La Marzocco Leva S
The Leva S is La Marzocco's lever espresso machine, rethought so a café no longer has to give up safety to brew with a lever. The lever group is in full view, so guests can watch the mechanism at work. La Marzocco says the design takes almost 50% less force than a traditional lever machine, and it adds a safety clutch system. The barista can adjust both the pre-infusion pressure and the maximum extraction pressure the lever piston delivers, and La Marzocco reports more than 2,500 hours of testing on the mechanical system.
Where the Leva X has a digital display for each group, the Leva S has dedicated pressure gauges that show the pressure on the coffee during extraction. It has two boilers, one for coffee and one for steam, each with PID temperature control.
For a digital display and its own coffee boiler on every group, see the La Marzocco Leva X.
Features
- Adjustable lever group: set the pre-infusion pressure and the maximum extraction pressure delivered by the lever piston.
- Lighter, safer lever: almost 50% less force than a traditional lever machine, by La Marzocco's figures, plus a safety clutch system.
- Dedicated pressure gauges: show the real-time pressure the lever applies to the coffee puck.
- Dual boilers: separate boilers for brewing and for steam.
- Dual PID (coffee and steam): set the coffee and steam boiler temperatures electronically to a precise number; La Marzocco says this greatly reduces temperature swings.
- Saturated groups: for thermal stability shot after shot.
- Insulated boilers: La Marzocco says they reduce energy use and help keep temperatures stable.
- Exposed groups: for ergonomics and a clear view of the workspace.
- Graphic display: for adjusting machine settings.
- Hot water economizer: fine-tunes the tap water temperature for tea.
- Tall cups: room for tall to-go cups.
- Eco mode: can be programmed to go into standby to save energy.
- Portafilters and precision baskets: stainless steel portafilters and precision baskets, which La Marzocco says improve cup quality and consistency.
- Pro Touch steam wands: vacuum-insulated, double-walled wands that stay cool to the touch.
- USB: for firmware updates.
