Grinder and Accessories Not included
When
the ECM Elektronika II Profi was revealed to us, we were immediately
intrigued by it’s preference for automatic controls. Dedicated
volumetric brewing buttons are something you don’t really see in the
prosumer market, where manual control is key. However, considering ECM’s
philosophy on innovative design, it’s no surprise something so bold
could arrive.
With the Elektronika II Profi, you
can expect ECM’s signature features: dual-pressure gauges, an E61 group,
joystick water valve controls, and a sleek housing with rounded edges.
The rotary pump works in combination with the Elektronika II’s
sound-absorbing design to make brewing nearly silent as well. However,
the real convenience is found in the array of volumetric controls, which
automatically dispense pre-programmed volumes of espresso and can be
reprogrammed to your preference. We’ve found this to be especially handy
when making lattes; just press a button to brew and forget while you
get to work steaming your milk. Because brewing is automatic, you won’t
need to keep an eye out on your espresso while you froth. For when you
want a little more control, manual brewing is still an option.
This is a great machine for anyone
who has guests who may not be as experienced with pulling a shot, or
busy bodies that want to get other things done while your drink is
prepared.
Heat Exchanger
The Elektronika II Profi is equipped with a
1400 W stainless steel boiler with a capacity of 2.1 L. As a heat
exchanger machine, you can expect to brew and steam without waiting, or
even at the same time.
Switchable Water Source
With the flip of a switch, the
Elektronika II Profi can choose which source of water is being used,
between the reservoir and a direct water line connection. The reservoir
boasts a capacity of 3 liters.
E61 Brew Group
The E61 grouphead is constantly heated with
water from the thermosyphon system for temperature stability. It also
features a pre-infusion cylinder to aid in the extraction process.
Handmade & High-End Construction
The machine is housed
in mirror-finished, stainless steel panels. It rests on a one-piece
internal steel frame, which protects it from bending or bowing during
shipping or as the result of continuous use.
