ECM Classika PID Espresso Machine with Flow Control

I’ve had this machine for four months now and absolutely love it! My previous machine was a Quickmill Alexia single boiler and this one is way better designed and has so many more features. I love the quick warm up, eco mode, the timer on the pid display, the flow control, and the reservoir design. This is the perfect single boiler machine!

This machine produces very consistent shots! I can pull shots at 9 bars every time …especially with the Flow Control. Once you get your grind and tamp dialed in, this machine will not disappoint. Remember this is not a “push button,” automatic machine…if you enjoy the “process” of creating a great shot, you will love it! Also, don’t forget how amazing it looks!!! 😀

This was my first espresso machine - I had zero knowledge when I started shopping. It took me approx 6 weeks of research to decide. I’m extremely happy with my choice of Classika and Clive Coffee. ECM is very impressive quality and Clive has been there to support my concerns and questions both before and after purchase. I drink Americanos daily - so a single boiler was all I needed. Heat up is fast - smart plug has worked great for me to have no waiting on machine in mornings. Classika makes incredible espresso - I love the paddle flow control and joysticks on the Clive model. Classika makes powerful dry steam after suggested purges - but I wouldn’t love my machine so much if I made milk drinks daily - I’d prob get a double boiler. But, no complaints from me re: ECM Classika or Clive Coffee. Will buy from Clive again.
