Elektra Micro Casa Leva S1

The spring-piston lever mechanism provides consistent, controlled pressure throughout the extraction process. Unlike manual levers that rely entirely on your arm strength, this spring-loaded system ensures you get a stable, professional-grade pull every time you brew.

While it is a stunning piece of equipment, the Micro Casa Leva has a learning curve. Because it is a manual lever machine, you will need to develop a rhythm for your grind size and tamping technique to achieve the best results, making it better suited for enthusiasts who enjoy the craft of espresso.

The 800-watt heating element typically brings the 1.8-liter brass boiler to operating temperature in about 10 to 15 minutes. We recommend letting it sit for a few extra minutes to ensure the group head is fully heat-soaked for optimal thermal stability.

No, this is a single-boiler machine. You must pull your espresso shot first and then switch to steam mode, or vice versa, as the boiler cannot maintain both brewing and steaming temperatures simultaneously.

The machine features a convenient sight glass on the side of the boiler, allowing you to visually check the water level at a glance. It is important to keep an eye on this, as running the boiler dry can damage the heating element.

Because the boiler is made of brass, it is durable, but you should use filtered or soft water to prevent scale buildup over time. Regular descaling according to the manufacturer's guidelines will keep the internal components clean and ensure the steam pressure remains consistent.
