An engineering accomplishment the Mechanika IV Profi from ECM has dual-pressure gauges, an E61 group, joystick water valve controls, and a
sleek housing with rounded edges. This is the kind of espresso machine we
don’t see often.
Grinder and Accessories Not included
Let’s start with the iconic E61 brew
group, which ECM has updated with stainless steel internals and a
simplified top nut. The group is solid brass, constantly heated by the
thermosyphon system, featuring a pre-infusion cylinder to really bring
out the flavor of your coffee. At the heart of the machine, you’ll find
expertly organized internals including the 2.1 liter heat exchange
boiler for instant, simultaneous steaming and brewing. The rotary pump
which, in a fantastic combo with the Mechanika’s sound absorbing design,
makes for nearly silent brewing.
As one of several finishing touches,
ECM’s emblem of authenticity adorns the front panel, remarking on a
genuine machine that pulls genuine results.
Heat Exchanger
The Mechanika IV 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
Mechanika IV Profi can choose which source of water is being used,
between the reservoir and a direct water line connection, giving the option for use in low volume commercial settings. 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.
Features:
- High-end ECM brew group with innovative stainless steel brew group
- Easy access to the water tank through removable cup warming tray
- Quiet rotary pump
- Switchable from water tank to a fixed water connection
- Professional quick steam and hot-water lever valves
- 2 ergonomically angled ECM portafilters with weight-balanced shape
Optional Flow Control Valve
If you order the machine with the
optional E61 Flow Control Valve, we will install it for you. The Valve
Paddle allows you to adjust the flow of water (which will also control
the brew pressure to some extent) in
your brew group to manually profile your extractions. This component is
a stainless steel needle valve, which allows the user to
vary the amount of water flowing through the group. Variable flow
control allows for lengthy pre-infusion for more even saturation and
extraction of your espresso.
Similar to ECMs existing mushroom, the flow control device is made
from stainless steel to resist corrosion. The resulting changes in
pressure are reflected by an included gauge which installs on the front
of the group. The E61 Flow Control Device can be installed on any ECM
Espresso machine with an E61 brew group.
