ECM - Synchronika 2 Semi Automatic Espresso Machine - 86274US

ECM is all about a kind of refinement that beautifies the little things and strengthens an already top-notch machine. We're happy to say the ECM Synchronika has been a credit to their mission of innovation ever since it arrived on the market, and it's only gotten better over the years. To that end, we're very happy we have one in our kitchen to play with. The upgraded PID and discreet improvements really elevate what you can do with an espresso machine. Expect shots that are exquisite, with 2 bar of steam power at your disposal for a decidedly surprising amount of kick when you want to make a latte or cappuccino.

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 cleaner aesthetic that other machines lack. These stainless-steel internals add much greater durability and resistance to calcium build-up for more straightforward maintenance, streamlining the experience of owning an espresso machine overall. When plumbed in, you can take advantage of longer, low-pressure pre-infusion to bring out the more unique flavor notes in specialty coffee. While this isn't unique to the Synchronika, not many machines can do this.

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 steam 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.

Highest flexibility

The steam boiler can be switched off if only espresso is called for. Also features professional quick-steam and hot-water valves in an extravagant yet functional design with an ergonomic movement mechanism

Handmade & High-End Construction

The machine is housed in mirror-finish, stainless steel panels. It rests on a one-piece internal steel frame, which protects it from bending or bowing during shipping or as the result of continuous use. Features a subtle, silver coloured PID display for individual adjustment of the temperatures and to indicate the coffee brewing time.

Optional Flow Control Valve

If you order the machine with the optional E61 Flow Control Valve, we will install it for you. The Valve Paddle allows you to adjust the flow of water (which will also control the brew pressure to some extent) in your brew group to manually profile your extractions. This component is a stainless steel needle valve, which allows the user to vary the amount of water flowing through the group. Variable flow control allows for lengthy pre-infusion for more even saturation and extraction of your espresso.

Similar to ECMs existing mushroom, the flow control device is made from stainless steel to resist corrosion. The resulting changes in pressure are reflected by an included gauge which installs on the front of the group. The E61 Flow Control Device can be installed on any ECM Espresso machine with an E61 brew group.
