ECM S-Manuale 64 Espresso Grinder Heritage Line

ECM S-Manuale 64 Espresso Grinder, Heritage Line 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 Heritage Line of the S-Manuale 64 burr grinder. With anthracite housing, a satin-finished steel grinds chute, and a copper-colored grind level indicator and emblem, this exclusive version on an already excellent grinder is sure to impress.

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-Manuale 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-Manuale 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. Owing to its name, the S-Manuale 64 manual grinds only, making it a stand-out option for those who want more control and don't want to bother with programming dosage.

Why You Should Get It

With the inclusion of exclusive Heritage Line components, this version of the already excellent S-Manuale 64 stands out as a solid companion to any prosumer home espresso machine. The anthracite housing gives off a distinct appearance that is textured to the touch, and pairs perfectly with the satin-finished steel grinds chute. The copper-colored grind level indicator and ECM emblem on the back of the housing ties everything together perfectly.
