Elba Gentile is the flagship domestic machine from 969.Coffee, handmade in Italy by the brand that also covers the Elba line. The official manual states a 1.5-litre AISI 304 stainless steel boiler with a heat exchanger (HX) and a PID control for temperature, shot-timer and ECO mode. The manufacturer lists a removable 2.0-litre tank and a D.50 boiler pressure gauge on the front panel.
The machine is configurable at order time: the manufacturer offers a choice between lever or wheel taps, between a volumetric (rotary) or vibration pump, and an optional water-mains connection, available only when paired with the rotary pump. The front drip tray can be fully detached from the rest of the machine for emptying.
According to the manual's technical table, the stated footprint is 25.5x43x40 cm for a net weight of 25.5 kg, with a 220-230 V 50/60 Hz power supply rated at 1500 W. The manual states a warm-up time of about 12-15 minutes, a range the manufacturer does not reduce to a single figure.

Seven grams, twenty-five seconds, twenty-five millilitres: Italian espresso has a written specification, and this is it.
The same dose as an espresso, less water in the cup. No institutional source fixes its volume — so here you will only find what is documented.
25 ml of espresso and 100 ml of steamed milk, in a 150–160 ml cup. The cappuccino has a specification too.
An espresso and a stain of milk. How much milk, exactly? No source declares it — and we do not invent it.
An espresso lengthened with hot water. The amount of water is set by no standard: it changes from country to country and from bar to bar.
Double espresso, sugar syrup and ice in a shaker. It has no specification: it has a house recipe.
