ECM Casa V Espresso Machine
ECM Casa V Overview
For a single-boiler espresso machine, and one of the smallest products in the ECM line, the ECM Casa V manages to be one of the best semi-automatic machines you can get.
Features and Performance
You’ll find that many typically prosumer-exclusive features are borrowed in the Casa V. For instance, the brew pressure gauge, which lets you keep an eye on pressure while you brew and gives you a sense as to the quality of your shot. To this end, ECM has made sure that the overpressure valve is easily accessible for pump pressure adjustment, hiding it beneath the cup tray.
The 1200 watt heating element goes to work on the 0.4 liter eco brass boiler, heating the Casa V to brewing temperature in 5-7 minutes, or steam temperature in one minute.

Sebastião Rezende –
Absolutely brilliant machine.
Had it a few weeks now. Makes great espresso. Everything is solid and dialed in. Looks amazing, heats up fast. It’s perfect for my needs.
The included tamper is actually quite nice also.
Very happy with this purchase

The machine came within a week of ordering it! Very well packaged, no worries about the safety of the machine inside on route. It looks fabulous, on my counter, and it’s relatively easy to use. It heats up super fast, and straight forward. I’m happy with my decision to purchase this machine rather than an automatic type.

Very Happy Novice. After seeing my espresso skills appreciably improve after a year or so with a Bambino, upon its demise I decided to take the plunge and invest in an upgrade. I am very happy I did. From the start it was easy to see my Casa V was built like a tiny Panzer. It is also easy to see my technique needs to improve to the level of my newRead more about review stating Very Happy Novice. After seeing equipment. Critiques on topics like temperature- hunting, etc. are beyond my skill-grade until those skills improve. ( For now I do know the psi is right and when my grind is close). My Casa V experience the first two weeks has been fun and positive. Results have been hit and miss but early on, my third shot from this machine was significantly better tan the first two and very encouraging. Practicing is going to be a lot of fun.

Now that we have our Casa V dialed in we’re very happy with it. It consistently produces better espresso than our now-defunct Rancilio Sylvia. Ease of use is slightly but not significantly better than the Sylvia. The machine seems very durable and is beautifully built. Harfan Coffee customer service and sales support have been excellent.
