About the Brand
ECM's story began in 1996, when founder Wolfgang Hauck, alongside then-partner ECM S.p.A of Italy, set out to build heat exchanger espresso machines for the upscale household. Hauck brought decades of experience as an exclusive importer for Italian brands including Gaggia, Cimbali, Pavoni and Vibiemme, and used that expertise to design his own machines from tried-and-tested professional-grade components. The first ECM Technika launched that year and remains popular today — the foundation of a brand still built on handcrafted, durable espresso equipment out of Germany.
The Product
The ECM S-Automatik 64 Coffee Grinder is an on-demand grinder with a timer accurate to a tenth of a second, built around a pair of 64mm stainless steel burrs and stepless grind adjustment. A 450W motor with cooling vents on the body keeps heat under control, and the timer display makes single or double portions easy to programme and repeat. This is home espresso grinding with the repeatability of a commercial bar.
64mm Stainless Steel Burrs (Home-to-Prosumer Grind Quality)
A 450W motor drives a pair of 64mm stainless steel burrs, sized up from an entry-level grinder for more consistent output at home.
Tenth-Second Timer Dosing (Repeatable Portions)
Programme 1 or 2 portions with a display showing exactly what's set, so your dose doesn't vary between mornings.
Stepless Grind Adjustment (Infinite Fine-Tuning)
Dial in grind size without the jump between fixed steps, giving you a genuinely precise setting rather than the closest available click.
Cooling Vents on the Body (Better Heat Release)
Vented housing helps the motor release heat more effectively during back-to-back grinds.
Expandable Bean Hopper (600g to 1,000g Options)
The standard ~500g hopper can be swapped for an optional ~1,000g hopper if you're grinding through beans faster.
Who It's Built For
You want the repeatability of programmed, timed dosing at home, without stepping up to a full commercial grinder. You're grinding for one or two people daily and want the same dose delivered every time, down to a tenth of a second. The S-Automatik 64 is built for that consistency — programmed once, repeated every morning.
