Description
ECM Mechanika V Slim Overview
This refurbished ECM Mechanika V Slim is a heat exchanger espresso machine that shed more than 2 inches of width by turning its boiler vertical, so it now measures under 10 inches across. That change makes it an easy fit for tight kitchen counters.
The new stainless steel boiler holds a slightly larger 2.2L and has thermal insulation for greater energy efficiency. The interior redesign moved the OPV so it can now be reached from the top, under the reservoir lid. Dual pressure gauges, a custom ECM E61 group and an adjustable OPV give it the features of a respectable prosumer machine.
Because it is a heat exchanger, the machine can brew espresso and froth milk at the same time, which makes lattes and cappuccinos quick to prepare. Its compact size also leaves more counter space for the drinks you make for guests, and the interior redesign is what moved the OPV to the top.
