969.Coffee Elba Mini
CoffeeSpecs does not sell and does not show shop prices: check the price where you buy.
Elba Mini is the most compact domestic machine in the 969.Coffee range, with a single stainless steel boiler of 0.85 litres ("mono-circulation", with no separate heat exchanger for the coffee water). The manufacturer states PID control for both temperature setting and shot-timer, and a 2.0-litre water tank.
A distinctive feature the manufacturer states is that the tank is made entirely of food-grade stainless steel and doubles as both the water container and the machine's outer body, reducing the number of separate parts. The stated footprint on the product page is 20x40x33 cm for a net weight of 18.5 kg.
The manufacturer states two electrical variants, 110 V/1200 W and 230 V/1200 W, depending on the plug chosen at order time (DEU, CH, AUS): since this is not a continuous range stated on a single nameplate but two distinct configurations, the figure is not recorded as a voltage range. The user manual available for this model does not include a "technical data" table with the same measurements shown on the website.

Pros and cons
In favour
Worth knowing
- 0.85-litre single boiler with no exchanger: coffee and steam cannot be dispensed simultaneously as on Elba Gentile
- The manufacturer does not state a boiler pressure gauge on this model source
- Voltage and power are stated as two distinct configurations (110V/1200W or 230V/1200W) tied to the plug chosen, not as a single range source
