Wow, nice, talk about the pressure of pulling a good shot though :o In terms of experience on a commercial elektra, we did a comparison of machines running head to head a synesso, the expobar g10, and Elektra T-G. To be honest, the elektra performed horribly. The temp profiles were all over the place. Depending of the type of cooling flush you used you could get shots that started at 92, raped up to 95, dropped down to 89, finally to finnish at 91C. I've never seen anything like it. The flavour of the shots on the elektra was really nothing special either, still good, but considerably worse than the other two machines. But all that aside, even if it had the very best flavour possible, I still couldn't handle it in the cafe as the drip tray is absurdly too shallow. I can't stress that enough, it was rediculous! The styling of hte machine was great, and I really loved the togles for the hot water and steam wands, but alas, thats was about all I liked about them. I'm not saying this is at all indicative of what their domestic machine (or any other machine, for that matter) is like. Just thought I'd put forward my (brief) experience with one of their commercial lines. A friend of mine recently purchased a very old 2 grp commercial elektra from a roaster here in SA for $500. It pulls shots but definately needs some work done to it so it will be interesting to see what results we can get out of it. BTW// For what it's worth we found the best results from doing only a short purge between shots, maybe 15-20mls. Best of luck with everything, hope it all goes weel for ya'
