Anyone notice this "Achille" lever to the right of the Rocket machine in this CC review?

I'm not very sure what you mean with the "Achille" lever.
The one on the video are Izzo Pompei that CCS distribute in North America.

The only lever available under the name Achille are the manual lever Gaggia Achille.
AFAIK Gaggia not producing any new commercial lever anymore.

It seems to be this Quickmill machine: Quickmill 0996.

Thx Javier, it is the Quickmill. I guess it wrong.
Think it back, the dimension indeed doesn't match the Pompei.

Which indeed they call Achille.There is a lot of stuff packed under that hood!!!

CCS does not list it in their website yet. I guess they are testing it or they have decided against it already.

Wow, rotary pump packed in there. Sight glass on the left. Pretty neat.
