ECM Technika VI Espresso Machine The ECM Technika VI is an elegant dual boiler espresso machine that delivers both luxury build-quality and premium performance. Its unique system of simultaneous boiler heating coupled with a Fast Heat-Up algorithm means the Technika VI is ready to brew in as little as 11 minutes. For permanent placement in the home, the machine is equipped with a plumbable rotary pump and can be connected to a water supply for direct boiler filling. Advanced features such as programmable on/off times, cleaning reminders, water filter counters, and active and passive pre-infusion put the Technika VI on par with some of the most advanced machines on the market while leaving room in your budget for a premium grinder or other high-performance accessories. Why You Want the Technika VI Dual Boilers and PIDs The dual boiler design allows the Technika VI to brew and steam simultaneously. Because the boilers are independently regulated by a PID controller, users can set unique temperatures for both brew water and steam, allowing you to optimize for both coffee extraction and steam performance. Both boilers are heated at the same time, an innovation that helps the Technika VI maintain pressure in the steam boiler, especially when brewing and steaming at the same time. Luxury Build Quality If you're enamored with the curves and polished steel of classic espresso machines, you'll fall in love with the Technika VI. Compared to many modern machines, the Technika embraces traditional design with brilliantly polished steel panels and rounded edges. The panels form the walls of the cup tray on the top of the machine and the curve is gently echoed in the drip tray with no hard edges present on the exterior of the Technika VI. Rotary Pump and Pre-Infusion Thanks to its rotary pump, the Technika VI is very quiet while brewing and can be plumbed into your home water line. Plumbing makes line-pressure pre-infusion possible and the Technika VI features both active and passive programmable pre-infusion, allowing you to heavily customize your extraction. Fully manual control is unlocked with the addition of the flow control device for manual adjustment of water flow rate during extraction.
