The Classic Lever espresso machine. This iconic machine is part of Italian design history. Designed in 1970, with an updated, larger 1.6lt Boiler. By lifting the lever one raises a piston inside the group, allowing water under pressure to infuse the coffee in the filter holder. The lever is then lowered, causing the piston to force the water through the coffee into the cup. The user therefore can vary the speed at which the water passes through the coffee, ensuring it is made exactly according to his own requirements. The Europiccola Professional is on display in the New York Museum of Art, a precious piece of furniture for creamy espresso coffees and foamy cappuccinos.
