ECM Puristika Single Boiler Espresso Machine Cream
Overview
The ECM Puristika is a single-boiler espresso machine that reimagines the relationship between home and barista. Super compact and eminently stylish, the Puristika in cream features uniquely colored housing with wood accents on the brew lever and portafilter. In a first for ECM, the Puristika is an espresso only machine with no steam or hot water capabilities. Its unique design features a multi-position glass water tank, allowing for more flexible placement on the counter. It’s other distinguishing trait is the front mounted expansion valve knob for easy adjustment of brew pressure.
Features and Benefits
With its espresso-only design, the Puristika has been outfitted with everything it needs to pull consistently excellent shots. Amazingly the Puristika is an E61 machine and the smallest of its kind we’ve ever seen. The ubiquitous group helps maintain consistent brew temperature thanks to the active circulation of hot water from the 0.75 liter stainless steel boiler. Combined with a PID controller which actively regulates the brew temperatures, the Puristika is incredibly stable and allows you to fine tune conditions for your extractions.
Further refinement of your espresso can be achieved through the front mounted brew pressure valve which can set the expansion valve between approximately 8.5 and 12 bar. Located opposite the gauge on the top left of the machine is the stylish brew pressure gauge which matches the knob with a cool navy blue face with white lettering.
Until you see it in person, it’s hard to overstate just how compact the Puristika is. At just 7.7” W x 13.7” D x 12.4” H, it edges out the Casa V as ECM’s single smallest espresso machine. That said, this was achieved by separating the 2 liter reservoir into a standalone component that connects to the back of the machine. The 4.75” diameter reservoir plumbs in with braided steel hoses and is made from beautiful crystal clear glass.

Good quality machine. Simple. Makes good coffee.

Great investment I am happy I chose the pro 600 with flow control. This is an upgrade from my gaggia classic, super stoked every morning to brew some coffee!

An absolutely beautiful machine. Well designed, solidly built, and stunning to look at on the kitchen counter! My only suggestion would be to have a good spiral bound user manual like one of their competitors!
Grgur Paprić –

I’ve owned this machine for about 2 months now and wow! It is perfect for someone who only drinks black coffee. The build quality is superb, the color combo is fantastic, and the external water tank makes it easy to refill and keep track off.
HFC included flow control with the machine and it’s been a blast playing around with the differeRead more about I’ve owned this machine for about 2nt flow rates. It also allows me to salvage shots when dialing in new beans that are running fast. It also allows me to do preinfusion and other various shot profiles.
This machine + the C-54 grinder has allowed me to pull some of the sweetest shots I’ve ever tasted.
Only issue I’ve had is one of the front plates on my drip tray fell off because of some bad welds. I let HFC know and was able to get a replacement shipped out to me in a day, all under warranty.
Highly recommend this machine to anyone who is looking for a compact work horse to pull beautiful espressos on.
