Manual Espresso
Espresso pulled by hand: a lever press with no pump and no boiler, and the grinder and steamer that complete a manual setup.
Manual Lever Espresso Makers
A manual lever maker replaces the pump with your arm. Water from a kettle goes into a preheated cylinder and the lever pushes it through the coffee, so pressure and its profile over the shot are yours to control. They are quiet, compact and have little to wear out; the grinder matters more than with any other machine.

A Grinder and Steamer for a Manual Setup
A lever maker has no grinder and no steam wand of its own. These are the two pieces that make it a complete espresso bar: a hand grinder fine enough for espresso, and a standalone steamer for milk drinks.
