Machine Overview

Machine 1, the ECM Casa V, is priced at $999 and is classified as a semi-automatic machine suitable for intermediate skill levels. On the other hand, Machine 2, the ECM Puristika, has a higher price of $1549, also targeting intermediate users. Both machines are manufactured by ECM, indicating a consistent brand identity.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing information, the ECM Casa V activates via a button and features a stainless steel single boiler with a brew boiler capacity of 0.4 liters. The group type for this machine is a ring design, with a heat-up time ranging from 5 to 15 minutes. Conversely, the ECM Puristika uses a lever for activation, has a larger brew boiler capacity of 0.75 liters, and employs the E61 group type, while also having a similar heat-up time of 5 to 15 minutes. Both machines utilize a vibration pump and have varying water reservoir capacities, with the Casa V at 3 liters and the Puristika at 2 liters.

Features Comparison

Regarding features, the ECM Casa V does not have an auto shutoff function but does possess a boiler pressure gauge, and it offers hot water functionality along with a steam wand. In contrast, the ECM Puristika includes an auto shutoff feature, PID control with degree precision, and a shot timer, but it lacks a steam wand and hot water functionality. Both machines incorporate solenoid valves and overpressure valves, demonstrating some commonality in their design.
