Built for manual espresso
Here you’ll find Aleman Lab’s machines for those who want to work without automation and shape the extraction themselves with manual force or pneumatic assistance. What unites the series is the direct feel in brewing: you control the pace, pressure, and character in the cup instead of handing over the job to electronics.
The differences mainly lie in format and working method. The stationary models suit those who want a fixed spot for the ritual and more workspace around brewing. The Portable options are made to travel, but with different solutions: fully manual lever, pneumatic design, or a hybrid combining both. For many, the choice is simple: choose based on where you will use the machine first, then how you want to build pressure.
For home use
Three stationary formats with distinctly different feel at the brewing station.
Aleman 2P
The workstation
For those who want a more complete setup on the counter, with integrated drip tray and a clearly defined workspace.
Aleman 2
The core model
For those seeking the same fundamental brewing feel in a cleaner format, focusing on stability and classic manual handling.
Aleman Sniper
Tower format with open mechanics
For the home barista who wants a more exposed expression where the construction and movement become part of the experience.
For travel and Portable use
Three compact paths to espresso when flexibility weighs more than a fixed brewing spot.
Aleman Nomad Hybrid
Two working methods in one
For those who want to switch between hand crank and pneumatic brewing without leaving the Portable format.
Aleman Portable
Purely manual on the go
For those who prioritize easy packing and want to stick to a fully manual working method even outside the kitchen.
Aleman micro pneumatic
Modular and detachable
For users who want to fine-tune with pneumatic control and appreciate a design that can be easily disassembled and customized.
AK-74 for precise milk
The AK-74 is an accessory for those who want to complement manual espresso with focused milk texturing. It is designed for use on a stovetop and operates pneumatically, making it especially interesting for latte art and microfoam when you want to keep the entire setup free from large electric systems.
Alcohol stove for brewing outside the kitchen
This heat source is designed for manual brewing where you need a standalone heat solution. With pressurized ethanol operation, long burn time, and the feel of a Portable workstation, it is especially suitable for outdoor use, temporary brewing spots, and setups where both extraction and steaming can be done without fixed installation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the questions that most often determine which path in the series suits best.
How do I choose between stationary and Portable models?
Start with the place of use. If the machine will be kept out and be part of your daily brewing spot, the stationary options are usually the right choice, as they provide more presence and workspace. If you want to be able to pack up, take your equipment with you, or brew in different locations, the Portable models make more sense. Then you can choose between fully manual feel, pneumatic control, or a hybrid solution.
What is the main practical difference between the models?
The biggest difference is how pressure is built up and how the machine is used by hand. Some models work with a classic manual lever, others with pneumatic control, and one model combines two working methods in the same machine. This affects both the feel during extraction and how flexible the machine is in different environments. For some, a clean, mechanical workflow is most important; for others, modularity or travel-friendliness weighs more.
Are the accessories intended as separate products or as parts of a system?
They work best as complements depending on how you want to build your setup. The milk steamers are aimed at those who want to add milk-based drinks and better control over texturing. The heat source serves another role and makes it easier to create a standalone brewing environment where electricity is not a given. So you can start with a machine and then build on according to how you brew.
