Need to Know
What Is It?
Big things indeed come in small packages; the Mechanika Slim VI sports a massive 2.2-liter stainless steel heat-exchange boiler with 1.6 bar steam pressure at its high end to produce a luscious microfoam for lattes. The VI Slim adds two features to offer the home barista more control:
3-Way Temperature Switch:
- The middle default position (0)—199-204F
- The lower position (I)—194-199F
- The higher position (II)—204-210F
*Approximate temperature at the group head during extraction
Automatic Pre-Infusion
Pre-infusion helps with mitigating channeling issues and can help promote more even extraction. After lifting the brew lever, the VI Slim will release a small amount of water for several seconds at low pressure to saturate the puck, pause, and then the pump kicks on for full pressure.
Why We Carry It?
The Mechanika VI slim is the perfect combination of brains, brawn, and beauty. For those not keen on stainless steel, check out the Heritage version. No other heat exchanger on the market comes packed with features combined with its small size and build quality. For those who demand a lot from their machine, desire a tactile daily ritual, and a mechanical experience that evokes the romantic history of espresso, the Mechanka VI Slim extends this tradition in spades.
