ECM Puristika Espresso Machine

No, the Puristika is designed exclusively for espresso. It does not include a steam wand or hot water tap, making it a dedicated machine for those who prefer straight espresso or Americanos.

The external expansion valve (OPV) allows you to adjust your brew pressure on the fly. This is a powerful tool for dialing in light roasts or experimenting with different extraction profiles to highlight specific flavor notes in your beans.

Thanks to its efficient single-boiler design, the Puristika reaches operating temperature relatively quickly compared to larger heat-exchanger or dual-boiler machines. You can typically be ready to pull a shot within 10 to 15 minutes.

Yes, the PID controller is straightforward and allows you to set your brew temperature with precision. It also doubles as a shot timer, which helps you maintain consistency across every extraction.

The glass water reservoir is mounted externally on the back of the machine, which gives the Puristika its unique, compact aesthetic. While it keeps the machine narrow, ensure you have enough clearance behind the unit to easily refill the tank.
