Took me a couple of weeks of dialling in before I was pulling consistent shots, but that's the lever experience. Build quality is superb and it's a genuine centrepiece on the counter.
There's a learning curve with the lever but Izzo's build quality makes it forgiving to live with day to day — stable temps, solid steam. Worth it if you want to actually engage with the shot rather than just pressing a button.
The Alex Leva rewards a bit of practice but once you've got the pull dialled in the shots are noticeably sweeter and more textured than anything I got from my old pump machine. Gorgeous piece of engineering.
