Features and Performance
The Mechanika VI Slim incorporates familiar features like dual pressure gauges, a custom ECM E61 brew group, and a PID to simplify temperature monitoring and reduce the need for regular cooling flushes, which are necessary for heat exchanger machines.
A notable addition to this version is the three-position switch, located at the bottom right of the machine. This switch enables easy adjustment between three pre-set boiler temperatures and provides the option to activate or deactivate pre-infusion and ECO mode.
The machine's mirror-finished stainless steel exterior conceals an intuitively designed interior layout that optimizes its compact design. The vertically oriented 2.2L stainless steel boiler contributes to its minimal width and features thermal insulation for improved energy efficiency. The OPV (Over Pressure Valve) remains accessible from the top of the machine, situated underneath the reservoir lid.
