Elektra MicroCasa Portafilter

Our company was founded in Treviso, a place where the tradition of craftsmanship has been perfectly integrated with the more recent fabric of high-tech companies. Elektra has sought to interpret this fascinating balance, applying it day-by-day to the production of coffee machines.

Elektra's constant technological evolution is shown by the numerous historical and essential international patents filed over the years, such as the first espresso machine with an automatic hydraulic unit created in 1950. Or the seal-free water level regulator designed as early as 1960, the automatic dispensing unit with solenoid valve created in 1968, and the electronic 5-dose dispensing control designed and used as a world first in 1978. The first fully automatic machine in 1984. For Elektra, innovation is not only technical, but also aesthetic: so in 1997, on the occasion of the company's 50th anniversary, the Barlume was presented, the first machine that combined the charm of retro style with the most advanced technologies. Finally, 2009 saw the presentation of a machine destined to make history with its bold design and cutting-edge technology: Aletta is the world's first machine with an automatic chlorine and limescale water purification system.

Elektra espresso machines are built according to the original principles of simplicity, efficiency and attention to design. They are manufactured according to an industrialised craft process. In Elektra, the human factor is irreplaceable. But the real secret lies in the experience and passion of our staff: specialised technicians who analyse brewing complexes and pressure boilers, juggling copper coils in an orderly and quiet environment, pervaded by the scent of coffee emanating from the machines being tested.
