La Nuova Era Altea Hybrid – Innovation meets tradition with a unique lever-operated espresso machine
La Nuova Era Altea Hybrid 3-group is a perfect combination of traditional espresso brewing and modern automation. With two automatic brew heads and a traditional lever-operated group placed in the center, this machine offers the best of both worlds. The machine's manual lever design provides a unique espresso experience where you as barista can control pre-infusion, pressure, and brew time to extract exceptional flavors that regular automatic machines rarely achieve. At the same time, the automatic features provide ease and precision for consistency in higher volumes.
Altea Hybrid is not just an espresso machine – it is a tribute to both modern technology and traditional Italian craftsmanship. The robust lever-operated group makes it stand out visually and emotionally, making it a perfect choice for cafes, bakeries, and restaurants looking to deliver unique coffee experiences.

Traditional brewing with modern flexibility
Altea Hybrid builds on La Nuova Era's successful Altea Vintage model, but the significant difference is the integrated lever-operated group. With this feature, you can create espresso brews that stand out by manually customizing every aspect of the extraction. This gives experienced baristas the freedom to create espresso with unique character, while the automatic features allow for efficiency and precision under high workload.
The traditional lever offers mechanical reliability and complete control without electronics or a pump, which also makes it incredibly quiet. This is perfect for environments that value a calm atmosphere while delivering exceptional coffee.
