Know before you buy
Yes. Because the Elba IV V01 uses a heat exchanger boiler system, you can pull your espresso shot and steam your milk simultaneously without waiting for the machine to change temperatures.
The E61 group head is a professional-grade component known for its excellent thermal stability. It helps maintain a consistent water temperature throughout the extraction process, which is essential for a balanced, high-quality espresso.
Mechanical pre-infusion gently saturates the coffee grounds with water before applying full pressure. This helps prevent channeling and ensures a more even extraction, resulting in a richer, more nuanced flavor profile.
Yes, the Elba IV V01 is equipped with a pump stop system. If the water level in the 5.2L tank drops too low, the machine will automatically stop the pump to protect it from running dry.
Absolutely. With its robust stainless steel construction and a generous 5.2L water reservoir, it is built to handle the higher volume of a small office while maintaining the performance of a professional home machine.
The machine measures 23.5 cm in width, 43 cm in depth, and 40 cm in height. Keep in mind that it weighs 35kg, so ensure your countertop is sturdy enough to support the weight.
