The Estetika is ECM's newest dual-boiler machine, with a heated brew group built specifically for it to keep the temperature steady on every extraction. Three volumetric buttons program the water quantity for each coffee, and a sensor compares each shot's length against a target time set per button, flagging whether the coffee ran too fast or too slow.
Both boilers heat together, and fast-heating mode gets the machine ready in 5 to 9 minutes instead of 15 for a normal start. Pre-infusion is adjustable in both its active and passive stages, the pump is rotary, and a dual gauge tracks pump and boiler pressure. Besides the tank, the Estetika can also be plumbed into the mains. The box holds a modular portafilter with single- and double-dose silicone inserts, a second double-spout portafilter, a bottomless basket for watching the extraction, a blind basket and a tamper.
The group is cleaned with an automatic cycle a little over two minutes long, started from the menu after loading detergent into the blind basket; a reminder flags it every 90 to 140 coffees. The group gasket can be replaced by hand with a flathead screwdriver, no dealer visit needed, and an optional water filter with its own replacement reminder helps keep scale at bay. It is for someone who wants a recent dual boiler with digital controls and maintenance meant to be done at home.
