ECM Elektronika II Profi
CoffeeSpecs does not sell and does not show shop prices: check the price where you buy.
The Elektronika II Profi is ECM's heat-exchanger machine built around manual control: the roughly 2.1-litre stainless steel boiler is regulated by a pressostat rather than a PID, while brewing is handled through programmable dose buttons that the manufacturer describes as settable with a simple press-and-hold. An automatic back-flush program is also included.
The pump is a rotary type, described by the manufacturer as quiet, and the panel carries both a pump pressure gauge and a boiler pressure gauge. The brew group is ECM's patented design, described as a development of the Faema E61 group.
At 325x475x400 mm and 29 kg it is bulkier than the single-boiler machines in the range. ECM does not publish operating pressure in bar, portafilter diameter, or a heat-up time for this model.
