Elektra Microcasa a Leva - almost no crema - Page 2

Just to make sure, when you say fully cocked is the maximum compression on the spring when one pull the lever, the spring fully closed, or happens to be both on this spring? :mrgreen:

I'll get my machine back this Saturday, then I'll disassemble the piston and spring to take measures...

Thanks,

Marcio.

i meant when the lever is pulled...dont have my calculations here anymore...i just remember that this was what i got....and u have to keep in mind, that the lever goes a little bit up till the pressure is fully applied to the puck, so u will not have the full 8 bars on the coffee....

Yes, for sure, same thing (worse) with Mini Gaggia, so I'm calculating the load I could get when the piston seals the chamber and really press the water.

Thanks!
