What size metal tamper does the expobar office lever need?

I thought I read somewhere it was a 51mm but I'm not sure.

Whole Latte Love Staff The Office Lever will require a 58mm tamper. We carry several in that size, each of which you can learn more about by following the links below.

Does this boiler have the heating ellements actually in contact with the water or are they incorporated into the boiler body, thus heating it & the water without the elements comming into direct contact with the water?

Whole Latte Love Staff Due to the construction of the heat exchanger boiler, some water does come in contact with the heating element. The water that does come in contact with the heating element is used for steaming and hot water. On the other hand, water that’s used for brewing does not touch the heating element.

The Expobar Office Lever espresso machine I purchased mentions your ready to brew when the indicator reads 1 Bar to 1.5 Bars.

My local Brista tells me that 9 Bars of preasure are required for propper espresso extraction.

Is 1 Bar of preasure on this machine's indicator actually equal to 9 Bars of preasure? Is this a misprint in the spec's page on this site for the machine?

I'm rather confused.

Whole Latte Love Staff The pressure gauge on the machine is an indicator of the boiler pressure (directly correlated to temperature). That gauge will generally read from .9-1.5 bar of pressure during normal operation. The pressure that the pump produces for brewing should be between 8-9 bars of pressure, like your barista told you. These are simply 2 different types of pressure being mentioned.
