• Volumetric dosing enables baristas to set 4 espresso shot volumes per group (either the same or different), ensuring one-touch operation and consistent results across users.
• The pivoting 'joystick' steam control reduces hand strain on baristas. A gentle press in any direction is for purging, and locking it allows for continuous steaming.
• The raised groups can accommodate most large cups, and portable risers are included for smaller ones.
• The 5 lb brass groups enhance brew temperature stability.
• Automated backflushing makes group cleaning quick and easy.

The Elektra Sixties features clean lines and a shiny body that can match almost any decor. Its compact size allows it to fit in various places. Despite its lower price, it offers excellent performance and reliability. It has a larger boiler capacity than many other compact machines, providing powerful steam and ample hot water.

The Sixties comes with standard volumetric programming. Baristas can program 4 espresso shot volumes per group, ensuring consistent shot volumes every time. This not only makes shots more consistent between users but also frees up baristas to interact with customers or start another order.

It also has user - friendly features like patented steam 'joysticks' that can be locked open with a gentle push in any direction, steam tips perfect for micro - foaming, and automatic backflushing. It is available in a highly polished stainless steel finish and a limited - edition distressed brass version called 'Riforma'.

The Sixties 1 - Group is our most compact commercial espresso machine. It doesn't compromise on quality, but with one group, one steam wand, and a hot water spout, it has lower coffee production and limited steam and boiling water capabilities. It's suitable for low - volume locations such as homes, offices, restaurants, hotels, small shops, places with less experienced baristas, and those on a smaller equipment budget.

Using the Elektra Sixties 1 - Group Espresso Machine is quite straightforward. First, make sure it's properly plugged into a 220V power source with a frequency of 50 - 60 Hz. For making espresso, use the volumetric dosing feature. You can program 4 different shot volumes per group in advance. Just press the corresponding button, and the machine will pull the shot at the exact volume you set. When using the steam wand, use the pivoting 'joystick' control. A gentle press in any direction starts the purging process, and locking it allows for continuous steaming. You can use the steam tips for creating micro - foam easily. Here are some important things to note. Always follow the voltage and frequency requirements to avoid damaging the machine. When using the steam wand, be careful as the steam is very hot and can cause burns. Also, since it's a commercial - grade machine, make sure to place it on a stable and flat surface. For maintenance, take advantage of the automated backflushing feature regularly to keep the groups clean. This will ensure good performance and a long lifespan for the machine.
