We traded this machine in, we did rebuild the brewing unit, replaced the boiler and heat exchanger, serviced the entire machine, she comes in perfect workorder. We upgraded, replaced the flimsy ssr relais with a commercial ssr relais (relais to switch on and off the heating element), the ssr relais is a common issue on ecm and profitech machines.
The PID offers individual temperature adjustment and maintains the ECM aesthetic with its silvered design.
However, the stand out feature here is Technika Profi PID's ability to switch from its 3 liter water tank to an in-line water connection for an infinite supply, making it flexible for any setting. Working in an office full of coffee drinkers, having that option is incredibly convenient. Of course, the design of an espresso machine always deserves special mention and this one features a handcrafted stainless steel housing, larger pressure gauges for easy reading, and new valves for steam and hot water which feature the ECM logo stamped on the sides.
