Superkop is a nifty espresso-making device intended for everyday home use. It’s operated by hand, so it requires no electricity or warm-up time. This no-nonsense, low-maintenance countertop tool can also be wall-mounted.
The Superkop sits on a wooden base and features a powder-coated aluminum body and steel inner parts. The lever and the 58mm-diameter portafilter are made of polished stainless steel, while the water cup is made from polycarbonate material, perfect for keeping the water warm.
While a regular manual espresso machine’s lever pushes a piston to send water through coffee grounds in one firm motion, the Superkop uses a 1:40 displacement mechanism. This gradually applies more pressure through five or six smooth and easy pumps or strokes.
The one-way valve lets a pneumatic spring smoothly bring the lever back to its original position while keeping the pressure intact between pumps. There’s a button to release pressure once the extraction is finished. Also, a safety valve is there to release pressure at 20 bars.
You will receive your complete Superkop in a stand-alone version with a wooden stand. As an optional add-on you can order a wall set to convert the stand-alone Superkop to a wall mounted version.
