Expobar Office Lever

floydpink · 12-29-2008, 07:30 PM

I am nearly ready to break the 1000 dollar threshold and get a "prosumer" machine and was attracted to the Expobar Office Lever.

Part of the attraction is the chrome finish and I like chrome. It also looks like a serious machine and I can see it in my kitchen for many years.

I imagine the lever part will be an easy thing to figure out, but am mainly concerned I will make the common mistake of missing a better machine for about the same price.

I read great reviews on this machine, but am more believing of info I get here.

The Brazilia has has also caught my eye as has the Pasquini.

Maybe it's not actually chrome upon further review, but i still dig the looks..

Can't go wrong with the E61 group head. It's the standard 58mm basket size, and it will be easy to find a good tamper for it.

Quick Mill also makes a similar line of machines.

The Expobar Lever is not really a "lever" machine. An Olympia Cremina or the Ponte Vecchio Lusso actually has a lever you pull on to make the shot. I believe the Expobar's lever just turns a solenoid on and off...
