Machine Overview

The ECM Classika PID is priced at $1499, making it a more budget-friendly option compared to the Bezzera Matrix DE, which has an MSRP of $2999. Both machines are classified as semi-automatic, but they cater to different skill levels; the Classika PID is designed for intermediate users, whereas the Matrix DE targets advanced users.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing information, the ECM Classika PID features a lever activation system, a stainless steel boiler, and has a brew boiler capacity of 0.8 liters. Its heat-up time ranges from 5 to 15 minutes with a vibration pump and E61 group type. On the other hand, the Bezzera Matrix DE utilizes button activation and a copper boiler, with a smaller brew boiler capacity of 0.4 liters and a longer heat-up time of 15 to 30 minutes. It is equipped with a rotary pump and a PID-controlled group for more precise brewing control.

Features Comparison

When examining their features, the ECM Classika PID includes essentials such as PID control, pre-infusion, and a shot timer, but lacks steam pressure gauge and concurrent brew/steam capabilities. In contrast, the Bezzera Matrix DE is outfitted with more advanced features including flow control, hot water functionality, and dual PID control, leading to an overall richer set of capabilities for refined espresso making. Both machines come equipped with automatic shutoff, solenoid valves, and steam wands, but the Matrix DE's features provide it with more versatility for experienced baristas.
