The Italian espresso machine manufacturer is mainly famous about their classic design brass/copper coffee machines. Some people hate them, some just love them. but you know one thing for sure, it is always a eye catcher.
The story of Elektra begins just after the 2nd world war, 1947. The espresso machine brand wasn’t called Elektra by then, but La Tarvisum. This is a reference to the latin name of the location where the company was founded, Trevisio, close to venice. The name change came in 1965.
From the founding in 1947 of the Elektra coffee machine company there have been multiple patents. In the 1950ies a automatic dispensing unit, in the 1960’s seal free water level regulation. In 1968 was the founding of a automatic dosing unit, controlled by a solenoid valve. In 1968 the electronic 5 dose dispensing was patented by Elektra. Based on the patents you can see the development of the modern espresso machine.
The Italian manufacturer Elektra is not really well know for their broad assortment of lever operated espresso machines. Mainly because they only have the Elektra Microcasa a Leva. Most of their espresso machines are manual operated (e61 style of brewing group) or they are solenoid valve operated.
The spring operated Elektra Microcasa is the only manual brewing group the Italian manufacturer produces. It does have some similarities with the La Pavoni Europiccola, but the design is completely different. Seen this espresso machine uses a spring, instead of manual force.
What the Elekatra Microcasa a leva makes quite unique is that they use a high polish brass and copper as a surface finish, it is also available in chrome but less common.
This version does have some similarities with the Lever operated model. But that is solely aesthetically. Seen this version of the Microcasa is a pump and solenoid valve operated espresso machine. If you want the ease of a modern espresso machine, and the aesthetics of a Lever operated coffee machine, this is the one for you.
