Dear coffee lover,
At the Coffee Coaching Club we are always on the lookout for exceptional products that make every barista's heart beat faster. Today we would like to introduce you to a true masterpiece of the art of coffee: the MANUMENT Leva machine.
Imagine being able to make the perfect espresso every morning in your own home - with a machine that impresses not only with its functionality but also with its design. That's exactly what the MANUMENT Leva machine offers you, a masterpiece of engineering handcrafted in Thun, Switzerland, that we're happy to present at the Coffee Coaching Club.
A design that inspires
The MANUMENT Leva machine is more than just a coffee machine; it's a handcrafted design object from Thun, Switzerland. With its clean lines and high-quality materials, it blends seamlessly into any environment and becomes an eye-catcher in your kitchen or café. Each of the 590 individual components is assembled with the utmost precision to give you an incomparable experience.
Perfection in every cup
What really sets the MANUMENT Leva machine apart is manual control over the entire extraction process. Thanks to its innovative water flow system, you can adjust the intensity of the water flow across five levels to get the most out of every bean. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced barista, this feature lets you shape the taste of your espresso to your preferences.
Energy efficiency meets innovation
The MANUMENT Leva machine has a patent-pending multi-flow heating system that heats only the amount of water needed for a double espresso or for frothing milk. That means the machine is ready to use immediately, produces minimal waste heat, and is especially energy-efficient. Overheating and temperature fluctuations, which can occur with conventional lever machines, are a thing of the past.

We warmly invite you to experience the MANUMENT Leva machine in person at the Coffee Coaching Club. See its outstanding quality and functionality for yourself.

Frequently Asked Questions About the MANUMENT Leva
Is the MANUMENT a Swiss machine?
Partly - and it's worth being precise here. Development, design, and production are based in Thun, in the company's own factory since March 2026. But the company behind it is German: Caffè A Mano GmbH, headquartered in Stuttgart. Its own press release describes it as «the German startup … with a production facility in Thun». «Handbuilt in Switzerland» is accurate; «Swiss company» would not be.
What type of machine is the MANUMENT?
A spring-lever machine - the manufacturer calls it a «manual lever machine with spring and piston», with two springs about 23 centimeters long.
How big is the boiler?
It doesn't have one. The MANUMENT uses a patent-pending multi-flow-heater system: a separate heating element each for coffee and for steam or hot water. The water tank holds a maximum of 1.6 liters.
How high is the brew pressure?
Spring pressure sits at 9 bar at the start of extraction and tapers off over the course of the shot - the typical lever profile. There's also a manual water flow valve with five opening levels that lets you shape the profile by hand.
What portafilter diameter does it have?
54 millimeters.
How heavy and how large is it?
44 kilograms, at roughly 204 x 655 x 760 millimeters. It needs 230 volts and 16 amps, up to 3400 watts maximum - have your connection checked beforehand.
What variants are available?
One model, in black and white. Pricing is available on request. The name «Francesca» from 2019 was the prototype and trade-show designation, not a current variant.
How long has it been around?
The team has been working on it since 2018; it launched on October 9, 2019. MANUMENT has been manufacturing in its own factory in Thun since March 2026.
