Elektra Sixties Compact T3 2Gr Elletronica

The Elektra Sixties Compact T3 2Gr Elletronica is a commercial espresso machine designed for cafes and restaurants with limited space but a need for high performance. It blends a nostalgic, retro aesthetic with modern technology. The "Compact" model is built to be smaller than a standard two-group machine, while "Elletronica" indicates its electronic, volumetric dosing features.

Key Features

Volumetric Dosing: The Elletronica version has a programmable control panel for each group. This allows baristas to set up to four different shot volumes, which are dispensed with a single touch of a button. This is crucial for consistency between shots and reduces the need for constant supervision, allowing the barista to multitask.

Compact Design: The machine is intentionally designed with a small footprint to fit into cafes, pubs, and ice cream shops where counter space is at a premium. Despite its size, it does not compromise on performance.

Heat Exchange System: The Sixties T3 uses a large heat exchanger boiler. While not a dual-boiler system, the large capacity (9 liters for the 2-group model) provides ample steam power and hot water while also allowing for simultaneous brewing.

Temperature Stability: The machine uses an electronic control system to maintain a stable boiler water temperature. The heavy, over 2kg, brass brew groups also contribute to thermal stability.

Ergonomics and Durability: The machine features a sturdy push-button panel with soft-touch buttons. It has a high-quality, polished stainless steel or brass body and a solid steel support frame. The steam and hot water wands are controlled by pivoting levers, which are easy on a barista's wrists during high-volume use.

Programmable Night Cycle: To save energy, the machine can be programmed to enter a low-power "night cycle" when it is not in use, reducing energy consumption overnight.

Built-in Pump: The machine comes with a silent, built-in rotary pump, which is more durable and quieter than a vibration pump, making it well-suited for a commercial environment.
