ECM Technika VI – Dual Boiler with ECM-61
Brushed stainless steel, a robust ECM-61 brew group, and a blue manometer: The Technika VI is a dual boiler with two separately heated boilers, allowing for simultaneous brewing and frothing – and can also be used as a single circuit machine if needed. ECM is a German manufacturer based in Bammental near Heidelberg, producing handmade machines in Germany and Italy.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does Dual Boiler mean for the Technika VI?
Two separately heated boilers for brew water and steam. You set the brewing temperature independently and can brew and froth simultaneously. If needed, it can also be used as a single circuit machine.
Can I connect it to the water mains?
Yes. Operation via water tank or fixed water connection is possible. We can set up the connection upon request during delivery.
How long does it take to heat up?
Allow around 11 minutes – thanks to the Fast Heat-Up mode, the ECM-61 brew group is then stable at temperature.
Can I see it before purchasing?
Gladly. You can see it live in Bern and Zurich Oerlikon. Please let us know in advance, and we'll have it ready for you.
Roaster's Tip
You can make the most of the dual boiler by choosing the brewing temperature to match the bean and leaving the steam boiler at full power independently – this produces fine milk foam for latte art. Brew a little higher for lighter roasts, and a little lower for darker ones. This is our recommendation, one of many.
