Machine Overview

The Rocket Epica is a high-end espresso machine priced at $7200, designed for advanced users, while the ECM Casa V is more accessible at $999 and caters to intermediate skill levels. Both machines are semi-automatic, but they target different segments of the market. The Rocket brand is known for its premium offerings, while ECM is recognized for its reliable, efficient models.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing information, the Rocket Epica features a dual boiler system with a heat-up time of over 30 minutes and a brew boiler capacity of 1.9 liters. It utilizes a saturated sprung lever group type and a magnetic volumetric pump for activation. Conversely, the ECM Casa V has a single boiler and heats up in 5-15 minutes with a brew boiler capacity of only 0.4 liters. It operates with a button activation and a vibration pump.

Features Comparison

When it comes to features, the Rocket Epica is equipped with advanced functionalities such as dual PID control, pre-infusion, and smart connectivity, along with boiler and steam pressure gauges. In contrast, the ECM Casa V includes basic features like a solenoid valve and hot water functionality but lacks PID control and other advanced features. Both models do not have an integrated grinder and offer a steam wand, but the Rocket Epica provides more comprehensive options for customization and precision in brewing.
