Neues ECM-Flaggschiff: Estetika überzeugt auf ganzer Linie!

The ECM Estetika is ECM's new dual boiler with its own brew group and volumetrics — we bought it ourselves, measured it in the lab, and brewed on it all day at a catering job. Does it hold up for home use AND small-scale hospitality? And how does it stack up against the La Marzocco GS3 and similar machines? 📖 Read the article: https://kaffeemacher.de/en/blogs/kaff... 📬 Kaffee-Extrakt — our weekly newsletter: https://link.kaffeemacher.ch/extrakt ☕ All our coffees: https://link.kaffeemacher.ch/unsere-k... ▬ Buy the ECM Estetika ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 🛠️ Recommended retailer: [INSERT AFFILIATE/PARTNER LINK ECM Estetika] We look for specialist partners we know deliver good work and good service, and we stay in close touch with them.
