Overview
The ECM S-Manuale 64 is the manual-operation version of ECM 64mm flat burr grinder, using a portafilter fork switch instead of electronic timing. The same excellent German-made burrs and motor deliver identical grind quality, in a simpler, more traditional operating format. Some baristas prefer the direct tactile control of manual operation, and the lower price compared to the S-Automatik makes it attractive. Pure German engineering focused on grind quality over electronic features.
The ECM S-Manuale 64 features a 64mm flat burr set, crafted from steel. The burrs spin at 1400 RPM, offering fast grinding for high-volume use. Grind retention is approximately 1.5g, typical for a hopper-fed workflow.
At $599, the ECM S-Manuale 64 is aimed at serious home baristas who understand the importance of grind quality. Key workflow features include stepless grind adjustment for infinite precision. The flat burr design produces a more uniform particle distribution, prized for clarity and sweetness in the cup.
The ECM S-Manuale 64 is weighing 9.0 kg, manufactured in Germany, powered by a 280W motor. Its footprint measures 180 x 270 x 480 mm (W×D×H).
