I have been lurking for about 6 months. I have been posting on the Coffee Geek forum as well.

I decided that I have to finally commit to posting on Home-Barista, so here I go.

I want to see if any Elektra A3 users out there have anymore feedback on the machine.

I am looking at this machine as well as others at what will hopefully be my ultimate upgrade from an Expobar Office Control, and hopefully my Upgraditis will be cured at least for a while.

I have not really listed the other machines that I am looking at as there seems to be a decent amount of info on these and I also do not want to replicate my post a week back on Coffee Geek.

I look forward to input for HB members and I hope one day to be able to contribute to this board as well.

Hi Dennis!

You've probably already read Dan's very nice review of the A3 on this site. If so, his summation probably caught your eye: "It's simply the best heat exchanger machine I've had the pleasure to evaluate."

My personal feedback to you would be- I love this machine! It's very easy to pull one great shot after another with the A3. I'm relatively new here so it's not my skill making all these "10" shots happen, rather I give credit to the Elektra (as well as to all the great tips I've learned from this site!).

Go ahead, give Chris Coffee a call. You won't regret it! :D :D

-Mike

I am definitely going to take a look at the A3, as well as a few others.

Thanks for the follow up.
