Classic 3-piece handle set for E61 espresso machines – wooden rocker lever & valve handles

The Classic 3-piece handle set is the elegant complete solution for upgrading your E61 espresso machine. Consisting of a wooden rocker lever and two matching valve handles, this set combines high-quality materials, perfect haptics, and timeless design. It replaces the standard plastic or metal handles and provides a lasting upgrade in ergonomics and appearance – ideal for everyday barista use.

Why this handle set?

Many classic espresso machines in the premium segment with E61 brew groups do not have the same level of design and quality as their machine core due to their standard handles. The Classic Handle Set remedies this: it combines comfortable operation with high-quality wooden aesthetics that blend harmoniously into modern kitchens and barista setups.

• 2× wooden valve handles (suitable for hot water and steam valves)
