Wiedemann handle set elegant for ECM/toggle levers, walnut
Wood on portafilters, toggle levers and brew lever: the Wiedemann handle set elegant replaces the handles of ECM machines with toggle levers with parts in solid walnut. Order online, click & collect in Bern and Zurich.
According to Wiedemann, the set is made in its own workshop in Germany, from solid hardwood with threads of rust-free stainless steel. Wood is a natural material, so grain and colour differ slightly from piece to piece.
The set contains two complete portafilters with handle, end caps and portafilter head, two toggle levers with end cap and a brew lever with end cap. Brew group, temperature and extraction stay as they are. The set changes how the machine feels and how it looks on the counter. Our opinion is one of many.

Who it is for
For anyone with an ECM with toggle levers who wants wood instead of plastic on the controls. ECM machines and accessories are in the ECM collection, other wooden pieces from the same workshop, such as WDT tools, brushes and grinder lids, are in the Wiedemann collection.
Around the portafilter: for anyone who wants to tamp affordably and precisely, there are tampers from Normcore. If you want more weight and finish, you will find them at Weber Workshops. Scales work the same way: Normcore compact and reliable, Acaia with app and flow-rate display.

Tip from the roastery: We weigh every shot and start at 1:2, around 18 g of ground coffee to 36 g of espresso. In the ECM we like brewing Cozy Chocolate and Nutty Delight best, dense and full-bodied with notes of chocolate and nuts. For maximum body without acidity we go for Very Nutty. The full range is in our coffee beans. This is our recommendation, one of many.
