Thermal Stability
Insulated Core.
Brew at the perfect temperature every time by combining the boiling brew water with the Brua3 Max insulated brew-chamber.
Insulating the core of a manual espresso machine means there is minimal heat-loss through the cylinder wall, maintaining the perfect temperature for extraction and flavourful espresso.
Sleek & Stylish
Simplicity & Control.
Focused on function, perfected for manual espresso enjoyment. The Brua3 Max is the ultimate contrast of minimalism combined with exceptional functionality.
Never miss a shot
Direct Lever Espresso.
Direct lever manual espresso machines directly connect the handle and lever to the piston using a piston rod (without springs).
This gives direct lever espresso machines a distinct advantage when pressure profiling and offers complete flow control in the palm of your hand.

Absolutely loving the Brua3 Max! The build quality is great and it pulls delicious espresso. My only small concern is whether the lever is durable enough for long-term heavy use, as I am always a bit paranoid about bending it while applying pressure! Overall, it's a fantastic machine.

best lever ever

Gorgeous design and aesthetic. Quality product build. Impeccable service. Pulls delicious coffee. The Brua3 Max is perfect for my daily coffee therapy needs!
Extra emphasis on the great service from Newton Espresso, I stuffed up one of the screws on assembling the Brua3 and reached out for some help. Hayden was super responsive, and went the extra mile to sort me out. Thank you so much!

Just perfect
Can make a perfect espresso at home

La verdad que una elegancia, lo mejor de todo es que puedo controlar la presión y el grupo es E61, es súper estética y no ocupa tanto espacio 10/10

I've always been fascinated by how well newton espresso designs their products. I'm all for the minimalist design + functionality. The Newton Espresso BRUA is such a great addition to my minimal coffee setup. I like that it has a drip tray, the pressure gauge (life saver~ esp. for beginners) a 58mm porta filter (which I can play around with in case I want a customized porta). Lastly, it makes great coffee!!

I’ve used the Brua3 Max for a couple of weeks now. It’s a pleasure using it! I always loved the idea of taking your time and enjoying the process of manual brewing your coffee. This machine pulls really yummy shots. Best of all the looks! 😍 that matte black and slim profile will fit perfectly on any counter tops.

A piece of art in coffee making! This machine is a great example of hard work and it didn’t disappoint! Easy to control the pressure and insulation in the brewing chamber makes it so much easier to pull great tasting espresso! And once you get a grip on it and workout your perfect workflow it becomes an everyday experience you want to come back to! Well done 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

After a long wait since the Brua S2, I finally purchased my first manual lever espresso machine, and I am extremely satisfied. Although I'm still in the trial-and-error phase, it makes it easy to produce excellent espresso. I was initially concerned about the chamber's heat retention, but it's remarkably efficient, allowing me to extract espresso that's sufficiently hot, and pressure control is straightforward. Since it was a pre-order, the first unit had a defect, so I had to exchange it once, but the customer service was outstanding and friendly, and the issue was resolved quickly.

The shipping was very fast.
The design is simple, clean, and beautiful—it looks like a piece of art even when placed on my desk.
I was able to make delicious espresso successfully with it.
One thing I really appreciate is being able to clean the machine thoroughly.
This simple and thoughtful design makes me enjoy using it even more.
Regarding the deep cleaning steps in the user manual, it would be even better if there were a video demonstration available.

Nice and easy to use. Great that you can do a pre-infusion at 1 or 2 bar pressure before increasing. Hasn't taken long to get used to. The workflow is nice and easy once you get the hang of it.

I recently purchased the Brua3 Max from Newton Espresso and I regret to say that I cannot recommend it to international buyers. The product arrived with a broken pressure gauge and while I understand that shipping issues can occur the overall experience has been disappointing.
I immediately reported the issue and was promised a replacement. However it’s been over four weeks, and I am still waiting for the part, which has rendered the product unusable in the meantime. To make matters worse the company’s return policy does not allow for a return, leaving me stuck with a faulty machine that I cannot even send back for a refund or exchange.
For international buyers the combination of long wait times for replacements and a restrictive return policy makes this purchase risky and frustrating. While the Brua3Max might be a good product when functioning as intended my experience with the broken gauge, poor customer service, and inability to return the item has left me thoroughly dissatisfied. I hope Newton Espresso reevaluates its policies and support for overseas customers.
Hi Steven,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with the Brua3 Max. I sincerely regret that your experience has not been a positive one. I would like to clarify that while our return policy does allow for returns and refunds, customers are required to send the product back to us.
I understand that shipping delays, especially during the Christmas period, can be frustrating, and I apologise that this has affected your replacement part. I strive for high customer service standards as many positive reviews will support, but I am genuinely sorry that you feel I fell short in your case.
I appreciate your feedback and hope to improve our services for international customers in the future.

I have been using the Newton Brua since its inception and I have found it easy to use, with an enjoyably efficient workflow. I have now purchased the Newton Brua3 Max. (2024)
This machine is beautiful to look at, fun to use, and makes a seriously good coffee. Brua Max3 has amplified the original design and I absolutely recommend it. I am finding new heights in manual espresso making.
V
Love the Brua3Max. Customer service was excellent and very prompt with their response. It's a really beautiful product and my husband raves about it. He uses it daily and enjoys the process of making his morning coffee.
J
Love the attention to detail.
Suits my aesthetic perfectly! Not only does it look great, but it makes really good espresso.
B
The most enjoyable espresso maker I have ever used!!
Before using the Brua3 Max I thought making good espresso required an expensive automatic machine like the one in the office at work, but the the Brua3 with the insulated brew chamber has completely changed my mind. Now I find I get better coffee with the Brua3 and it's so much more fun to use!
Highly recommend A++

Our products are (almost) bullet-proof and we have designed them with longevity in mind!
Although wear and tear over time is normal for any product, we consider this to be aesthetic only (scratches or marks). The only exception is the wear on the seals and pivot pins which we expect to last many years before needing to be replaced.
Newton Espresso (NE) guarantees to replace or refund any faulty product, and offers a 5 year warranty on all metal components on the Brua3.
Orders are shipped as soon as possible - usually same day or next from when the order was placed. We allow 3-5 working days for transit times (excluding boarder clearance).
Your Brua3 Max will arrive mostly assembled. All you need to do is fit the base to the stand and attach the wooden handle.
Included in your package is a premium full size stainless steel tamper.
Not included in your package is an espresso grinder for grinding the coffee beans.
Don't worry, your machine isn't faulty! The seals inside the Brua3 come lubricated with food-grade silicone for smooth operation. This can take a few uses to wear in and allow the valve inside to close fully.
To speed up the process, operate the lever arm several times and wipe the inside of the water reservoir with a dry cloth. Repeat a few times.
