ECM Mechanika VI Slim Espresso Machine
ECM Mechanika VI Slim Overview
With a width of less than 10 inches, the ECM Mechanika VI Slim is a heat exchanger espresso machine that retains the sleek stylings and 2.2L boiler of previous Mechanika versions, while improving upon its predecessors with updates like an all-new three-position control switch to easily select one of three preset boiler temperatures, as well as the ability to turn pre-infusion and ECO mode on or off.
Features and Performance
The Mechanika VI Slim utilizes returning features like dual pressure gauges, a custom ECM E61 brew group, and a PID to help alleviate the constant monitoring of temperature and the need to perform periodic cooling flushes that are required of heat exchanger machines.
New to this version of the Mechanika line of machines is the three-position switch. Located on the right side of the bottom of the machine, the switch allows for easy adjustment between three preset boiler temperatures, as well as the ability to turn pre-infusion and ECO mode on or off.
Inside the mirror-finished, stainless steel exterior is an intuitive interior layout that allows the machine to utilize its signature compact design. The 2.2L stainless steel boiler is vertically oriented to allow for the minimal width, and features thermal insulation for greater energy efficiency. The OPV also remains accessible from the top of the machine, located underneath the reservoir lid.

Domenico Riva –
The build quality of this machine is top notch and the smaller size is a plus. Although it is not a full PID machine, the 3 way temp toggle switch works well for all my needs. I can easily brew and steam at the same time. The top notch HARFAN COFFEE videos and customer service are an added plus.
Gabriel Parisi –
The ECM Mechanical VI Slim Espresso machine is gorgeous and very well made, a very sturdy machine. Love the added extras, with the steamer, it’s easy to use and just all around joy to have. I definitely recommend.
Nicolas Conte –
Very stable temp control. This machine can handle back to back drinks with ease.
Plenty of steam power on the lowest temp setting, only gets better with the higher two settings.
Wish it came with a bottomless portafilter.
Only thing I don’t like or feel there’s any area for improvement is the steam and hot water wand, if you aren’t Read more about review stating Cafe Quality at Homecareful they can touch the face of the machine and leave marks/scratches.
HARFAN COFFEE is amazing to work with!

I have always heard that the build quality of ECM/ Profitec was top notch but this truly is next level. Everything feels like it is built to last for a lifetime.
