The latest version of the tried-and-tested, traditional ECM Mechanika Slim espresso machine takes the concept a few steps further. At its core is the same reliable machine as before – with a surprisingly large boiler (approximately 1.9 litres), considering its modest external dimensions.
The temperature is controlled electronically and can be set to three different modes via a button on the underside of the machine. The low setting gives a brewing temperature of 90–93 degrees Celsius, suitable for dark roast coffee. The middle setting gives a temperature of 93–96 degrees for medium and light roast coffee. The high setting gives a temperature of 96–99 degrees and is used to maximise steam pressure when needed.
Another cool feature is an automatic three-second pre-infusion that you can toggle on or off. When this mode is on, the machine gently moistens the coffee with low pressure for three seconds and then waits another three seconds before activating full pressure. This is a useful feature, for example, when the coffee is freshly roasted or you want to tone down the acidity a bit.
