The benefits of a lever-style espresso machine

QCS is the best shop for those who are interested in a lever machine.
It is no secret that the espresso that is extracted from a lever machine will be more balanced and clean while having more potential to experience the true notes and tones of your high quality beans to the fullest.
Some other benefits of a lever machine are…
- Less noise: Due to the lack of a pump, you can make a shot of an espresso with no noise.
- Low maintenance/Built to last: A lever machine requires less parts and in turn there is a focus on high quality material.
- Short learning period: Very simple to use
- Ultimate user control: lever machines allow you to vary the speed at which the water passes through the coffee, you can obtain the exact characteristics of espresso extraction that you want.
- User satisfaction: If you like to take the driver’s seat with things you love, a lever machine may be a great fit. You pull the lever, you hold the lever, and you control your shot. It’s empowering, it’s satisfying, and it’s personal.
- The machine looks cool and you will too 😉
QCS Lever Machines: We represent Swiss and German brands which are well known to be built with precision and quality. We only represent brands we trust and believe in. Here is a list of our lever machines 🙂
Olympia Cremina: Olympia is a Swiss high-end brand whose focus is a basic machine with all the best material. This particular machine is for the user who wants the most raw experience. The Cremina leaves it to the skill of the barista tofind the required nine bar pressure onto the portafilter by lowering the lever at just the right time.
- Olympia Cremina SL: This cremina has an additional feature which makes it a bit easier to pull the perfect shot. A compression spring in the brewing head of the
Cremina SL ensures constant brewing pressure. With each extraction you can experience how the lever moves constantly and slowly upwards, magically, while a perfect espresso flows into your cup below.
- Profitec Pro 800: The big and powerful lever machine that we have with all the bells and whistles. With a heavy duty 3.5 Liter water boiler and advanced PID, this lever machine also has some features to help the user extract the perfect shot. It needs to be mentioned that this unit is at an excellent price point.
