The Elektronika II Profi is ECM's heat-exchanger machine for those who prefer buttons to a lever: four programmable buttons for an espresso, a long coffee, two espressos or two long coffees, and a fifth for manual dosing. A dose is programmed once, by stopping the flow when the cup holds the right amount, and after that a press is enough. The pump is rotary, and the group is ECM's own, derived from the E61.
The boiler gives plenty of steam: milk froths in a few seconds. Temperature, on the other hand, is regulated by a pressurestat rather than a PID, so it is less precise. Water comes from the tank or, by turning a valve, from the mains, with the connection hose in the box; the group is cleaned with an automatic programme.
It heats up in 15 to 20 minutes. Scale should be prevented, with soft water or a softener: once a machine has calcified, only the dealer can descale it. Portafilter, drip tray and tank are not dishwasher safe. It is for someone who wants repeatable doses at the press of a button and plenty of steam for milk, and accepts a less finely tuned temperature.

Seven grams, twenty-five seconds, twenty-five millilitres: Italian espresso has a written specification, and this is it.
The same dose as an espresso, less water in the cup. No institutional source fixes its volume — so here you will only find what is documented.
25 ml of espresso and 100 ml of steamed milk, in a 150–160 ml cup. The cappuccino has a specification too.
An espresso and a stain of milk. How much milk, exactly? No source declares it — and we do not invent it.
An espresso lengthened with hot water. The amount of water is set by no standard: it changes from country to country and from bar to bar.
Double espresso, sugar syrup and ice in a shaker. It has no specification: it has a house recipe.
