The Elektra Verve is a 1-group semi-automatic dual boiler espresso machine that merges professional Italian craftsmanship with modern connectivity. Handmade in Treviso, Italy, it features a stainless steel body with elegant wood accents on the side panels, knobs, and 58mm portafilter handle, delivering a striking presence in any home bar, office, or boutique cafe. Its independent dual boiler system — a brass coffee boiler and a high-capacity stainless steel steam boiler — provides precise PID-controlled temperature management for both brewing and steaming, while the fully saturated brew group ensures exceptional thermal stability shot after shot. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity allow baristas to customise brewing temperature, pre-infusion time, and recipes directly from a smartphone app.
FEATURES
- Dual Boiler System – Independent brass coffee boiler (0.14 L) and stainless steel steam boiler (1.6 L) deliver simultaneous brewing and steaming with no thermal compromise between the two functions.
- PID Temperature Control – Individual PID controllers for each boiler allow precise, independent temperature programming for the coffee boiler (up to 95 C) and the steam boiler, ensuring repeatable extractions.
- Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Connectivity – Connect directly to the machine via its built-in Wi-Fi or Bluetooth without a dedicated app download; adjust pre-infusion duration, brewing temperature, and save custom recipes from your smartphone.
- Fully Saturated Brew Group – A commercial-grade saturated brew group thermally integrated with the brass coffee boiler provides superior heat stability — a feature typically reserved for high-end commercial machines.
- Rotary Pump – A whisper-quiet commercial rotary pump delivers consistent brew pressure and supports both reservoir and direct plumb-in operation.
- Flexible Water Connection – Switches effortlessly between the built-in 5 L open-top reservoir (with integrated water softener cartridge) and a direct mains water line; mod kits for direct connect and external drain are included.
- Patented Joystick Steam and Hot Water Controls – Elektra’s patented joystick steam wand moves in any direction to produce powerful, adjustable dry steam via a 4-hole steam tip; a second joystick provides instant access to boiling water for tea or Americanos.
- Manual Lever Shot Activation – Shots are initiated via a classic manual lever, adding a tactile, nostalgic element to the workflow.
- Dual-Scale Pressure Gauge – A single gauge displays both pump pressure and steam boiler pressure simultaneously, giving real-time feedback on machine status.
- Programmable Auto-Backflush – Simplifies routine cleaning and group head maintenance with an automated backflush cycle.
- Adjustable Cup Clearance – A raised brew group accommodates taller cups; a removable cup riser is included to accommodate smaller vessel sizes.
- Wood Accents – Side panels, knobs, and the 58mm portafilter handle feature natural wood (oak option available), with stainless steel body and brushed-metal legs for a refined, handcrafted aesthetic.
- Handmade in Italy – Manufactured by Elektra in Treviso, Italy, with over 50 years of heritage in the specialty coffee industry.
