ECM Technika V Profi PID portafilter machine

Uncompromising: High-quality, whisper-quiet portafilter machine

The Technika V professional PID portafilter espresso machine impresses with its design and technology. The perfectly crafted housing made of high-gloss polished stainless steel is classic, and the technical components are unrivaled on the dual-circuit market. The machine is equally suitable for espresso and cappuccino drinkers. The well-thought-out machine can also handle larger parties. The rotary pump is extremely quiet and ensures a consistent espresso extraction at 9 bar. The PID temperature control allows you to indirectly control the brewing temperature. Not only typical Italian bar roasts go well with the machine, but also lighter, fruitier espresso beans or very dark chocolate roasts if the temperature is adjusted accordingly.

The Technika impresses with its very clean mechanics and of course with the best espresso

When switched on using the small toggle switch, the machine immediately starts purring incredibly quietly, it checks the boiler fill level and pumps in some water if necessary before starting to heat up the boiler. After 15-20 minutes, this dual-circuit portafilter is ready to produce the finest espresso enjoyment. The large boiler pressure gauge is at around 1.1 bar, the visually unobtrusive silver-colored PID shows the temperature for the espresso. After you have pulled in the particularly beautifully designed filter holder and pulled up the small lever next to the E61 brewing group, the PID display now shows the run-through time in seconds, very practical. The rotary pump purrs again, the coffee flows quietly and evenly into the cup. It's supposed to be a cappuccino: the left toggle switch clicks elegantly into place and lets rich, dry steam escape. Pulling and rolling the milk is easy with the ideally shaped milk foam nozzle. Fine-pored milk foam can now be poured onto the espresso with a rich crema. With these conditions, latte art is no longer rocket science.
