What does "dual boiler" mean?
The Verve has two separate boilers — one for coffee (140cc) and one for steam (1.6 litres) — regulated independently of each other.
Can it brew espresso and steam milk at the same time?
Yes, thanks to the two independent boilers, neither process affects the other.
Does it need a fixed water connection?
Not necessarily. The Verve runs either on a direct line or via the integrated, removable 5-litre tank.
What can be set via the smartphone app?
Brewing temperature and pre-infusion duration, over a direct WiFi connection.
Does it support a programmable pressure profile?
Not as a standard feature. The official documentation describes app control of temperature and pre-infusion — not pressure profiling as standard.
Does it need special electrical work?
No. At 1,600 W / 230 V, operating current is about 7 A — a standard socket is more than sufficient.
How often does it need descaling?
As a classic dual-boiler machine, the Verve requires regular descaling of both boilers, depending on local water hardness and use. Solino sets the maintenance schedule at installation.
Is it suited to high-volume use?
Not as its main purpose. The manufacturer positions it for home baristas, small restaurants and boutique cafés — for high volume, Solino recommends other solutions.
Who makes the Elektra Verve?
Elektra, an Italian brand since 1947 (Treviso), today part of the VEA Group.
What materials is it made of?
Stainless steel with wooden side panels.
Can it be used on a boat or on the move?
Yes, thanks to self-contained tank operation with no need for a fixed water connection.
What does Solino's support include?
Installation, initial app setup, training, a maintenance/descaling plan, genuine spare parts, and technical support across Greece.
