Frequently Asked Questions
The Elizabeth offers exceptional value with features like programmable pre-infusion, LCC control, and true dual boiler performance typically found in machines costing $500-$1000 more. Its compact size and commercial 58mm group make it ideal for home use without sacrificing professional capabilities.
The Elizabeth is the first water tank machine to offer true pre-infusion using steam boiler pressure through the coffee boiler. This creates genuine low-pressure pre-infusion for optimal coffee bloom before full extraction begins, improving flavor clarity and reducing channeling.
The machine shows ready in approximately 10 minutes from cold start. For optimal temperature stability and best extraction results, we recommend waiting 20 minutes before pulling your first shot. You can adjust brewing temperature +2°C in the LCC for faster readiness.
Yes! The LCC allows you to program pre-infusion times, extraction durations, and temperatures. You can adjust these settings for different coffees, roast levels, or brewing preferences and save your preferred profiles.
The V3 features an improved silent pump, enhanced LCC interface with additional programming options, Reserve Mode for completing shots when water is low, and refined component quality for better reliability and performance.
While the Elizabeth offers advanced features, it's most suitable for intermediate to advanced home baristas who understand espresso fundamentals. Beginners can certainly use it successfully but may find the extensive programmability overwhelming initially.
Regular maintenance includes daily rinsing, water tank cleaning, and periodic backflushing (every 50-100 shots). The automatic backflush program in the LCC simplifies cleaning. The included water softener helps prevent scale buildup and extends service intervals.
Absolutely! The dual boiler design excels at both. Brew espresso while simultaneously steaming milk for lattes, cappuccinos, and other milk-based drinks. The powerful steam boiler provides commercial-quality milk texturing.
The Elizabeth uses a professional 58mm portafilter compatible with commercial accessories and precision baskets. It includes single and double shot baskets plus a blind basket for backflushing.
The built-in shot timer automatically tracks extraction time and displays it during brewing and for 20 seconds after the shot completes. This helps you dial in grind settings and maintain consistency.
Yes! Press and hold the '+' button once to display real-time coffee temperature, twice for steam temperature. The LCC also shows set temperatures and provides feedback during operation.
Reserve Mode allows the machine to complete extraction for up to 60 seconds after the low water level is reached. This ensures your espresso shot finishes properly rather than being interrupted mid-extraction.
