Consistent, controlled espresso at home.

Without the ability to control the extraction pressure and flow, achieving consistent quality is near impossible. The Brua3 Max manual lever espresso machine changes all that.

Full Control

Hand-driven pressure lets you profile each shot and taste the difference.

No Compromise Design

CNC-milled stainless steel — built to outlast anything electric.

100% Recyclable

Nothing will end up in landfill because every component can be recycled .

Designed for those who find satisfaction in the process — and perfection in the cup.

Real Espresso, Shot After Shot.

Beneath the minimalist design lies a pressure system capable of true 9-bar extractions — the same standard used in cafés worldwide.

The Brua3 Max gives you complete control of every variable — pre-infusion, pressure, and flow — so every shot can be tuned exactly to your taste.
