ECM Mechanika Max PID Espresso Machine
Ace Coffee Roasters presents the ECM Mechanika Max PID Espresso Machine. The ECM Mechanica Max is the newest creation for ECM who is based in Heidelberg Germany.. Aside from Its compact and aesthetically beautiful design, the ECM Mechanika Max offered through Ace Coffee Roasters is very innovative in controlling temperature stability through the new heater exchanger flush feature. Firstly , the machine features an intelligent design, where two PID probes are carefully placed in different areas of the machine. The first being on the primary boiler and the second being close to the group heat exchanger loop allowing for a very stable brew temperature
Secondly in the operation of the ECM Mechanika Max , when idle the machine falls into a brew temp control mode ( BTC) with the pressure gauge falling below 1 bar but once a steamed milk beverage is required a quick touch of the controls takes you back to Steam pressure temperatures of 1.2 Bar or higher. There’s three different BTC modes that can be selected to operate the ECM Mechanika Max . Working in the lowest BTC mode gives you the most temperature stability at the group, but once in the max BTC mode you’ll need to rely more on the heat exchanger flush advisor .
Furthermore, the ECM Mechanika Max flush advisor function is provides the user interactive information care of the digital screen located on the face of the machine. Three bars are activated on the top part of the display on the digital readout when the machine is too hot for brewing coffee. The user has to simply lift the lever and perform a heat exchanger flush until the digital reading(3 bars ) is restored. This indicates that the machine is ready to brew coffee again at the correct and desired temperature.
Conversely, the flush water advisory will indicate when the machine heat exchanger is too low of a temperature to extract proper coffee. This will be displayed by 3 indicator bars on the lower portion of the digital display.
In all cases, the interactive display of the flash advisor will always provide you the “RDY “ (ready) indication when the heat exchanger is ready to brew optimum coffee.
Built in to the Mechanika Max is two programmable pre-infusion cycles . Active ( use of pump ) pre-infusion can be programmed from 1 to 10 seconds in the portable mode. In the direct Fill mode the Mechanika Max may be used in one of two ways ; after the phase active pre-infusion the passive infusion may be activated within a specific time range or you can strictly use the passive pre-inclusion without any active pressure.
At CaffeTech Canada we highly recommend the use of a pressure regulator, whenever using passive pre-infusion for better and more accurate results .
What completes the Mechanic Max machine design is an easily accessible menu with the use of the scroll arrows . All the functions of the machine can be set or deployed from these two arrows. The LED read out give you the reading and is necessary to exit and enter any of the programming stages .
