Next Generation of Manual Espresso
Five Years In Development
Representing a ground-up rethink of manual lever espresso machines. Take advantage of a huge multi-year effort to polish this unit.
Grounded in Espresso Science
Taste - Above All
The JLeverX was built for speed and ease of use - but without compromising taste. Capable of producing rich, sweet, complex espresso flavors, with a smooth buttery mouthfeel.
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.
Extraction Parameter Freedom
Complete Control Over Extraction Parameters
Get the best out of your roast with pressure profiling; pre-infusion, straight 9 bar or a declining pressure lever profile. Set extraction temperatures anywhere up to 95°C after a quick pre-heat. Extract using a wider range of water chemistries.*
* On the JLeverX you can brew with water chemistries that would otherwise scale or damage a pump machine.
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.
Delicious Coffees You Can Craft
Using an espresso, ristretto or lungo as a starting base.
*Note, you'll need a milk frothing option for these drinks, as the JLeverX cannot froth milk.
Beyond a Capable Espresso Maker
JLeverX™ - Core Embodied Values
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.

Choose 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 ground coffee beans and hot water.
Sustainability
Less Single-Use Waste
Pods, single-use containers and plastics can 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)
Q. When will the JLeverX be available?
In Australia, the JLeverX pilot run is near complete: 100 units only, with dispatch in late November 2026. Pre-orders are open. For international buyers, we're aiming for a Kickstarter in late 2026 to early 2027.
Q. Where will the JLeverX launch?
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.
Q. Can I froth milk with this espresso maker?
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.
Q. Will the JLeverX come with an option for shorter arms and/or detachable telescopic arms?
Not initially. However, if we receive enough customer requests, these can easily be produced as an aftermarket option.
Q. I have a small kitchen, and the JLeverX takes up a lot of space across the benchtop. Is it suitable for me?
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.
Q. Is the JLeverX compatible with step-down 54mm/51mm/49mm baskets?
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.
Q. Will I be able to purchase two portafilter basket tops?
Yes, and we encourage this. Drinking coffee is often 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!
Q. What's the warranty on the JLeverX?
It depends on the component:
5 years: aluminium base, cylinder body, piston, baskets and basket tops.
3 years: accessories (magnetic funnel, tamper, adjustable scoop, WDT tool and Allen key). WDT needles are not covered against bending.
2 years: bearings, arms, shafts, silicone covers and other moving or mechanically loaded parts.
6 months: springs, silicone gaskets, O-rings and puck retainer plates.
