ECM Synchronika Espresso Machine – Anthracite with Tiger Maple Accents

ECM Synchronika Overview
ECM is about refinement and top-of-the-line build quality and the ECM Synchronika has been a credit to their mission ever since it arrived on the market. The upgraded PID and discreet improvements to the prosumer-class machine really elevate what you can do with an espresso machine. Your shots will be exquisite, and the 2 bar of steam power youu0026#39;ll have at your disposal is nothing short of intense.
Features and Performance
The Synchronikau0026#39;s Fast Heat Up is a unique heating cycle that overheats the boiler so that it reaches brew temperatures even faster. After a cooling flush, the super-hot water brings the group head and portafilter to temperature which helps to ensure optimal temperature stability. 
Less obvious advantages can be found in the iconic E61 brew group, which ECM has updated with stainless-steel internal components as well as a single top cap for a decidedly cleaner aesthetic that other machines lack. These stainless-steel internals add much greater durability and resistance to calcium build-up for more straightforward maintenance. When plumbed in, you can take advantage of longer, low-pressure pre-infusion which let you bring out the more unique flavor notes in specialty coffee. 
Why You Should Get It
When paired with the proper grinder, the ECM Synchronika has pulled shots for us that compare with some of our best local cafes. The subtleties in technical improvement and ECM’s nuanced innovation shine in the Synchronika, making it one of the best-equipped prosumer machines on the market.Dual-Boiler: The independent, insulated stainless-steel boilers provide stable temperatures and allow you to change your brew temperatures to get the best flavor out of your coffee. You can brew and steam at the same time, as well. This is invaluable for everyone who likes making specialty drinks or for entertaining guests. PID Controller: Control boiler temperature for searching out those elusive coffee flavors. The integrated shot timer compliments this by giving you a live readout of how long you’ve been pulling your shot. With the upgraded PID, the Synchronika can reach an industry-leading 2 bar of pressure. Direct Water Line Connection: No more refilling the water tank. Be sure to outfit the machine with a water filtration system for better tasting shots and improved machine longevity. Fast Heat Up: The Synchronika features Profitec’s Fast Heat Up programming, a unique heating cycle. When powering on, if the temperature in the boiler is 104° F or lower, the boiler will begin heating to 266°F and the PID will display “UP.” A “FLU” message will display when it’s time to flush. On E61 machines like the Synchronika, the flush takes roughly 20 seconds and will have the boiler, group, and portafilter at brew ready temperature in 11 minutes.
