I have read the great review of the Profitec Pro 800 Array/reviews/profitec-pro-800-review-t44660.html. This review gives a great description of how the dipper mechanism in the Pro 800 works, with prewetting then pre infusion. I have a Alex Leva and realise I am not totally sure...

I've always felt like the lever on my machine engages the pressure a little to late (meaning: when the lever is pointing couple of degrees above the horizon). There seems to be too little resistance the first couple of degrees. But this could of courses be normal.

Has any Alex Leva owner encountered a leaking valve that is used to steam the cup warmer? Right now I have a very slow constant leak through the cup steamer valve. I've tried to use steam to clear anything from the valve but the valve leak does not change. It looks like this is...

Hi folks
I've been settling in with my new Leva. Lever Espresso Machine Gallery
A short learning curve, coming from an E61, but fun in the journey...loving the espresso!

My objective with this post is two-fold:
1. Document posts I found useful in my research and learning...

i've checked on HB and from previous post, there's been info about removing the inner spring on the Leva for different taste. I saw a post from Tom before that with both springs is about 11bars of pressure, where as if just outter spring only, it's about 8.5 bars of pressure....

Hi all,

I recently got Izzo Alex PID (2011). It is well used but in a working condition. Few days ago I turned it on and PID didn't turn on (but power switch lighted up), after few seconds of silence, the water regulator clicked loudly and started to buzz. I tried to start the...
