{"product_id":"la-marzocco-leva-x-commercial-lever-espresso-machine-3-group","title":"La Marzocco Leva X Commercial Lever Espresso Machine (3 Group)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe three-group \u003cstrong\u003eLeva X\u003c\/strong\u003e is a spring-piston lever machine with a screen above every group telling you exactly what the spring is doing. Extraction is purely mechanical — pulling the lever compresses a heavy internal spring, and the spring pushing the piston back down is what pulls the shot. What the X adds is visibility and per-group thermal control that no traditional lever has ever offered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat the X adds over the Leva S\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThree independent 1.3 L brew boilers:\u003c\/strong\u003e one per group at 800 W each, instead of the S's single shared 5 L boiler.

Requires a dedicated 50 A circuit. To be clear on what the X is not: the displays visualise the spring's pressure, they do not programme it, and there are no integrated scales or Auto Brew Ratio on the Leva line.
