Spring Lever
Compact
Back to the 50′s
The Spring Lever was designed in the 50’s in Italy and was considered then and today the best brewing group. A true Spring Lever machine has no pump so it is extremely quiet and draws the water into the boiler with thermosyphon and the heavy stainless springs inside the group allow for a beautiful extraction perfect every time. The Basic machine is all Stainless.

4Salvatore’s dream machine, the hand operated spring lever espresso machine, the most perfect extraction in espresso brewing possible
I have been building espresso machines since 1993, one at a time each machine signed and numbered for each customer. I have followed the trend in my profession from semiautomatic, automatic, programmable digital electronics but in my mind I keep going back to the original spring lever machine when I was a very young child in my uncle’s cafe in Italy. It has become an overwhelming desire to bring back this style espresso machine to the modern world because as with many other conveniences we see today the quality has been lost. It is not only my opinion but many other coffee lovers that the spring lever is the only way to brew espresso.
