Wiedemann ECM Brew Lever Olive
With every shot the lever sits in your hand: olive wood instead of plastic, topped by the chrome end cap you know from ECM.
Wiedemann lists the part as a brew group lever for ECM espresso machines. The shaft is turned from solid olive wood, the end cap is an original ECM part. The lever is fitted via an M8 internal thread.
The lever does not change extraction, it changes how pulling a shot feels. We brew espresso by weight and usually start at 1:2, so 18 g of coffee to around 36 g of espresso in the cup. Our opinion is one of many, what matters is that you enjoy it.

Tip from the roastery: For full-bodied espresso from your ECM we roast Cozy Chocolate and Nutty Delight, chocolatey and nutty. If you want maximum body without acidity, go for Very Nutty. For a fruity discovery there is Wild Peach. This is our recommendation, one of many.
