Manual Espresso Maker
An espresso lever machine, or , uses a hand-operated lever to brew espresso. In contrast to contemporary automated models, lever machines empower you to oversee the entire brewing procedure. The basic principle remains consistent: pressurize a small quantity of water through finely ground coffee beans to yield a potent and flavorful cup of espresso.
While there is a learning curve and regular maintenance required, the dual frothing cappuccino systems and large boiler capacity make it a great choice for entertaining or for use at home or in a small café.It has a small footprint so it can easily be set up on your kitchen counter.
Spring Piston Operated
With spring piston operated lever machines, you use a manual lever to oversee the extraction process. This simple and interactive method enables you to make precise modifications while brewing. By adjusting pressure, flow rate, and extraction duration, you can craft your ideal espresso shot.
Brass Piston for Durability
Unlike many other machines that utilize plastic pistons in the grouphead, the Elektra Microcasa Leva stands out with its brass piston housing two piston gaskets. Plastic pistons are prone to becoming brittle and cracking due to the high heat in the group head over time, while the brass piston in the Elektra serves as an excellent addition for preserving heat within the group head.
1.8L Brass Boiler
Even though brass is more expensive than aluminum or stainless steel, its superior performance significantly enhances the quality of espresso produced by the machine. The high thermal conductivity of brass leads to a noticeable improvement in the temperature consistency of espresso shots during brewing.
Boiler Gauge
The pressure gauge on espresso machines is vital for producing top-notch espresso. It shows the pressure used to extract the coffee, ensuring that water passes through the grounds in the portafilter at the right force. Keeping this pressure steady is key to making excellent espresso shots every time.
Water Level Sight Glass
The water level sight glass on the boiler is an essential feature that provides a visual indication of the water level inside the boiler. This is particularly useful when filling the boiler, as it helps to prevent overfilling and ensures that the water level is at the appropriate level for safe and efficient operation.
Safety in Mind
This home espresso machine come with a couple of hand safety features. It has a boiler pressure relief valve on top, in case too much pressure builds up. Elektra made sure to have the handles made of Bakelite to keep touches cool. It also comes with a built-in safety thermostat prevents meltdown if left without water.
