These 2 machines are almost at different ends of the spectrum. The Minore is $2500 and the ECM is $4700- Almost twice the price.
In reality, what's the difference? Dual boiler, PID, e61. The ECM has a slightly larger steam boiler (1.5L vs 2L) but the Minore has a significantly larger brew boiler (1.5L vs 0.75L). The expobar has more powerful heating elements than the ECM (2000+2000 vs 1200+1400). The only benefits I can see to the ECM are aesthetics, rotary pump, low water sensor, joystick steam. Is that it? Do they produce an equally good coffee in the cup? How's the reliability? The Minore is old, which can be both good and bad
I don't intend to plumb it in.
