Manual lever brew group
The brew group keeps the water at temperature and directs it through the coffee grounds. Its mass determines how stable the temperature remains over multiple extractions.

58 millimeters is the most common size. Baskets, tampers, levelers and distributors are available for it from many manufacturers, so you are not tied to an unusual size or a single supplier.
Before full pressure the coffee grounds are pre-wetted with low pressure. This is done mechanically through the design of the brew group, without electronics and without adjustments. It prevents channeling in the puck, that is spots where the water breaks through too quickly.
You generate the pressure yourself via the lever. That requires practice and gives you the most direct control over the extraction there is. This part of the machine does not need electricity.

With Flow Control you manually control how quickly the water runs through the coffee grounds: start slowly, then increase pressure. That takes the edge off acidic beans and gives you an extra adjustment. Without Flow Control the extraction runs at a fixed pressure, and that is enough for most recipes.

The top surface of the machine is warmed by residual heat. A prewarmed cup draws less heat from the espresso, and those last degrees decide whether it still tastes the same in the glass as in the cup.
The machine switches itself off after a set time or goes into a low-power state. That saves electricity when you turn it on in the morning and then forget about it during the day. Without standby it stays on until you switch it off.

Mondgold Decaf, decaffeinated organic coffee from ChiapasSweetness of cane sugar on the first sip, followed by hazelnut and milk chocolate, with dried fruits and a light citrus note in the finish.
Start recipe: 18 g → 36 g in 25 s
Beans ship free with the machine and come from the same roast week.
Wiedecent Tamper V6 58.35 mmThe tamper supplied with most machines is made of plastic. A properly fitting tamper fills the portafilter basket to the edge, and it is exactly there that you find out whether the water will flow through evenly.
Brewing group brush with wooden handleRun it through the brew group once a day, two minutes of work. Without that, coffee oils build up on the shower screen and the extraction becomes uneven long before you taste it.
Decal40 - Highly effective descaler for portafilter machinesLimescale sits where you do not see it: in the boiler and in the pipes. How often you need to descale depends on the water hardness, not the calendar.
