Coffee Preparation:

Simple to use, just pull the E61 grouphead lever up and the brewing process starts. When finishing brewing your espresso with the Brewtus, just push the lever down. The lever action engage the pump when up and then the pressure relief valve when pulled back down. Can't be simpler than that!
Expobar Office Lever comes with a commercial 58 mm portafilter handle. It is made of chrome-plated high density brass that contributes to the thermal stability. Include: two filter baskets for one and two espresso shots.
Heavy duty E61 grouphead is a desirable feature that you can find in the Expobar lever espresso machine and more expensive commercial espresso makers. It is made of solid brass and beautifully chrome platted, polished to perfection. This grouphead is always hot and ready for brewing due to it's thermosyphon circulation system that circle hot water continuously between the grouphead and the boiler for better thermal stability. The Lever require less flashing of blank shots due to patented flow restrictor and very short distance from the boiler to the grouphead.
Heat exchanger 1.8 litres boiler is made of high quality deoxidation treated copper hand built by Expobar with heavy brass cupping. Thermal insulation adds to energy efficiency and temrature stability. The 1.8L HX boiler allow you to brew and steam milk at the same time without the need to relief pressure as required in smaller boiler machines such as solis sl70, Rancilio Silvia and similar espresso makers.
Expobar Lever has an automatic boiler refill inside the boiler. A smart probe sensor sense the water level and when the water level goes below certain level, it gives the pump an order to refill the boiler. In case the boiler run out of water, the boiler heating element will off to avoid damage.
Boiler pressure gauge located on the right side of the Expobar Lever espresso machine. It let you know when the machine is ready to brew coffee and steam milk by showing the bar pressure in the copper boiler. Once the machine reached its ideal pressure in few minutes (around 1 bar), its ready to brew and steam milk. With E61 grouphead, it is recommended to wait few more minutes prior to brewing so the circulation of water to the grouphead heats the group properly. You can accelertae the brew group heating time by flashing some water through it and the portafilter handle.
Expobar lever has a brew group manual pressure relief valve attached to the E61 grouphead. The lever control the grouphead. Pulling up starts the brew process, pulling down stops the brew process. Then, a manual pressure relief valve opens at the bottom and release pressure from the grouphead and portafilter handle to the tray. The pressure relief dries the ground used coffee in the portafilter handle so its packed nicely into a cookie shape, easier to knock it out and the machine is quickly ready for your next shot.
The Expobar Lever E61 Grouphead has a pre infusion feature. It creates uniform extraction of the ground coffee in the portafilter handle, resulting in maximum aroma.
A water tank sensor is located under the water reservoir. It engaged when the water level in the water tank is too low by sensing the water weight. Once it senses low water level it turns off the Expobar Lever machine.
One water filter /softener is included with the machine, located in the water tank. We offer annual supply of high quality water softeners for use with Expobar Espresso makers at a discount. Water quality and scale removal is important not only for best coffee taste but also protects your expensive espresso machine.
