A breakthrough in portable coffee technology, the Leverpresso Orbit is a manual lever espresso machine engineered by Kim Hyunsoo of HUGH Inc. This innovative device redefines coffee preparation by focusing on mechanical transparency, ease of transport, and robust construction, all without requiring any electronic components.
This unique machine operates entirely through human power, allowing users to precisely manage the pressure and flow during the extraction process. By eliminating complex electronics and automated systems, the Leverpresso Orbit offers a direct, tactile brewing experience. A notable design element is its utilization of a standard 54.8 mm portafilter basket, a size commonly associated with professional espresso equipment. This ensures superior extraction quality and broad compatibility with existing espresso accessories, distinguishing it from many smaller, less versatile portable models.
Crafted predominantly from metal, the Leverpresso Orbit by HUGH Inc. is built for stability, optimal thermal performance, and exceptional durability, underscoring a commitment to lasting utility over disposability. Its streamlined dimensions are the result of meticulous engineering, striking an ideal balance between structural integrity and portability. This device needs only hot water, ground coffee, and manual force, making it perfectly suited for use in diverse environments such as travel, outdoor adventures, or minimalist living, where electrical power may be scarce or intentionally avoided. Far from being a mere replacement for conventional espresso makers, the Leverpresso Orbit provides a distinct, manually driven alternative that upholds the rigorous technical standards of espresso crafting while emphasizing compact design and mechanical clarity.
This innovative manual espresso machine champions the art of coffee making through active engagement and robust design, fostering a deeper connection between the user and their daily ritual, promoting sustainable practices, and encouraging a more mindful consumption experience.
