  • Lever press GS3

    I understand that some people will think that messing with an already phenomenal coffee machine like the GS3 is sacrilege.

    But I came across this modified GS3 at Coffee Machine Technologies in Docklands Melbourne. It obviously caught my attention given it has a nice spring piston lever installed.

    Pulled a couple of shots with the guys and I was extremely impressed with the extraction and pour.

    Apologies in advance, I have no idea on what sort of spring lever is installed nor the technicalities behind it. I also know that I should pay more attention to these sort of details.

    I liked it so much that I purchased it and thought it was worth sharing.

    Now what to do with the Kees Speedster.

    Thanks for looking.

        The GS3 looks impressive!

        Didn't you just get rid of a GS3? (Obviously without lever)

          Good memory! Yes I did. You can't beat the GS3, modified or not. The lever press GS3 just looks cool and like I said, the shots I was pulling was a level above. This was just running off the water tank... I couldn't resist.

            That is a great recommendation based on your last two machines.

              Hardly sacrilege old chap. Converting it to lever made it into a proper machine. I mean, what else is there?

                After having a squiz around it seems it's a Bosco group. One of the most well sorted lever groups available these days.

                How appropriate it should go on a well sorted GS3 back end. Not quite a vintage Faema or Gaggia group but a cracker nontheless.

                  If that was an impulse buy, I'd hate to see what you come home with if you do research :-)

                    Yep, it's the 58mm group on the Astoria/Bosco/Londinium/Achille.

                        That really is an awesomely beautiful machine. I love the black and chrome along with the mix of modern and classical lines.

                        You must be well chuffed and knowing the beautiful nectar levers make I am sure you are enjoying the results in the cup.

                        Jealous.... maybe a teeny tiny bit

                          Looks awesome mate, I'd be happy to take the speedster off your hands as well.

                            I did see this (or something like this) on Insta and was blown away! Amazing machine.

                              Looks cool, and 1 of 1 in the world?
                              Whats the advantage of the lever conversion?
