EspressoBot Comparison

Machine Overview

Machine 1, the Rocket Mozzafiato Cronometro V, has a manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) of $2400, while Machine 2, the ECM Classika PID, is priced at $1499. Both machines are categorized as semi-automatic and are suited for users with an intermediate skill level. This suggests that both models require a certain level of expertise to operate effectively, although Machine 2 is more affordable.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing information, the Rocket Mozzafiato features a lever activation system with a heat exchanger as the primary heating element, allowing a heat-up time of 15-30 minutes and a steam boiler capacity of 1.8 liters. On the other hand, the ECM Classika also utilizes a lever activation system but operates with a single boiler, yielding a quicker heat-up time of 5-15 minutes and a brew boiler capacity of 0.8 liters. Both machines feature the E61 group type and use a vibration pump for operation. Additionally, both models come equipped with a 58 mm portafilter.

Features Comparison

Regarding key features, the Rocket Mozzafiato is equipped with a range of functionalities, such as auto shutoff, PID control, pre-infusion, and a solenoid valve, which supports concurrent brewing and steaming. Similarly, the ECM Classika PID offers many of the same features, including auto shutoff, PID control, pre-infusion, and a solenoid valve; however, it lacks steam pressure gauge and hot water capabilities. Both machines come with a steam wand and no-burn wand design, ensuring user safety while steaming. Ultimately, both machines offer advanced features, but the Rocket Mozzafiato presents more options for brewing convenience.
