Aram

Buy Aram in Switzerland – Brazilian Lever Espresso Machines

Aram is a Brazilian manual lever espresso machine manufacturer, founded in 2016 in Curitiba (Paraná) by Maycon Aram and Juca Esmanhoto. The brand combines the classic lever principle with warm Brazilian wood craftsmanship – each Aram is a handcrafted tool that works without electricity. Coffee Coaching Club offers Aram in Switzerland.

What makes Aram distinctive

Three characteristics define the brand. First, the hand-operated lever principle: you manually press the lever – no pump, no electricity, complete pressure control in your hand. Second, the Brazilian wood tradition: Aram uses characteristic Brazilian noble wood for handles and accents – each machine is unique in its grain. Third, compact travel suitability: Aram can be stored relatively compactly – ideal for travel, camping, outdoor setups.

Who is Aram for?

Home baristas who value haptic directness over maximum comfort. Travelers and outdoor setups who want to operate without electricity. Lovers of manufactured goods with wood accents and Brazilian craftsmanship. Setups that cultivate a conscious espresso ritual instead of quick serving.
