Elektra Micro Casa a Leva

Overview

The Elektra Micro Casa a Leva is perhaps the most visually stunning espresso machine ever produced — a chrome and copper masterpiece that looks like it belongs in a turn-of-the-century Viennese café. The ornate design features a domed copper boiler on top, polished chrome body panels, decorative finials, and the iconic Elektra eagle perched atop the dome. But this is far more than a showpiece: beneath the beauty lies a serious lever espresso machine with a generous 1.8-liter copper boiler that provides excellent thermal stability and steaming power. The spring-loaded lever mechanism operates on the classic Italian principle — raise to fill, pull to extract — producing espresso with the characteristic declining pressure profile that yields sweet, complex, full-bodied shots. The copper boiler heats efficiently and retains temperature well between shots. A built-in pressure gauge monitors boiler pressure, and the commercial steam wand produces powerful, dry steam suitable for microfoam. The Micro Casa a Leva weighs a substantial 14 kg, reflecting its all-metal construction with copper, brass, and chrome components. For the buyer who views espresso as both a culinary art and an aesthetic experience, the Elektra is the ultimate convergence of form and function — a functional antique that produces genuinely excellent espresso.

The Elektra Micro Casa a Leva comes equipped with pre-infusion for even extraction, pressure profiling for advanced shot manipulation. It features a single boiler boiler system made of copper with a 1800 ml capacity. The manual lever pump delivers 8.0 bars of pressure for optimal extraction.

Priced at $2,100, the Elektra Micro Casa a Leva is designed for dedicated prosumers who demand professional-grade equipment. As a lever machine, it offers a hands-on, tactile brewing experience that many espresso purists find deeply satisfying.

In terms of build quality, the Elektra Micro Casa a Leva is a substantial machine, weighing in at 14.0 kg, manufactured in Italy, drawing 1200W of power. With dimensions of 300 x 300 x 420 mm (W×D×H), make sure you have adequate counter space. The built-in water reservoir holds 1800 ml, making it easy to set up anywhere in your kitchen.
