It’s a heat exchanger that allows you to brew and steam at the same time and without waiting between brewing and steaming. Elektra Microcasa SemiautomaticaĪs the name implies this Elektra product is a semi-automatic machine that has a pump for brewing and for refilling the water tank. The design of the machine is simple in terms of electronics, so other than normal wear and tear items like gaskets, these machines tend to run and run and run. With the Elektra lever, the boiler is the water tank. Elektra machines have a lower extraction pressure than most pump espresso machines, which has a positive effect on flavor. With a spring lever machine like the Elektra, the extraction pressure is based on the contraction of a spring, which makes the extraction more repeatable since it’s the same every time.

With traditional manual lever machines, the extraction pressure is entirely dependent on how the home barista applies pressure with the lever. These machines are spring lever machines, which, when compared to traditional lever machines, they provide more consistency during extraction. They are all identical other than having a different look due to the metals used to make the exterior look and feel.
