ECM Shot Mirror

The magnetic fixture is solid enough that the mirror doesn’t budge even with the pump vibrating, and the swivel head makes dialing in the shot angle a breeze. I’ve caught a couple of channeling issues I would’ve totally missed before it dried out on the tray.

The magnetic fixture makes it stupidly easy to adjust the head mid-shot, and seeing the extraction from that angle finally shows me when to ease off the pressure. My last few pulls have been noticeably more consistent.

I was skeptical a mirror could change my espresso routine, but the magnetic fixture holds it perfectly in place on the drip tray. Positioning the head to see the stream from above helped me dial in my shots faster. Definitely a simple upgrade that improves control during extraction.
