Elektra Microcasa a Leva S1/S1C/S1CO Espresso Machine
If you want exceptional espresso and an espresso machine that makes minimal noise in the morning, then you found the perfect machine – the Elektra Microcasa a Leva Espresso Machine. Although some people will contest that it is more difficult to make espresso with these lever machines, this is really not the case because the spring in the piston makes consistent pump pressure at each point from one pull to the next. Once again, for exceptional espresso, choose Elektra!

Manual Lever Operation
- Spring piston-operated grouphead: Lever starts in the upward position, the user pulls down against spring until coffee fills the bottom of your espresso cup, then the lever is slowly released and the spring in the piston pushes the lever to pump the water through the coffee grinds. If making double, it is important to pull the lever down a second time at the halfway point and released.
- Brass piston: While other machines may have plastic pistons in the grouphead, the Elektra Microcasa Leva has a brass piston to house 2 piston gaskets. Plastic pistons can get brittle and crack over time with all the heat in the grouphead whereas the brass piston in the Elektra is a great add-on to maintain heat within the grouphead.

Single Boiler System
- Durable brass: Provides exceptionally dry steam for creating microfoam.
- Water level sight glass: This indicates the level of water in the boiler. Helps when filling the boiler to prevent overfilling.
- Armor-plated heating element: Rated at 800 watts.
- Pressure gauge: This shows steam pressure in the boiler. The needle in the green zone indicates optimal time to extract espresso. Standard pressure ranges anywhere between 0.8 – 1.3 bar.
- Boiler pressure relief valve: This is located on top of the boiler for safety.
- Internal pressure regulator: Automatically regulates the temperature.
- Built-in safety thermostat: Prevents meltdown if left without water – please note that you can still damage the heating element if the machine is run dry (without water).

Mitchell (verified owner) –
After eleven years of pulling shots with a VBM, I purchased the Cooper and Brass Elektra Micro Casa a Lever a week ago. Kudos to 1st-line for getting it to me in 48 hours! (I use a Eureka for grinding.)
The Pros: Heats up and is ready to use in 13 minutes. It took three days of testing, but the shots are now perfect. A number of tutorials say that this machine isn’t known for “crema.” That’s not my experience. Using Segafredo “Casa” beans, my shots are thick and creamy and the taste has a hint of sweetness and no bitterness.
A drawback to this machine — there is no water reservoir. You pour the water directly into the boiler which after compensating for the range of 25% to 90% that it is supposed to always have in it to safely use, means at most, five double shots before it needs to be refilled- which means you have to turn the machine off, bleed the pressure, and start over. In other words, this is really a machine for a one or two person espresso drinking household with few friends. But if you are obsessive about your shots, the quality and flavor difference, even from the VBM, makes it worth the inconvenience.
L. Thompson –
Now that I have lived with this machine for almost three months, I like it well enough to replace my pump espresso machine. I much prefer the soft, layered espresso it produces and has a smaller footprint than the pump machine, which my wife likes.
