Only worked on one lever machine (one of these), for around 3 months. I honestly never had a bad espresso from it.

Had a play on the new La Mazocco Leva at Glasgow Coffee Festival, pretty fun piece of machinery. You engage the lever at the max pressure you want, then hold it for manual preinfusion and release. It then runs a long and slow descending pressure profile as the piston closes off the water flow. You can see it happening as the internals are all exposed. They were pulling a Panama Geisha at 60 seconds, which is ludicrous on paper but tasted delicious.
