What is the group head lever
The lever is the control element of the coffee machine's group head, used by the barista to start and stop the flow of hot water through the portafilter. Through a mechanism, it transfers force to a piston or valve that regulates the pressure of the water passing through the coffee puck, directly influencing the course of extraction.
Signs of wear
A worn or damaged lever shows itself through stiff, sticking, or conversely too loose movement, uneven pressure during coffee preparation, play in the mounting, or mechanical noise when handling. The result is unstable extraction and inconsistent coffee taste, and in worse cases, water leaking outside the group head.
When it's time for a replacement
A worn lever puts extra strain on the other components of the group head and can cause them to wear out or become damaged faster. Timely replacement keeps the group head running smoothly and safely and ensures stable coffee quality.
