The Stradivari is a smaller compact manual lever espresso machine of high quality.

Ideal for the coffee enthusiast, it not only looks impressive, but functions superbly to make easy work of the entire range of gourmet coffee drinks, such as espresso, cappuccino, latte, or mocha. The Stradivari has the advantages of being very compact, lightweight and silent in use.

The power to make the espresso is generated by the human arm, not a noisy electric pump. After a short warm up period of around 5-10 minutes, coffee can be made or steam is available for foaming milk to make that creamy hot chocolate or cappuccino.

It has a solid construction, extremely good build quality, quality, simplicity and a tried and proved design (more than 50 years), resulting in a machine that does everything it should do and does it reliably.

Maintenance is easy and cheap for these machines and they could literally last a lifetime with appropriate maintenance regime.

If you live in a very hard water area, the Stradivari will cope with it much better than electrically pumped machines and descaling these machines is exceptionally easy.
