Simultaneous Heating
The Technika heats both the brew and steam boilers at the same time. When brewing and steaming simultaneously, this improves pressure stability.
The ECM Technika VI is an elegant dual boiler espresso machine that delivers both luxury build-quality and premium performance. Its unique system of simultaneous boiler heating coupled with a Fast Heat-Up algorithm means the Technika VI is ready to brew in as little as 11 minutes. For permanent placement in the home, the machine is equipped with a plumbable rotary pump and can be connected to a water supply for direct boiler filling.
Advanced features such as programmable on/off times, cleaning reminders, water filter counters, and active and passive pre-infusion put the Technika VI on par with some of the most advanced machines on the market while leaving room in your budget for a premium grinder or other high-performance accessories.
Dual Boilers and PIDs
The dual boiler design allows the Technika VI to brew and steam simultaneously. Because the boilers are independently regulated by a PID controller, users can set unique temperatures for both brew water and steam, allowing you to optimize for both coffee extraction and steam performance.
Both boilers are heated at the same time, an innovation that helps the Technika VI maintain pressure in the steam boiler, especially when brewing and steaming at the same time.
Luxury Build Quality
If you're enamored with the curves and polished steel of classic espresso machines, you'll fall in love with the Technika VI. Compared to many modern machines, the Technika embraces traditional design with brilliantly polished steel panels and rounded edges. The panels form the walls of the cup tray on the top of the machine and the curve is gently echoed in the drip tray with no hard edges present on the exterior of the Technika VI.
Rotary Pump and Pre-Infusion
Thanks to its rotary pump, the Technika VI is very quiet while brewing and can be plumbed into your home water line. Plumbing makes line-pressure pre-infusion possible and the Technika VI features both active and passive programmable pre-infusion, allowing you to heavily customize your extraction. Fully manual control is unlocked with the addition of the flow control device for manual adjustment of water flow rate during extraction.
The Technika heats both the brew and steam boilers at the same time. When brewing and steaming simultaneously, this improves pressure stability.
The Technika VI keeps things simple with brilliantly polished stainless steel housing. There are no accent colors or materials apart from the tasteful blue pressure gauges.
With two independently regulated boilers, you have full control over your brew temeprature and steam pressure. The Technika VI can be customized for perfect steaming and extraction.
With its rotary pump, the Technika VI can be plumbed into a water line for unlimited water. You can also use the pressure from your home water line for additional pre-infusion options.
