The Argos eliminates the traditional complexities of a manual lever machines yet still allows the user to participate in the beautiful art of making espresso. Our modular design allows users to change between spring and direct manual lever profiles. The Argos has adjustable brew temperatures from 88C - 96C with a separate “Steam Mode” enacted at the push of a button bringing the boiler up to 3 bar / 130 °C. Users can typically achieve 4 double shots with a yield between 36g - 48g (depending on pre-infusion, bean, and grind settings) as well as steaming milk before needing to refill. All machines are hand assembled and tested in our Denver, Colorado workshop. This pre-order is for a Batch 4 Argos containing updates such as improved steam valve o-ring, ceramic anti-vacuum valve ball, simplified piston assembly, and optimized shower screen flow. Our current estimated wait time is 4 months. Please note that this is an estimate, and occasional delays may occur due to production and supply factors. Please see this blog post for more details about what has changed batch to batch and how to upgrade your machine. Order cancellations are refunded 97% of the purchase price (3% processing fee applies). This applies to all payment methods including credit cards, PayPal, Shopify Payments, etc.
