Next Generation of Manual Espresso

Ground-Up Redesign

Not a refinement or an iteration—but a fundamental rethink of manual espresso, five years in the making.

Home Espresso is too slow & complicated

Let's Fix That

Imagine crafting the perfect café quality espresso within 2 mins with ease. No machine warm-up wait. No preheating rituals. No frustrating dial-in sessions. No wasted shots. That's the promise.

Manual Levers Are Just Easier

Pull a shot→

Cut waste, save time, and take the frustration out of dial-in with a manual lever.

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. Life's too short to put up with poorly designed tools.

* Depending on your electric kettle's power.

Only Metal and Silicone Seals

No Plastic - Water Contact

Plastics can leach nanoplastics & endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) like phthalates, bisphenols, PFAS & more.*

* Endocrine Society, Position Statement April 2025: "Accumulating evidence points to the fact that EDCs contribute to and/or exacerbate the etiology of numerous chronic diseases"

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; peak pressure, pre-infusion, declining pressure - you choose, and a separation of water chambers allows for simple temperature and mineral profiling.

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 will require a single pre-heat

True Spring Lever Emulation

Declining Temperature

Classic spring lever espresso machines decline pressure AND temperature, producing that characteristically soft, velvety espresso. This behavior is reproduced by default on the JLeverX.

Maximum Versatility

Low Pressure Extractions

On the JLeverX you can easily pull coarse-grind, 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. Reduce channeling potential and get slightly higher extractions.

JLeverX ®- Core Embodied Values

Beyond a Capable Espresso Maker

Skip Expensive Pods

Go Specialty

Specialty coffee tastes phenomenal - and brewed fresh at home, it costs less per cup than pods. A better experience for you, your friends and family, at a lower price.

Healthy Caffeination

For Peak Focus and Performance

Most canned caffeine drinks carry lots of sugar plus synthetic additives. A freshly made espresso is full of phytonutrients. Speed and convenience shouldn't involve a compromise.

Sustainability

Less Waste Without Compromise

Pods and single-use plastics are not only wasteful, they end up in landfills, rivers and oceans - leaching harmful 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.
