ECM S Automatik 64 Espresso Grinder
ECM S-Automatik 64 Espresso Grinder Overview
The grinder is the single most important piece of equipment that accompanies an espresso machine and we can tell that ECM kept this in mind when they designed the S-Automatik 64 burr grinder. With a powerful 450W motor and a set of 64mm stainless steel burrs, it’s surprising they managed to fit so much into so small a product.
Features and Performance
A nice finishing touch we noticed is the vented housing for greater airflow and cooler operation so your coffee beans aren’t affected during the grinding process.The S-Automatik 64 also boasts a subtle improvement in grind adjustment with the addition of the o-ring inside the grinding chamber. This prevents grounds from packing the adjustment threads, which would otherwise make calibrating the burrs difficult or unreliable, as you might find on other grinders.
You’ll find the S-Automatik 64 is easy to set up and use. Grind adjustment is stepless with the worm gear adjustment key, adjustable with just your fingertips and allowing for a near infinite number of settings. For dispensing, you can program unique shot-times for both single and double shots within 1/10th of a second. Manual grinding is also an option for those who want more control.
Why You Should Get It
All-in-all, the S-Automatik 64 stands out as a solid companion to any prosumer home espresso machine. The stepless grind adjustment means you have very fine control over your grind setting, which really helps when dialing in your espresso. The stainless steel housing adds some class and durability, as well. The LED display on the S-Automatik 64 matches the PID temperature controller on equipped ECM espresso machines, for an added touch.

Got this grinder for home use. We like to make espresso drinks and occasionally cycle types of beans and need to change the grind slightly. This unit is well built, pretty quiet for the powerful job it’s doing, love the feature where it blocks the hopper so you can remove it more easily without beans spilling all over.

Very capable grinder that looks great alongside the ECM Synchronika. Grind is uniform and not too may clumps. You can control portions by adjusting the grind time, though consecutive doses can vary by up to .5 grams. Haven’t tested retention amount yet. There doesn’t seem to be any markings that let you know where you are on the grind setting.

This is probably my 6th grinder in life and only my 3rd professional one. I tried another and returned it after experiencing lots of mess and erratic dosing. The ECM has truly been awesome now and has made my life so much easier as welll as my espresso so much better.

The PID is simple and allows you to set the dose dispense time allowing you to get good consistent mess free doses each time you use it. It matches the ECM Synchronata perfectly as well. Completely happy with this grinder and my HarfanCoffe experience so far!

Great grinder. Set the weight and never have to worry about it.

I’m very happy with this. It’s my first serious grinder, and it gives me what I need: consistent portions, ease of use, the perfect grind after a short period of adjusting to my beans, and, after having owned that little screamer from Gaggia before, QUIET operation! If I was to nitpick, coffee grinds fall and collect on the little timer window, whRead more about review stating Quiet, consistent, cool lookingich seems like something that could have been avoided by placing that elsewhere on the body.

I initially purchased it because of its small, narrow footprint to fit into the space I had for a grinder. It also had to fit under a standard kitchen cabinet which it also does. I also wanted a much better grinder than I had and it is.

I really like the timers and the grind quality and ability to make fine adjustments in the grind size. The hopper hold a lot of beans.

First, it is almost worth it just to look at it. It is a handsome machine and well built. It does what it is supposed to do and gives me more control over my grind than my previous machine. Also love the single and double shot dosing. Takes a little practice to know how hard to hit the dosing button. If I had to give it a ding, the grind chute falRead more about review stating Beautiful Machine With One Tiny Dingls off easily. You have to position it just right. Once it’s there no problem.

Really a quiet grinder that has a great look. The grind adjustment is easy to use ad calibrate. It also fits under my cabinet since it is a little shorter in height. There is some clumping of the coffee, but it is small and does not seem to affect the shot for either a double or a single. For a single I’m set at 4.4 and a double at 9.7.
