Overview
Elektra T1 Sixties Deliziosa 1 Group Commercial Espresso Machine
The Elektra T1 Sixties espresso machine is a top choice among discerning cafe owners, and for good reason. Despite its small frame, this machine packs a powerful punch with its standout feature – an impressive 5.5 liter boiler that is seamlessly integrated into its compact design. The machine’s unique construction allows it to take up minimal space in even the busiest commercial settings, making it a popular choice among cafe owners. Additionally, the Elektra T1 Sixties is an excellent option for home use thanks to its compact size and powerful performance. Whether you’re a professional barista or a coffee enthusiast, the Elektra T1 Sixties is sure to impress with its exceptional functionality and impressive design.
This is the new version of the Elektra T1
It does not have a pressurestat to regulate the boiler pressure which is directly proportional to the temperature of the boiler and water in the heat exchanger. This espresso machine has an additional probe in the steam boiler. This probe connects to an electronic controller which regulates the boiler steam pressure. It also will save the heating element from damage from a lack of water in the machine’s boiler. For example, the water company shuts off the water supply due to a water main break.
Other new features on the T1!
This machine is so new that we still have not learned all the programmability of this newly designed machine. Shown below, the touchpad with a K has a series of lights. These lights in program mode can indicate which menu the machine is in. The black electronic control box that has a single series of lights exemplifies the particular setting the machine is in for the particular menu on the touchpad. We will post more here as we learn the different features.

Features
Night Cycle Programming!
The Elektra T1 has a programming feature that can record the top of the hour. With this program, you can also program the top of the hour for the machine to go into Night Cycle (reduced energy usage) and to wake up in the morning (on the hour) to full power. This avoids the need for a separate timer which blasts full power to the machine’s circuitry upon startup.
One can steam milk at the same time as making espresso for large parties
This machine’s high wattage heating element is desired to heat the boiler quickly for quick recovery and temperature stability. The Sixties Series even generates a lot of heat to keep those cups nice and toasty on top – you may want to place this machine with an open overhead area. With a direct water line connection, you never have to worry about filling any water tank, but you do have to remember to recharge the water softener and change the water filter.
More Features:

General Espresso Machine Notes/Warnings:
- Upon first use (tank/reservoir models): On the initial start-up (or after a long period of non-use), it is important to make sure the pump is removing water from the tank. When the machine is powered on, you will hear the pump running. After 5 seconds, squeeze the in-line hose in the tank (usually the longest hose, has a particle filter attached). if you hear a different sound, this means the pump is working correctly. If not, immediately power down the machine and contact us. For more information, visit this page General Manual Pump Priming.
- Electrical: To avoid electrical damage to this espresso machine which is not considered a manufacturer's defect, please acquire and install a single-outlet surge suppressor rated at 1080 joules or higher. Without the recommended surge suppressor, the espresso machine can be damaged at the power switch, the electronics, the heating element, the pressurstat, or the wiring inside. For more information, visit this page Power Protection.
- Water: To increase the useful life and not damage your espresso machine, please use softened water. Softened water is water without calcium and magnesium, but still has other minerals for espresso extraction. Do not use distilled, purified, or reverse osmosis water as these types of water create oxidation with the metals and cause the same damaging effects as limescale. For more information, visit this page Water Choice.
- Descaling: We do not recommend descaling unless there is an issue with the espresso machine. Too much descaling can eat away at the metals and gaskets inside an espresso machine. As a preventative measure, we recommend using softened water as explained in the bullet point above.
- Backflushing: This procedure of cleaning the grouphead will need to be performed from time to time. For more information, visit this page Espresso Machine Backflush – Why 50?

I have a T1 that I purchased from you in 2020. The boiler safety valve is releasing pressure all of the sudden. Goes about 1 hr. It happens every 2 or 3 weeks. Not every day. Pressure at the water filter is usually about 2bars. But it seems higher when this happens. 4bars Does the valve need to be replaced?

Water line pressure seems to keep the cause as you described the correlation.
I have a Sixties Deliziosa machine that I purchased from you in June of 2020. This morning after the machine started there was a strange sound coming from the boiler and looks like there was pressure air coming from the anti vacuum valve. Is this normal. This is the first time I hear it. Thanks

Read more answer nowAsked on September 12, 2023 10:59 amA During warm up, the anti vacuum valve will release some steam and a little hot water right before steam pressure is achieved. However, if the boiler is overfilled with water (not normal), a lot of water will exit the anti vaccum valve as the water level sensor is probably corroded from the water. in the aforementioned case, the steam pressure gauge will never go over 1.5 bar. If the steam pressure gauge goes over 1.5 bar pressure (not normal), the PID sensor is probably corroded from the water and it is going over temp. The sensor located on the boiler behind the lower front panel will need to be first disconnected and then removed without bending the wire. Lots of water will drain and the machine will need to air dry for 24 or more hours. The sesnor will need to be cleaned with a wire brush and reinserted with plumber tape. Reconnect the electrical connection then retest after complete drying of the unit.
I'm rebuilding an Elektra A3 and one of the lock nuts on Elektra part #02492011 cracked during reinstallation. I can't find it in stock anywhere. I'm comfortable sweating copper pipe, so a repair should be feasible if I can source the proper fitting. Do you have anything that'll work? Thanks!

Hi,
That part might not be available for us to order as it is for an older model. However, we just set it up in our system and will try to order it on our next parts order with Elektra. Here is a link to the part on our website: 02492011. If you add your email to the waiting list, you will be notified once it is available in stock.
From the previous question… can I use the 220v solenoid coil if the originals are 110v? I have a 220 v machine. Btw the parts diagram from Elektra lists both 110 and 220v for that particular part.

Sorry, the 220 volt solenoid will never open the valve on a 110 volt machine.
AThe part that was ordered stated 220 volts in the lower description. You can review the different diagrams (different versions of T1 are near bottom of page) as posted on our web site.
I am in the process of refurbishing my machine. I have a 2010 build purchased from you. I purchased two Parker solenoid valve coils from you recently to replace the old ones, assuming since I have a 220v machine I would need the 220v valve coils (the diagram for that model does not specify which coils are needed). To my surprise the original valve coils are are 110v. Can I use the 220v coils when the originals are 110v? Alternatively would you be willing to exchange the 220v coils for 110v coils? Both of the replacement coils I ordered have not been used or installed. I am well aware of your policy on returns etc. I have many unreturned parts sitting around that I ordered incorrectly, however I feel that ordering the 220v coils for a 220v machine was an honest mistake as nowhere can I find any indication that I needed 110v coils for this particular model. Thanks in advance for your response.

We understand it is an honest mistake. Sorry, as like many other vendors, we do not take parts returns as there is no way to test electrical parts unless we install them on a machine. Elektra usually notes their parts diagrams with 110 V and 220 V designations. We recommend selling them in a marketplace.
My Elektra T1 is leaking water from the water drain pipe, even when off. Water entry pressure is 3 bars. Assume some valve or solenoid is leaking, would like to know where to start in terms of ordering replacement parts. Does not leak anywhere else. Thanks

3 bars is too high. Not knowing the age of the machine, we suggest hiring a professional - the reason is that a part may be replaced and may not need to be replaced. A professional can usually determine in person where the leak is coming from. Otherwise, you may have a leak from the bleeder valve, the safety valve, the HX pipe, solenoid valve, the OPV or a combination thereof. We are sorry that it is not as simple as some people think.
