For different coffee roasts or compositions, it is advisable to adjust the temperature of the boiler. To achieve the best possible balance of flavor, it is advisable to adjust the brewing temperature to the roasting depth. The darker the roast, the cooler the extraction temperature should be selected for the most balanced flavor impression. This helps to reduce unwanted bitterness in the cup. If, on the other hand, the coffee tastes too acidic, a balance can be achieved by selecting a higher extraction temperature.

ECM Heritage, Special Edition Mechanika VI Slim
The preset values are 120°C (248°F), 124°C (255.2°F) and 128°C (262.4°F). For different coffee roasts or compositions, it is advisable to adjust the temperature of the boiler. The MECHANIKA VI SLIM is a heat exchanger espresso machine. In a heat exchanger, the brewing water is heated indirectly by the boiler.
After the heat-up phase and a short flush*, the specified boiler temperatures of the MECHANIKA VI SLIM are approx. 90-93°C for switch position I, approx. 93-96°C for switch position 0 and approx. 96-99°C for switch position II.
The measured temperatures may vary slightly, as they depend, for example, on the ambient temperature or the temperature in the water tank. * During a flush, the portafilter is removed from the brew group and a so-called empty draw is made to free the shower screen from adhering coffee particles and to remove excessively hot brewing water (this can occur in a heat exchanger machine due to its design) from the heat exchanger
In our measurements, the duration of the flush was two seconds in each case, to ensure comparability between the different brews. It is advisable to adjust the flush duration based on what is seen and heard such as bubbling or hissing. If the flush is made longer or shorter, this changes the brewing temperature.
