Elektra Belle Epoque espresso machine
(Volumetric)

Machine
Description

Elektra Belle Epoque’s turn-of-the-century styling and eagle-topped dome make it one of the most stunning and distinctive espresso machines available. This full-size vertical machine is hand-built with many artistic touches, from it’s meticulously sculptured inlays to it’s wooden or Briarwood coloured bakelite appointments.

Beautiful screw-type steam controls usher powerful jets designed to easily micro-foam milk, while the built-in cup-warming  compartment inside the dome accommodates several to several dozen cups. The patented disc-shaped boiler gives it the highest tea-water and steam capacity in its category.

Belle Epoque comes with standard Volumetric programming, which allows a barista to program 4 espresso shot volumes per group, thereby pulling shots at that exact volume every time. Shots are more consistent between users and – because the barista doesn’t have to monitor the espresso – there is more time to interact with customers or begin another order.

Comes in a highly polished Chrome or Copper & Brass finish, and a limited-edition distressed brass version called “Riforma”, each with wooden or briarwood-coloured accents.
