La Nuova Era Altea Hybrid 3-Group Commercial Espresso Machine

The La Nuova Altea Hybrid 3-group is an espresso machine that has two automatic group heads and a traditional manual lever-controlled group that is placed in the middle. By manually pulling down the lever, you have full control over the espresso brewing.

With the Altea Hybrid, you have the best of both worlds, by being able to brew manually with the classic lever lever and having access to two automatic brewing heads. The Altea Hybrid is internally identical to the Altea Vintage except that the Hybrid has integrated a traditional lever-controlled brewing group. The Altea has a fantastic Italian design with traditional features that stands out from the crowd with its appealing large lever lever that allows a barista to have full control over the brewing.

About traditional lever control espresso machines

The first traditional lever-operated espresso machines came in 1947. The advantage of a lever-operated espresso machine is that it does not require a pump or electronic components, but the pressure is built mechanically by pulling down the lever to achieve the build pressure of 9 bar. By gradually pulling down the lever, you have full control over the brewing. Since no pump or electronic component is required, the traditional manual lever-operated espresso machine is very quiet. Manual espresso machines also do not need a “Backflush” cleaning at the end of the session, as only automatic espresso machines have a three-way valve. Another advantage of manual machines is that they stand out from the crowd with their beautiful long lever.
