Why we picked it
The entry to lever espresso. The frame is cast aluminum and the brewing cylinder is stainless steel. You fill the cylinder from a kettle and pull the lever down by hand, which pushes the water through the grounds at real espresso pressure. It packs into a small case, which is why people take it camping. Preheating the cylinder with hot water before each shot is part of the ritual, and it holds enough for one double shot at a time.
What it’s made of
Cast aluminum, stainless steel brewing cylinder. Chosen for what it’s made of, not what it’s wrapped in.
- Stainless steel
- Food-grade and near-indestructible. Won't shed microplastics.
