Athena Leva: a lever machine for an experienced barista.
According to the manufacturer, it is a machine valued by professionals. The lever system lets you fine-tune every drink, but it needs a skilled barista.
Lever and manual pre-infusion
When the barista lowers the lever, hot water from the boiler flows into the group and wets the coffee. The longer the lever stays down, the longer the pre-infusion.
An experienced barista waits for the first drops at the spout and only then raises the lever, because the whole dose of coffee is already saturated. It is simple to operate and, according to the manufacturer, reliable and durable.
Design
The first Victoria Arduino lever machines came onto the market in 1946, after the end of the Second World War.
The Athena Leva body is made entirely by hand by craftspeople, so every machine is one of a kind.
History
The name comes from the Greek goddess of wisdom. The Athena Leva is an important model in Victoria Arduino's history: a rational, timeless form that combines tradition with modernity.
Copper.
The manufacturer shows the Athena Leva in a copper finish and takes orders for custom finishes.
