Questions

Common questions

Are lever machines hard to use?

They take some practice, because you control the pressure by hand. The gauge on the group head helps you learn faster.

How is it different from the Professional Lusso?

Both are manual lever machines with a 1.6L brass boiler and 52mm filter holder. The Esperto Abile adds a pressure gauge on the group head, wooden handles and knobs, and a competition basket.

What warranty does it come with?

A 2-year manufacturer's warranty. If anything goes wrong, we'll point you to the right place and help with proof of purchase.

Can I see it before I buy?

Yes. Book a viewing at our Silverwater showroom, Monday to Friday, 8am to 3pm, through our contact page.
