How can I get a good crema?

The filter you will choose and the grind will have an impact on the crema, please make sure to read “What is the difference between the pressurized and non-pressurized filter?” and “Which grind is the more suitable?”

When you tamper the grind, make sure there are not any bubbles. If you use the tamper from our coffee maker, you would have to put more strength on it (up to 15kg) since it is made out of plastic. You could also purchase an iron tamper on our website so you would need less strength.

Which grind is the more suitable?

It is not recommended to use Extra Find grind (+0.4mm). When you buy the grind, you could directly ask for espresso grind. It is better to use the pressurized filter when using coarse beans.

I am curious about the Tritan durability.

If you are using our product following well the instructions, you do not have to worry about the product durability. Our product structure is quite simple and you can easily disassemble it or change a part. You could find all the spare parts on our website.

How can I order accessories and spare parts?

You could order it directly from our e-shop (hughinc.com).

What is the warranty period of the product?

The warranty period is 6 month after the purchase of the Leverpresso. There is free repair if there is a defect on the product during normal use. If you notice a defect on the product after the warranty period, please send a message at info@hughinc.com.

What is the difference between the pressurized and non-pressurized filter?

With the non-pressurized filter, you could adapt the pressure to get different tastes. However, if you want crema you will have to grind fresh beans yourself before use. Note that the beans have to be roasted less than 4 weeks before use, also do not use ground beans, grind coffee before use it.

When using the pressurized filter, you would have to put less strength for the pressurization. It makes it easier to extract the espresso but it will only give a certain flavor and you will not be able to adapt to your taste. In addition, if you extract too fast or if you use the stand the crema could be bubbly.

If you use a lever machine for the first time, it would be more comfortable and easier to use a pressurized filter. On the other hand, if you used the kind of extraction in the past, you could enjoy the extraction with the non-pressurized filter.

Could I use capsules or pods?

The actual products cannot be used with capsules or pods.

How to replace the O-ring?

Raise up the levers. There are bolts on both side of the levers, unscrew them with a coin. Detach the levers from the top. Slide the 2 clamps outward to release the cylinder. Grab the piston from the top and pull it gently so it detaches from the cylinder. You could release the O-ring from the piston with a screwdriver or using your fingers
