Hand operated precision
Traditional machines rely on electromechanical systems to generate the necessary nine bars of pressure for espresso. With the CT2, this pressure is produced entirely by hand. The robust lever action is low maintenance by design, and allows dynamic microadjustments throughout the brew. As you master your technique, the CT2 encourages you to trust your senses and reconnect with the coffeemaking process.
Minimalism in motion
Set your temperature and wait for the CT2 to warm up. When the lever is depressed, a column of heated water is driven through the ground coffee and into the cup. The 8mm brass group with integrated heater regulates water temperature throughout the extraction, and the naked portafilter reveals the quality of every shot you pull.
Complete control
Coffee is a natural product, producing different flavour notes based on the bean’s origin, roast profile, and age. With its responsive temperature dial and variable pressure control, the CT2 makes it easy to dial in any grade of espresso. Users of every level are rewarded with a richly aromatic brew, with limitless scope for fine-tuning and experimentation.
