Arguably Elektra's "best" home espresso machine (in terms of what it produces vs. ease of use), the Micro Casa Semi Automatica is a beauty available in different metal choices.

Bottom Line: Exceptionally beautiful machine - be prepared to spit-and-polish. Repeated pressurestat failures is a big caution though.
