Introducing
JLeverX ®
Fast, eXceptional Espresso
Made Near Effortless
No long warm-up wait, no elaborate dial-ins, grounded in espresso science.
Next Generation of Manual Espresso
Five Years In Development
Representing a "from the ground-up" rethink of manual lever espresso machines.
We Think Home Espresso is too slow & complicated
Let's Fix That
Imagine crafting an exceptional café quality espresso in 2 mins* with ease. No long machine warm-up wait. No lengthy pre-heating routines. No frustrating dial-in sessions. Clean up - about about 30sec.
* As timed using a 2,200W kettle - time to espresso can be faster or slower depending on your set up.
Manual Levers Are Just Easier
Pull a shot→
Cut waste, save time, and take the frustration out of dial-in with a manual lever.
Grounded in Espresso Science
Above All - Taste
Built for speed and ease of use - but without compromising taste. Capable of producing rich, sweet, complex espresso flavors, with a smooth buttery mouthfeel.
Delicious Coffees You Can Craft
Using an espresso, ristretto or lungo as a starting base.

JLeverX ®
Features and Benefits
What Makes it Special
Engineered for Speed
2 Mins * to Espresso
And with multiple baskets you can batch prep espresso shots: pulling multiple shots in a row without clean-up. Nobody is left waiting for their coffee.
* As timed using a 2,200W kettle - time to espresso can be faster or slower depending on your set up.
Only Metal and Silicone
NO Plastic Water Contact Surfaces
For those concerned about hot water in contact with plastic, stainless steel and food-grade silicone seals offer chemical stability under repeated heating and pressure.
Intelligent Leverage
So Easy it's Near Effortless
Not just high leverage - but an innovative mechanism that matches peak leverage to peak pressure requirements; actually guiding you to a declining pressure lever profile.
Profiling Freedom
Pressure, Temperature and Mineral
Get the best out of your roast with pressure profiling, and the cylinder includes an internal ledge that can be used to divide the main water chamber* allowing experimentation with temperature and mineral profiling.
* Note, a metal AeroPress-style filter disk works well as a separator. Not supplied. During the shot, the bottom chamber pushes water into the top chamber, gradually mixing the waters.
Bottom-Up Water Flow
No Preheating *
Use hot water stratification to your advantage; start your shot with the hottest 92°C water for extra espresso sweetness.
* Note, some light roasts may benefit from a quick pre-heat.
Spring Lever Emulation
Declining Temperature
Classic spring lever espresso machines decline pressure AND temperature, producing that characteristically soft, velvety espresso. The JLeverX defaults to a declining profile.
Outstanding Versatility
Low Pressure Extractions
You can easily pull coarse-grind, low turbidity, low-pressure pour-over / AeroPress-style shots, if you struggle with the inherent bitterness of espresso.
Gravity Flooded Pucks
Even Puck Saturation
Make gravity work for you not against you, during that critical low-pressure pre-infusion phase; reducing the potential for channeling slightly.
JLeverX ®- Core Embodied Values
Beyond a Capable Espresso Maker
Skip Expensive Pods
Buy Local Roast
Fresh, locally roasted coffee tastes phenomenal - and brewed fresh at home, it typically costs less per gram than pods. A better experience for you, your family and friends, at a lower price.

Natural Caffeination
One Ingredient, Not a Hundred
Many canned caffeine drinks contain added sugar or artificial sweeteners, flavourings, and other additives. An espresso is just coffee beans and hot water.
Sustainability
Less Single Use Waste
Pods, single-use containers and plastics could contribute to environmental pollution if they end up in landfills or natural environments, potentially leaching chemicals and microplastics. The world we leave behind for our next generation matters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
We're aiming for a Kickstarter in late June, with a end-2026 launch date. However, we've made predictions before and have completely missed the mark, so any launch timeline is very tentative. Lastly be assured delays in the Kickstarter are not delaying the development and any delay benefits potential backers with less risk.
Most likely, it'll launch in Europe, the US, UK, Japan, and Australia. Availability in other countries will depend on whether we can get retail stores to stock our items. We encourage all interested stores to contact us if you'd like to stock JLever Espresso products.
You'll need a separate milk frother to make milk-based espresso drinks like cappuccinos and lattes. We recommend subminimal products, but others are available.
Not initially. However, if we receive enough customer requests, these can easily be produced as an aftermarket option.
We designed the JLeverX to be super easy to “pull” shots on, so the arms are on the longer side and do take up some room. Options include pulling shots at an angle across a benchtop corner, with one arm extending over the sink, or even turning the unit nearly perpendicular to the benchtop. However, if you have a very small kitchen and can't find a space for the arm length, the JLeverX may not be suitable for you.
There is certainly room for step-down baskets so yes - however, it's best that we make native (non-step down) small diameter baskets and container tops to fit these. These may be available later down the track in 2027.
Yes, and we encourage this. Drinking coffee is a social event, and with two or three portafilter baskets, you can easily prepare multiple baskets back-to-back so you can enjoy espresso or other beverages with company!
The JLeverX will have a 1-5-year warranty depending on the component. A final warranty period will be advised on.
