ECM Classika PID:
Espresso Settings & Dial-In Guide
The ECM Classika PID is a single boiler espresso machine, designed for prosumer use. It features e61 solenoid (passive) pre-infusion, a 58mm portafilter. With PID temperature control (88–98°C), you can fine-tune extraction temperature alongside grind size for precise dial-in. The adjustable OPV lets you fine-tune brew pressure beyond the factory setting. Allow 20+ minutes of warm-up time for temperature stability.
