ECM Mechanika V Slim Espresso Machine Review

Join Victoria as she reviews the ECM Mechanika V Slim Espresso Machine. There are few better examples of a machine that punches well above its weight. We're impressed with the 2.2L steam boiler that ECM was able to fit in a body the same size as the Classika single boiler. Its tried and true heat exchanger design means it's sure to be reliable. Such a powerful, compact design makes it a compelling option in the heat exchanger market.

What do you think of the Mechanika V Slim? What would you like to know? Let us know in the comments below!

Hi: just to add the reason it's called the "Slim" is that the boiler has cleverly been flipped 90 degrees so it's vertical (rather than horizontal alignment) saves width space in the body dimensions, thus making it a great option for those with limited counter space.

I have a query about making the decoction for the expresso.
Can I boil the specific amount of ground coffee in the proportional amount of water for sometime, then strain the same and add froth milk to it?
Will it taste good?

The "vee" slim seems to be a step up from the "ivy" slim. Nice video. Thanks!

Great overview. What was the grinder used? Thanks.

Add a Eric's E61 thermometer at the brew head ! Then temp surf !

This is a great and helpful video. This machine wasn't even on my radar, but after watching this, now it is. (One thing, at 0:06 you mean "unassuming, " not "unsuspecting.") Thanks for the great summary.
