Machine
Description
Elektra K-UP has a minimalist open styling and optional illuminated side panels making it one of the most unique espresso machines available. There is a large open work tray and enough height for even your tallest cups, with two risers included if your prefer to use shorter cups on one or both groups.
Patented joystick steam controls usher powerful steam by pressing them in any direction to easily micro-foam milk; but the two steam wands are grouped together on the left side while the brew groups are together on the right, allowing two Baristas to operate side by side, like an assembly-line. This layout can increase efficiency when very busy, and is ideal for busy rushes such as in a banquet hall setting. And one steam wand can be replaced with the Milk Frothing System that automatically steams milk to a temperature and texture you can program, which can improve efficiency even further.
Brew tempurature can be adjusted electronically (for different coffee profiles) and comes with an 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.
This espresso machine comes with a Stainless Steel front, maple-wood accents, and either a Matte Black or White Enamel finish.

STEAM WAND OPTIONS
The Elektra K-UP can be purchased with 1 left side automatic steam wand (additional charge applies).
The MFC Milk Frothing System replaces the manual steam handle with a button. Once pressed, the modified wand steams the milk while monitoring the temperature with an integrated probe.
MFC requires no input from the barista to texture the milk; the barista simply places the wand in the pitcher of cold milk and when it reaches the desired (programmed) temperature the steam automatically turns off, leading to a more consistent drink, regardless of the skill-level of the barista.
BODY OPTIONS (2)
The Elektra K-UP can be customized with the Body Lighting System (additional charge applies). The side panel emblems are lit from inside by multi-colored LED lights. You can set your favourite colors by choosing among the countless available shades.
The Elektra K-UP can also be customized with a wrap or a different paint colour (additional charge applies).
