The Athena by Victoria Arduino truly harnesses the ancient art of coffee creation. Born from a long line of machines, the first of these lever machines was crafted at the end of World War II, in 1946. They were the WAT series of espresso machines, ancestors of the exquisite Athena Leva, the first of which was made in late sixties in Casorate Sempione, Italy.

The materials used for the internal and external components make the espresso machine particularly remarkable. The bodywork was handcrafted by experts, perfectly preserving uniqueness and tradition that is also reflected in the final cup, a perfect espresso.

In typical manual espresso machines the water that enters the group is straight from the boiler, which is well known to have a pressure of 1 to 1.2 bar, corresponding to 250-270° Fahrenheit. It’s essentially the same water used to generate steam. Instead, in the Athena, it uses heat exchangers, the water temperature can be controlled to optimize the quality of extracted coffee. In this case, for an excellent pre-infusion, a special pressure reducer reduces the pressure of the water supply, which is normally 4 to 6 bar. With these specifications, coffee extractions with the Athena Leva are particularly creamy and not burnt (as may happen with water at high temperatures).

  • Manual Dosing - The Victoria Arduino Athena espresso machine offers manual dosing, allowing baristas to have full control over the coffee extraction process.
  • Cool Touch Wands - The steam wands on the Athena are designed with cool-touch technology, ensuring safety during milk frothing.
  • Surface LEDs - The machine features surface LEDs that provide illumination and add a modern touch to its design.
  • Bar Pump Gauge - The Athena is equipped with a pump pressure gauge, allowing baristas to monitor and control the pump pressure for precise coffee extraction.
  • Reverse Mirror - The machine includes a reverse mirror, providing an alternative view of the espresso extraction process.
  • Drain Required - A drain connection is required for proper wastewater disposal.
  • Autosteam Capable - The Athena is capable of auto-steaming, simplifying the milk frothing process for milk-based beverages.

Shipping Policy

Here at Comiso Coffee, we are continually striving to process and ship orders as soon as possible and thanks to our amazing business relationship with our suppliers, we no longer carry most inventory. Most orders are shipped directly from the manufacturer. This greatly improves our order processing speed while allowing us to focus on adding new products & brands to our catalog.

  • Orders are processed between Monday - Friday.
  • Our manufacturers do not process or ship during the weekend or holidays.
  • Order processing can take up to 48 hours (typically much sooner).
  • Orders ship via UPS or FEDEX
  • Order delivery is 4 - 10 business days after it ships.
  • Signature is required for delivery of most items. This is necessary for loss-prevention purposes.
  • Larger commercial-grade items ship via freight carrier. Transit time varies, but they typically arrive within 7 days of ship date.
  • Please attempt to keep the original packaging materials. Without the original packaging materials, damage in transit is very likely to occur.
  • Do not re-direct packages in transit. After an order has shipped, we will not be responsible for any item lost in transit due to package re-directs.

Orders placed before 3pm EST ( Monday - Friday ) will usually ship the same day.
