Pro 800 Lever
Profitec · £2,430
Nice, but
A hand lever machine: no pump, just a spring and your arm deciding the pressure curve. The 7.8kg brew group and walnut handles are beautiful and the mechanism is simpler than any pump machine, which is a real durability argument. But £2,650 buys a machine that demands you learn a physical skill, and that is a choice about how you want to spend your mornings rather than a better cup.
