What customers say
Customer sentiment strongly favors the Elektra Mini Verticale for its iconic, museum quality design and robust, commercial grade build. Enthusiasts view this machine as functional art, appreciating the heavy chrome and brass components that suggest lasting quality. When mastered, it yields exceptional traditional espresso. However, this machine presents a steep learning curve due to its traditional lever operation and small boiler, requiring careful temperature management. It is decidedly not for beginners. For the dedicated aficionado prioritizing superb design and tradition, especially at a reduced price, this machine is considered an unparalleled and highly satisfying investment.
