Purchasing a lever group

Postby mug on Tue May 24, 2011 2:18 pm

Is it possible to only buy only the lever group, no boiler, no body, just the group? I've searched through the forums quite rigorously but cannot seem to answer my question.

I think Nuova Ricambi has a complete lever group from Astoria.

Check the Orphan espresso website. There are sometimes machines parted out and such on there, I believe.

Thanks for the info, I'll look into it. I'm guessing for the nuovo ricambi website you order piece by piece. Orphan espresso website is more of what I am looking for (used replacement lever group head)

This item at Nuova Ricambi is a full group, completo. I think without the porta-filter, of course.

Like Flint mentioned check with OE, I think they had a group off a SAMA that was complete and rebuilt (Spring Lever) I think they also had some La Pavoni parts but I cant recall if thay had a complete group or not.

I was thinking about the SAMA group myself buut I really dont need a project at the moment so someone else buy it before I change my mind ;)

If in the end you have to do it that way, you might call "Espresso Parts" in Olympia. They could probably put together an Astoria lever group from the parts they have, and maybe other brands too. Will not be economical that way ... but they may have other options that don't appear in the online catalogue.

Conti is cheapest afaik.
About 300 directly from their website.
