Superkop Manual Espresso Machine
Making espresso at home can be a daunting task. For starters, an electric espresso machine that can generate adequate pressure and coffee quality to actually produce a coffee shop quality coffee can easily cost a thousand dollars. This is why lately we have been looking for cheaper alternatives for all espresso-lovers in addition to our Gaggia Classic Pro.
One of the first of those machines comes from Amsterdam, Netherlands.
Superkop is a manually operated, non-electric espresso machine that excels in taste. It is stylish, easy to use, and has been designed to last forever. It works using an innovative piston-system which creates an equal amount of pressure on every pull. The end result is a beautiful cup of espresso.
Another cool thing with the Superkop is that is works with the industry standard 58mm portafilters so you can find plenty of accessories for it from tampers, distributors and even other types of filter baskets.

- Flush hot water through the Superkop to preheat it and to enjoy even more extracted coffee
- Add the ground coffee to portafilter and the water to the water container (max 60ml), the 60ml line is indicated in the water container
- Start pulling the lever. With the smart design you cannot pull too fast or slow so you do not have to worry about creating too much or too little pressure. Unlike some other manual machines, this one does not take too much power to pull the lever
- Pull the lever 5-6 times depending of the amount of the water
- Enjoy the tasty espresso you just made
