
Pre-infusion
Water reaches the puck at low pressure until it is fully saturated. The barista manages this stage directly, lengthening or shortening it according to the coffee.
Peak pressure
Pressure is increased to draw out body and oils, while the barista monitors what is happening on the electronic display.
Shot finish
Pressure is reduced gradually and the barista decides when to stop, then repeats the same profile in the next cup after learning what suits the coffee.
Where it fits and where it does not
Important before ordering
The lever requires practice to master, and the result depends on the barista rather than a preset program. This is a professional machine that requires a water connection and suitable electrical setup. It is available from the company in one-group, two-group, and three-group versions, which differ in dimensions, capacities, and electrical power. Contact us to confirm the version and setup before ordering.

Questions asked before ordering
What does the lever add compared with a pump?
The pump delivers constant pressure throughout extraction, while the lever makes it variable and controlled by the barista: gentle pre-infusion, then a peak, followed by a decline. This variation is what brings out the flavor layers in lighter coffees in particular.
Is it suitable for beginners?
It requires practice, and results improve with experience because the barista manages the pressure. Someone starting from scratch may find an automatic machine easier at first.
Can a professional espresso machine like this be installed at home?
It is possible in a coffee station equipped with a water connection and a suitable electrical supply, but it is primarily designed for a café environment, and its weight and dimensions require a permanent space. Contact us to ensure the setup is suitable before ordering.
How does the barista monitor extraction during operation?
Through the electronic display, which shows brewing information during operation. The machine software can also be updated later via USB.
