The main feature of the Art.T1 Sixties espresso machine in a commercial environment is its extreme compactness versus performance - the result of an Elektra design study in placing a whopping 5.5 liters of boiler capacity into such a small frame and body. However, for the home, this can be one BIG machine. It does require a direct water connection and drainage, but these conveniences are highly desired by the espresso experts. With a direct water line connection to your cold water plumbing, you never have to worry about filling any water tank, but you do have to remember to recharge the optional water softener. It is also great to never have to pull the drip tray to empty into your sink - one only needs to remove it for cleaning.
This machine's high wattage heating element is designed to heat the boiler for quick recovery and temperature stability. The Elektra Art.T1 even generates a lot of heat to keep those cups nice and toasty on top (minimum 2 hours required to pre-heat cups).
The Art.T1 has 6 programmable buttons to measure the amount of water being pumped through the espresso coffee grinds. The extra 'K' button on the touchpad allows the operator to use the machine as a semi-automatic (start and stop of the espresso extraction) and to program the other 6 buttons.
Highlighted Features:
- Beautiful Ultra-polished stainless steel finish
- Commercial-grade steel frame
- Incorporated motor and positive (rotary vane) displacement pump with vibration-damping fastening is pretty quiet when compared to tank model machines that have a vibration pump
- Electronic level control system monitors water level in the boiler to make sure the heating element is submerged in water.
- Patented heat exchanger accessible from top of boiler for easy inspection and cleaning by a technician or capable home-owner

- Dual-acting, high-precision gauge shows both pump water pressure and boiler steam pressure (without a water softener, this will be one of the first parts to fail due to limescale which is not covered under our parts warranty)

REVIEWS & COMMENTS
YOU ARE THE WEAKEST LINK.
intrepid510 | Fri, 01/20/2012 - 22:55This is one of the top of the line machines that you can buy and it comes with the requirement that you plumb it in. This is good since you never have to worry about running out of water or your drip tray over flowing, but at the same time does require the additional expense. That being said these machine produce espresso that you and the grinder are going to be the only limits, not the machine!
TOP ESPRESSO MACHINE
samuellaw178 | Thu, 12/29/2011 - 12:58This machine is a high-requirement/maintenance machine, ie plumb in, 20 amp, high heat up time etc. But if you're able to meet those requirements, you're almost guaranteed a lifetime of espresso/latte heaven. Hint:pair it with a good grinder with fresh beans.
Because of its large boiler, you can cater to a big group of people with little fuss. This is a machine that is intended to be left on whole day also due to the long heat-up time. So it's great if you are drinking espresso throughout the day! And it's one of the best looking machine I've seen.
A GREAT MACHINE
Wakeknot | Thu, 12/29/2011 - 10:54I picked this up from Roaste and love it! It makes great espresso even though I'm still just getting to know it and it has by far the best steam of any machine I've ever owned. Add in commercial build and good looks and I think it should be on your short list if you are looking in this price list. (I'd certainly pick it again).
