About Elektra espresso machines

Espresso machines have quite the history, having evolved exponentially over the past 100 years. In this regard, Elektra espresso machines stand out for their elegant fusion of traditional craftsmanship and innovative technology. Born in 1947 near Venice, in Treviso, Italy, Elektra has pioneered the art of espresso making with a commitment to excellence that has spanned generations. Today, the company remains family-owned, ensuring that each espresso machine not only brews espresso but also continues a legacy.

The Elektra Aesthetic

Drawing inspiration from the Italian luxury and the inventiveness of Nobel Prize winner Guglielmo Marconi, who named his yacht Elettra, Elektra espresso machines reflect a dedication to aesthetic and functional perfection. Known for their distinctive metallic finishes, especially in brass and copper, these machines are not just tools for brewing but also a statement of style. They feature a classic design adorned with a crowned eagle, symbolizing victory and trust, making them a centerpiece in any café or home.

Using Your Elektra Espresso Machine

Using an Elektra coffee machine is a delight. For those with lever espresso machine models, such as the Micro Casa a Leva, the process involves filling the boiler with water, warming up the machine, and manually pulling the lever to brew a shot with perfect pressure. The tactile experience of pulling a shot is both rewarding and engaging, offering control over every cup. For automated models, intuitive controls and programmable settings make brewing effortless while still allowing for personalization of every espresso shot.

Maintenance of Elektra Lever Coffee Machines

Maintaining an Elektra coffee machine involves a combination of regular cleaning, descaling, and occasional deeper maintenance to ensure the machine continues to operate at its best. Daily, the brew group should be rinsed under running water to remove coffee oil residues, ensuring that no residues clog the system. For models such as the Mini Vertical, it is advised to perform this cleaning weekly with the machine powered on to maintain proper function and hygiene .

Descaling is crucial, particularly if you have hard water. The frequency of descaling depends on the water hardness, but generally, Elektra machines will prompt you when a descaling cycle is necessary. It’s important to use the recommended descaler and follow the specific instructions provided in the manual to avoid damaging the machine. After descaling, a rinse cycle with clean water must be performed to ensure no descaling solution remains in the machine . Regular attention to these maintenance tasks will prolong the life of your Elektra coffee machine and ensure it continues to produce the best quality espresso.
