Overview
The Puristika unites eye-catching designs with the engineering skills that the Germans are known for. It lets you extract espresso with temperature precision, and also afford you the ability to set the maximum pressure without needing to occupy too much space.
Wolfgang Hauck starts the story of ECM 25 years ago with designing the ECM Puristika, which to this day is still one of their most loved machines. Now for over 10 years it’s into the family’s second generation of beautifully designed machines with German engineering backing them up. The Classika is no exception to this fine craftsmanship with every detail being taken into account. Truly these machines are crafted for the espresso enthusiast with the utmost care and quality.
Every feature selected to be used with this machine has been well thought out such as a vibratory pump that allows the machine to have its smaller footprint and external water tank for even more space flexibility. Unique to this machine, the Puristika is equipped with a dial that controls the expansion valve; which allows for the maximum pressure exerted on the espresso puck to be set. It’s without question that no details have been ignored.
The Puristika’s single boiler is equipped with a PID for espresso precision. With the PID doubling as a shot timer, this further simplifies the replication of fantastic espresso shots. Since this machine is designed to only pull espresso shots, it’s got quite the speedy heat up time for an e61 grouphead. Overall, this machine is going to provide you the tools to create professional quality drinks without sacrificing counter space.
