{"product_id":"victoria-arduino-athena-leva","title":"Victoria Arduino Athena Leva Commercial Lever Espresso Machine","description":"\u003ch2\u003eVictoria Arduino Athena Leva: Traditional Lever Espresso with Hand-Finished Character\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Victoria Arduino Athena Leva puts the barista's technique at the center of espresso preparation. Its lever-operated groups and hand-worked metal body create a distinctive focal point for a specialty coffee bar, restaurant or hospitality setting that wants the preparation itself to be part of the experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a commercial lever machine rather than a programmable volumetric model. It rewards an operator who understands dose, grind, pre-infusion and the lever cycle, and it suits a service style that makes room for that hands-on approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTraditional operation with a considered thermal design\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAthena Leva uses heat exchangers to manage brewing water rather than simply feeding the group with steam-boiler water. The design also includes pressure reduction for the incoming supply to support pre-infusion. The result is a traditional lever workflow with deliberate control of the conditions feeding the extraction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts hammered bodywork is shaped by skilled craftspeople, so the machine offers texture and character that a flat-painted enclosure cannot reproduce. Choose Copper for a warm, traditional appearance or Chrome for a brighter presentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTwo- and three-group configurations\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x:auto\"\u003e\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px;border:1px solid #ddd;text-align:left\"\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px;border:1px solid #ddd;text-align:left\"\u003e2 Group\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px;border:1px solid #ddd;text-align:left\"\u003e3 Group\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eOperation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eLever; no automatic volumetric dosing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eLever; no automatic volumetric dosing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eBoiler capacity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003e15.2 L\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003e22.8 L\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eApproximate dimensions (W × D × H)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003e26 × 22 × 28 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003e34 × 22 × 28 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003ePublished voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003e220V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003e220V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eWater \/ drain\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eDirect water and drain required\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eDirect water and drain required\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eCopper — list \/ our price\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003e$15,150 \/ $13,635\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003e$17,900 \/ $16,110\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eChrome — list \/ our price\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003e$16,800 \/ $15,120\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003e$20,100 \/ $18,090\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePlan the counter around the lever workflow\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAllow operating clearance for the lever handles and keep the work area accessible to trained staff.
