The Elektra Micro Casa Leva espresso machines while visually stunning is the ultimate lever machine designed to extract the perfect espresso with minimal noise, while replicating the design and lever operation of the oldest traditional espresso machines found throughout Europe.
Features
Although some people feel it is extremely difficult to make espressos by using lever machines, this is simply is not the case. The lever operation makes consistent extractions from pull to pull, as Elektra has provided precision pump pressure from the placement of the spring in the piston. The lever starts in an upward position, the user pulls down against the spring until coffee fills the bottom of the demitasse cup, then the lever is slowly released and the spring in the piston pushes the lever to pump the water through the coffee grinds. Elektra, at the smart choice for exceptional tasting espresso.
