S-Manuale 64 is, in the manufacturer's own words, "a high-performance grind-on-demand espresso grinder" with 64 mm stainless steel burrs and stepless adjustment. It is the simpler of ECM's two S-series models: grinding starts when the portafilter is pressed against the contact spring and stops when the portafilter is pulled away, with no display or electronic dose programming.
The official manual states a hopper of about 500 grams, a 450 W motor running at 1400 rpm, and a European version powered at 230 V 50 Hz. The stated dimensions are 15x24.5x41.5 cm (width x depth x height) for a net weight of 6.9 kg: a different figure from the 6.5 kg given on the product page, where the manual takes precedence under this listing's rule.
Neither the manual nor the product page specifies whether the burrs are flat or conical, nor do they state grounds retention in the grinding chamber.
Highest technical score among the 4 Espresso grinders between €350 and €900 machines: 100/100.

Chosen from the brew methods the manufacturer declares it covers, not from the category.
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.
