Hello Kevin,

Welcome to lever heaven. Great choice of machine. As if you could make a bad choice with an Elektra. Enjoy!

Most Cherished Gentlepersons,
Thanks to the kind efforts and good will of one of our group, I am now the proud possessor of "La Peppina" "Carmenita Dulce" !




Not wishing to be "little Johnny" Would there mayhap be a number available for me?
I would prefer to have #099 or # 090

Now, let the study and fun begin!
Best Regards

Congrats Congrats- Tamper Man-!! So how is the search for the cord stuff coming? If you are still looking, take the ceramic part with you to Goodwill- they have lots of old wafflemaker cords etc. They just might get close......enough to work!! It might take a few trips but it could yield the gold mine you seek!! Have fun with your.......... Peppina Rosa! You were always a LMWDP member you are just getting your number!

Another nice Peppina tamper I spy

Many thanks mo! That said, I have the socket and shall be doing the electrical plumbing this weekend. A real neat way they do the three prong connection at the pot to keep from ZZapping the aboriginals ( ground wire to the stain relief clip and that goes thru to spring thingy on the socket top and thence to the prong shield on the element.). I'm lucky enought to live near (>< 60miles) to about a gazillion thrift type stores. Six tampers out the door now. Even found a source for Coffee Measure spoon parts Now, I gotta get or trade for a real grinder.
Thanks all for helping it happen!
Best Regards

Too many makers!

I have finally received my Elektra "Micro Casa a Leva", boy! It does look good.





Made one cappuccino, tasted amazingly good for a first attempt.

My next purchase will be a proper grinder, I already roast my own beans
with a Hearthware Home Roaster. Home roasted beans taste far better.
I am now looking forward to many months of making coffee.

I have been lurking on these forums for quite a few months
agonising over which lever to buy? I think I will be happy for quite some time to come.

Thank you to everyone on here... I feel I have made the right decision.


Sorry for posting this twice, I picked the wrong topic the first time.
I think it is because i am so excited with my new machine.

kev,

As an owner of an Elektra for a year and well over 1000 shots pulled i am sure you will be happy for a long time. There are many nuances to learn with this machine.

Enjoy!
