What customers say
Home baristas highly praise the ECM S-64 for its exceptional grind quality and robust construction. Users consistently report that the 64mm flat burrs produce highly uniform particles essential for superior espresso extraction. The stepless adjustment allows for precise dialing in across various roasts. While acknowledged as a significant investment, customers feel the premium performance justifies the cost, viewing it as a long-term appliance. Minor operational noise and occasional static are noted trade-offs for the superior output. This grinder is celebrated as a reliable workhorse that significantly elevates the serious home espresso experience.
Know before you buy
The 64mm stainless steel burrs provide a larger surface area for grinding, which results in a more uniform particle size and faster grinding speeds. This consistency is essential for achieving balanced extraction and clear flavor profiles in your espresso.
Unlike grinders with fixed notches, the stepless adjustment allows you to rotate the collar to any position. This gives you infinite control over your grind size, making it much easier to dial in the perfect shot for specific coffee beans.
The Automatik model features programmable timers for single and double doses, along with a built-in quantity counter to track your usage. The Manuale model relies on a manual start/stop function, which is better suited for users who prefer to grind by weight or visual volume.
The S-64 features a vented body design specifically engineered to dissipate motor heat. This helps keep your coffee beans cool during the grinding process, preventing premature flavor degradation caused by heat transfer.
While the S-64 is optimized for espresso, its stepless adjustment allows it to grind coarse enough for methods like French press or drip coffee. However, it is primarily designed as a high-precision espresso grinder.
The S-64 measures 150mm wide by 245mm deep and stands 415mm tall. We recommend checking the clearance under your kitchen cabinets to ensure the hopper can be easily removed for refilling.
