Hello,

I am currently a aeropress user and looking for an espresso machine for home. So far, I have already spend around a month researching the machines and found I must get a lever machine.

The only problem is: I have never tried the taste of lever espresso machine myself....

Would it be possible for the Lever Forum to have a Gallery sticky of all the lever machines? If we own/owned the machines there would be no copyright issues. I think it would be helpful to all us LeverLovers to be able to see machines referred to in the forums quickly, without...

After a few false starts, I recently bought a Bezzera Family, a machine I had been searching for for some time now to use as a daily driver. I bought it from another member of this forum, who had bought it at auction years ago and started working on it before getting sidetracked...

Been a long time in the pipeline but the ACS Vesuvius Evo Leva has finally become a reality. Took delivery of two today. The other is for my son.

Hi all,

I mentioned in a prior thread that I'd been avoiding properly serving my Cremina SL group by sneaking grease in without removal. Turns out, it wasn't so bad!

I removed the group by taking the M5s with an allen wrench (tedious!):

I then removed the fork. I should've...

Just finished up a full restoration and upgrade of my Mini Gaggia lever machine. Started as a sight unseen eBay buy, and turned into a fully stripped down rebuild. Upgraded 2nd spring, 110v heating element conversion, as well as a not-so-smart temperature controller.

It's...

Love the great advice on this forum. I just purchased a Profitec pro 800 lever machine, I have been using the Pro 700 dual boiler machine for years with good success.

1) Just curious if anyone has advice on the best temperature setting? At 255 F. the machine has better steam...
