The ECM Synchronika espresso machine is widely considered to be the most refined dual boiler available in its price range. The Heritage Edition of this legendary piece of brewing equipment takes the same precision and build quality that established its dominance and presents it in an even more elevated package, complete with textured anthracite housing, copper accents, and knobs instead of joystick steam and hot water valves.
The ECM Synchronika is a dual boiler espresso machine that promises to exceed expectations in terms of aesthetics and performance—and then delivers on that promise. Enjoy full control of brew settings via the PID display: individual adjustment of temperature in both boilers, an optional display to remind you of the group cleaning, an integrated shot timer during extractions, and the ability to toggle the eco mode.
The Heritage Edition of the Synchronika has an extraordinarily refined aesthetic, even compared to other Synchronikas. The textured anthracite housing pairs perfectly with the copper accents, giving the whole machine a historic feel that has the power to elevate the look of your coffee corner all by itself. It also features ECM’s Fast Heat Up programming, which super-heats the boiler so it reaches brew temperatures much faster than standard E61 machines can. (Just make sure to follow the instructions and perform a cooling flush before brewing.)
The Synchronika is one of the more aesthetically refined machines around, true, but don’t be fooled: it’s an absolute work horse, too. The steam boiler (stainless steel, 2L) pumps out a staggering 2-bar of steam pressure, and the brew boiler (stainless steel, .75L) achieves some of the best temperature stability at the group head we’ve seen. This is made possible in part by the fully-stainless-steel E61 group, which is more thermally stable and less susceptible to calcium build-up as well.
The result is that, with a little practice, Synchronika users can brew espresso and froth milk that exceeds the quality of what they could expect to be served in most cafes. Use the internal 3L water reservoir or plum the Synchronika’s near-silent rotary pump directly to a water line for a never-ending supply of brew water.
If you’re particular about espresso and want to surpass the quality of shots you’re being served at your local cafe, the ECM Synchronika is the machine for you. It offers a level of precision and power that allow you to brew to exacting standards. It’s also one of the most beautiful espresso machines available—a distinction further solidified by the Heritage Edition’s anthracite and copper combination. At the end of the day, when it comes to dual boiler E61 machines available for home use, the ECM Synchronika is about as good as it gets.
The Synchronika has always been known as one of the most aesthetically sophisticated E61 group machines around; that designation is solidified with the Heritage Edition, which pairs textured anthracite housing with copper accents for a truly historic feel.
The Synchronika features ECM’s Fast Heat Up programming, a unique heating cycle which superheats the boiler to 266°F for record heat-up times compared to other E61 machines.
The Synchronika’s subtle PID controller allows you to make degree-by-degree adjustments to both steam and brew boiler temperatures; it also doubles as a shot timer during extractions and displays maintenance messages.
Use the Synchronika’s internal 3L reservoir, or plumb the machine to a direct water line for an unlimited supply of brew water. Either way, the pump is near-silent, especially when compared to vibration pump machines.
