ElbaV PID is the machine in the ElbaV line designed for a very compact footprint (only 23.5 cm of stated width), with a 1.5-litre stainless steel boiler and an HX heat exchanger. The manufacturer describes it as "the machine with all the important controls": it has PID for temperature and shot-timer, an ECO function that puts the machine on standby after 30 minutes of inactivity, and a double-scale gauge showing both boiler and pump pressure, unlike its sibling ElbaV EVO.
The manufacturer also highlights the top lid that opens like a drawer, to top up the 2.5-litre water tank without removing the cups, and the front drip tray that fully detaches for cleaning.
The product page states a footprint of 23.5x43x40 cm for a net weight of 23.5 kg. The official manual for this model, shared with ElbaV EVO, does not include a "technical data" table with dimensions and voltage in the same form shown on the website.
