Wow. It is so refreshing to see such genuine enthusiasm, from both you guys and ECM. Well done and thank you.
Hi JLB, We love what we do a whole latte! Thank for the comment!
Thank you Marc and Todd for the ECM tour, always enjoy your “day in the life” of espresso machines.
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for commenting!
Marc
The perfectly aligned row of machines is so satisfying to look at!
Hi Hai, It sure is. Thank you for the comment!
thx guys - now I do love my pro 600 even more 😄
Dream come true, great video.
A suggestion for improving the cleaning aspect. Can the inside corners of the drip tray be not so deep. It is difficult to remove buildup that is collected in the corners. Maybe make them rounded instead of the hard angles.
Hi Paul, Thanks for the comment. Will pass along to Michael.
I really like how german engineers do their jobs with passion for a better quality products. It's just amazing
Hi Mujahid, They do and it is! Thanks for taking a moment to leave your comment.

can't imagine a life without a shot timer anymore, since I own a Classika PID.
The only difference between the Syncronika & Pro 700 is a visual one? All internals are the same?
Hi, Thanks for the question. Yes, internally the machines are the same. Differences are the Synchronika: has lever operated valves, PID display color blends - it's silvered, frame base is a single piece, easy to open up, angled portafilters, comes with a polished heavyweight tamper.
Whole Latte Love Hi Mark, also the pressure gauge are located above the group head on Synchronika and below the group head on the 700. Color of the gauge also diferent.
Will ECM get into automatic pressure (or flow) profiling ?
Maybe - nothing definite to report.
Maybe a weird question? but why would I get the Profitec vs the ECM? Does one brand make a certain emphasis vs the other, or is it just cosmetic differences?
Hi Harold, Thanks for the question. Think of Profitec as Toyota and ECM as Lexus. Under the hood very similar with ECM featuring more refined cosmetic detail. Good example is the Profitec Pro 700 compared to the ECM Synchronika. Internally the machines are nearly identical. Externally the Synchronika is more detailed.
Marc
So the 700 is assembled in Germany and the 600 in Milan, Italy?
Hi Mathieu, At last check you are correct!
What is the difference or advantage of having a stainless steel boiler like ECM uses, versus a brass or copper boiler used in some machines from Rocket or others?
SkeksisRule Hi SR, thanks for the question. IMO boiler material makes no difference in espresso quality. Personally, I prefer stainless as it looks better down the road when a machine is opened. Some opinions which say SS is less likely to scale but no hard data on that.
Marc
What is the difference between ECM and Profitec? Not sure why companies split their brands like this.
Hi Brad, It's something like this... Profitec = Toyota, ECM = Lexus.
Marc
I am confused. I thought ECM was a German company?
Hi Mike, ECM is a German company. When this video was made they had manufacturing facilities in Germany and Italy. Since then all manufacturing has moved to Germany.
