Overview
The Ponte Vecchio Export is a compact spring lever machine that brings lever espresso into smaller kitchens at a more accessible price point. The 800ml brass boiler provides adequate thermal mass for consistent single shots, though back-to-back extractions require brief recovery time. Like its larger sibling the Lusso, the Export features a modern 58mm group head that accepts standard commercial baskets — unusual and valuable in the lever segment. The spring-loaded lever provides automatic pressure profiling with a natural declining curve. Steam capability from the single boiler allows milk texturing between shots. The compact dimensions make the Export one of the smallest lever machines available. Chrome-finished brass construction provides both durability and visual appeal. The Export is ideal for single-dose espresso enthusiasts who appreciate the unique character of lever extraction and want a compact, beautiful machine that produces shots with remarkable clarity and body at a reasonable price.
The Ponte Vecchio Export comes equipped with pre-infusion for even extraction, pressure profiling for advanced shot manipulation. It features a single boiler boiler system made of brass with a 800 ml capacity. The manual lever pump delivers consistent pressure for optimal extraction.
Priced at $999, the Ponte Vecchio Export is designed for serious home baristas who want café-quality espresso. As a lever machine, it offers a hands-on, tactile brewing experience that many espresso purists find deeply satisfying.
In terms of build quality, the Ponte Vecchio Export is a substantial machine, weighing in at 11.0 kg, manufactured in Italy, drawing 800W of power. With dimensions of 230 x 350 x 420 mm (W×D×H), make sure you have adequate counter space. The built-in water reservoir holds 800 ml, making it easy to set up anywhere in your kitchen.
