Izzo Alex Leva is a spring-lever machine with a dedicated group ("Izzo Group Spring Lever") of 53 mm diameter: the manufacturer describes it as working on the same principle as the professional Pompei and Izzo machines, but in a much smaller footprint. The boiler is single, copper, 5 litres. The manufacturer states the pump is not included as standard and is available only on request as an external version: in standard operation the machine therefore runs without an electric pump.
Temperature control is handled by an electronic PID, and the manufacturer states a pressure gauge dedicated to boiler pressure. The water supply is stated only via a mains connection, with automatic drip tray drainage available; no tank capacity is stated, since the model is designed for direct hookup. Stated dimensions are 37x45x55 cm for a weight of 46 kg; the manufacturer states power supply in two standards, 220V and 110V, both rated at 1450W.
The manufacturer also states there is no integrated shot timer, and does not specify the heat-up time.
