The ancient art of coffee still lives in the Victoria Arduino Athena Leva, the espresso machine so beloved by espresso professionals. Its lever delivery system ensures a high level of customization of the drink, and the materials used for the internal and external components make the espresso machine particularly exquisite. The bodywork, completely hammered by hand by expert craftsmen, is an expression of uniqueness and tradition that is also reflected in the final cup: a perfect espresso.
In typical lever espresso machines, the water that enters the group is straight from the boiler, which is well known to have a pressure of 1 to 1.2 bars, corresponding to 120-130° C. Basically, it is the same water used to generate steam. However, in the Victoria Arduino Athena Leva, which uses heat exchangers (even though it is a lever machine), the water temperature can be controlled to optimize the quality of extracted coffee. In this case, for an excellent pre-infusion, a special pressure reducer reduces the pressure of the water supply, which is normally 4 to 6 bars. With these specifications, coffee extractions with the Athena Leva are particularly creamy and not over-extracted, as may happen with water at high temperatures.
