I have a mozzafiato for at least 3 years I’ve been looking for more options updated etc. I bought this one over the matrix. I’ll tell u why. First the matrix is an excellent model but it’s a beast. 80 lbs I believe or close. I didn’t want to buy for the lights. It’s sitting in the kitchen. The model without it is good too. The 3.5 touch screen is great. But I didn’t want to buy because of this. The 2 boilers great but more maintenance which isn’t bad but I feel it was alittle much. The ECB has all the features that the matrix has except one less pid of course the extra boiler. And I caught the deal on whole latte love that took off another 10 percent with all the Xmas extras. Ecm is a pioneer on this. A heat exchanger working as a quasi double boiler with programs to pull your coffee. A steam temp and a boiler temp setting. I just had to go for it. Plus I like the fact that it’s a stainless steel boiler wrapped. Les scale no leeching.

Is there a time stamp where pre infusion is discussed?

What is the difference between automatic and semi-automatic machines and lever machines? Is the quality of their espresso different?

Very nice machine. Whats your thoughts on using RO water and adding third wave water packs added to the water?

When and why would you use a bottomless portafilter rather than a double spout? Is it just prefernce or is there actually a difference in coffee taste and quality? Also,would you make a live video for the Bezzara Aria with flow control?

Marc: “It is a heat exchanger so you can brew and steam at the same time.” I have a question. On what machines should you not do both at the same time.

What brand is this rotary pump? There is an ECM label on the pumps in other ECM and Profitec machines, but why does it not say ECM on this one?And you do flush 8 bar my 7bar.when you brew coffee first 8 after goes 9 bar my mechanika max starting 7 after goes 9 bar.Why deffrent?
