• Single 0.75 liter stainless steel boiler — compact and efficient
• Brewing group E61 — uniform extraction and passive pre-infusion
• PID controller — temperature control to the nearest degree
• Silent vibration pump
• 2.8-liter water tank — good autonomy for daily use

On a daily basis

The Classika PID is the ideal ECM machine for beginners. Turn it on, wait 11 minutes, and extract your espresso with precision thanks to the PID control. As a single-boiler machine, there's a slight delay between extraction and steaming to allow the temperature to adjust. The removable cup warmer is a convenient feature.

For whom

• The enthusiast taking their first steps in manual espresso and wants reliable and durable equipment
• The one with a narrow countertop (only 250 mm wide)
• The enthusiast who primarily prepares espressos, with occasional milk-based drinks.

Less suitable for

• For those who prepare several consecutive milk drinks without waiting — a heat exchanger machine like the ECM Mechanika Slim PID or the Mechanika Max will be more suitable.
• Users who want a direct water connection — the Classika PID works only with its tank.

Positioning

The Classika PID is the entry point into the world of ECM. In the category of single-boiler machines with E61 group and PID, it offers German ECM build quality at an accessible price, in a format that fits anywhere.
