La Marzocco Leva X 1-Group – Lever Espresso Machine with Saturated Group Head
You pull the lever, and the pressure curve runs in real-time on the display – pre-infusion, peak pressure, decay. The Leva X brings back the mechanical lever tradition and adds a digital layer: you feel the extraction in your hand and see it in numbers simultaneously. A machine for cafes that want to work with the extraction, and for demanding home setups.
At Coffee Coaching Club, we are partners with La Marzocco and a coffee roastery in one – we support selection, installation, and training.
What makes the Leva X special
The lever is reinterpreted: with an anti-rebound system and a gearing that requires less force than classic spring levers. Pre-infusion, water volume, and brewing pressure can be set per group head. The digital display visualizes brewing pressure on the puck, pre-infusion, and extraction time in real-time – including an individual pressure profile. Below, La Marzocco's saturated group head works to maintain a very stable temperature, along with Pro-Touch steam wands and stainless steel portafilters with precision baskets.
An energy-saving mode automatically lowers the boiler temperature after a longer idle period – you can activate it for a single group or for the whole machine. Operation optionally with fixed water connection or integrated tank, connection to a standard household 220V socket.

Installation, delivery and service
Availability and delivery will be discussed individually with you after purchase. With every new coffee machine from CHF 1'500, a private barista introduction course of around 60 minutes is included – in Bern, Zurich or online, for up to two people from the same household or company attending together. The course must take place within one month of delivery; after that, the entitlement expires. Get in touch with us for the course and we'll find a date together. For on-site commissioning, we recommend installation and a scale protection filter. Feel free to ask questions in advance via [email protected] or by phone during business hours. We will advise you personally in our showrooms in Bern and Zurich.
What goes with it
For café operation, the right grinder from the Mahlkönig range, for machine maintenance cleaning agents. You can find the rest of the La Marzocco range in the La Marzocco Collection.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Leva X for home or for a café?
Both. It runs on a 220V socket and is suitable for cafés that want to work with the lever, as well as for demanding home setups.
What does the display show?
Brewing pressure on the puck, pre-infusion and extraction time in real-time – including the individual pressure profile of each shot.
Tank or fixed water connection?
Both are possible. The Leva X runs with an integrated tank or a fixed water connection.
How does delivery work?
We will clarify availability and delivery date individually with you after purchase.
Can I see the Leva X before buying?
That depends on whether the Leva X is on display right now. Our showrooms in Bern (Gerberngasse 44) and Zurich Oerlikon (Hagenholzstrasse 50b) show a wide selection, but not our entire range – it is too large for that, and the display changes. Drop us a quick line at [email protected] before your visit, and we will check whether the Leva X is currently there.
Roastery Tip
A lever machine rewards a calm, longer pre-infusion – especially with dense roasts. Our Cozy Chocolate becomes particularly well-rounded with it. As a roastery, we also supply cafés with freshly roasted beans – talk to us, we will put together a profile that suits your business. This is our recommendation, one of many.
