Espresso purists know that control is everything, which is the great thing about lever machines, they give you great control over extraction pressure and rate of extraction. Feedback throught the handle allows you to "feel" the extraction and tune your coffee grind accordingly.
Lever espresso machines make coffee in the same way as a commercial espresso machine using the same amount of coffee and producing the same volume of espresso. The main difference is that rather than using an electric pump to extract the coffee, the lever is raised drawing water into the brewing system and then pressed down to force the water through the coffee.
