Need to Know

What Is it? 

The ECM Mechanika VI Slim is a heat exchanger espresso machine with a large 1.9-liter steam boiler, an E61 group head, a quiet vibratory pump, and an internal 3-liter water reservoir. The VI Slim improves upon its predecessor, the V Slim, by adding some additional control features such as: 

  • 3-Way Temperature Switch 
  • Automatic Pre-Infusion 
  • ECO Mode

Who Is It For? 

Those who want a more tactile feel to their morning coffee routine yet want a little bit more temperature control than a traditional heat exchange machine. The three-way temperature switch allows you to cycle between three pre-set boiler temperatures, so dialing in your machine for different roast levels is a breeze. Are you tight on counter space but still need a machine with impeccable build quality and beauty that can knock a few lattes out back to back without skipping a beat? You’re looking at the right machine. The Mechanika evokes the long tradition of espresso making, and the Heritage version is a monument to that craft. 

Why Do We Carry It?

We love it when manufacturers blend modern technology with traditional craftsmanship, and ECM not only strikes this balance but elevates it with their renowned engineering and internal build quality. Whether you’re into straight-shots or steaming a few flat whites in the morning, you’re going to do it with precision and style.
