The Loewe Aura Pure is a premium portafilter espresso machine that brings the German brand's renowned design sensibility into the world of speciality coffee. Known primarily for their televisions and audio products, Loewe's move into coffee marks an expansion of their lifestyle range, applying the same emphasis on build quality, materials, and industrial design that defines their electronics.
Precision Grinding
At the heart of the Aura Pure is an integrated stainless steel conical burr grinder with 66 grind settings, covering the full range from fine espresso through to coarse French press. The grinder features anti-static technology that reduces static charge during grinding, ensuring even dispensing directly into the portafilter. Both a single and double portafilter basket are included, with oak wood handles that match the machine's design language.
Three-Thermoblock Heating System
The Aura Pure uses a three-thermoblock system that brings the machine to operating temperature in approximately two minutes. Separate thermoblocks handle the brewing head, steam generation, and overall machine heating independently. This architecture allows simultaneous espresso extraction and milk steaming — there is no need to wait between pulling a shot and frothing milk. The system delivers 15 bar of water pressure, monitored via a professional analogue pressure gauge on the front panel.
Steam and Milk
The no-burn steam wand features a two-hole nozzle with 360-degree rotation and five adjustable steam levels. The wand is fully descalable for long-term maintenance. A 350 ml stainless steel milk pitcher in matching basalt grey is included.
Pre-Infusion and Extraction Control
A programmable pre-infusion function offers 10 settings, gently saturating the coffee puck before full pressure is applied to improve flavour extraction. An integrated grinder timer allows precise pre-setting of coffee powder weight, while an adjustable extraction timer enables fine-tuning of the brewing process to suit personal taste.
Design and Build
The machine body is constructed from matt steel in basalt grey, with integrated real wood accents in red oak. The removable 2.5-litre water tank includes a replaceable water filter. A removable drip tray simplifies cleaning. The complete accessory set — portafilters, tamper, tamper mat, milk pitcher, cleaning brush, and microfibre cleaning cloth — all share the same basalt grey and oak design language.
