The ECM Casa V is perfect in a home of one or two people, where it’s performance shines. This is especially so, considering the articulating commercial style steam wand, packing a considerable amount of steam power and equipped with a two-hole steam tip for velvety milk foam. The stainless steel, mirror-finished housing is a nice talking piece, and the commercial features help make an excellent shot of espresso.
You’ll find that many typically prosumer-exclusive features are borrowed in the Casa V. For instance, the brew pressure gauge, which lets you keep an eye on pressure while you brew and gives you a sense as to the quality of your shot. To this end, ECM has made sure that the overpressure valve is easily accessible for pump pressure adjustment, hiding it beneath the cup tray.
The Casa V heats up fast, from cold to brew in 5-7 minutes. It’s ready to steam in just over one minute.
The Casa V also features four dedicated buttons for powering on the machine, pulling a shot, and dispensing steam or hot water. If you can press a button or turn a knob, you’re already on your way to cafe-quality espresso.
