The ECM Synchronika II is a classic premium dual boiler, technically enhanced for a faster and more convenient everyday workflow. Two stainless steel boilers, a rotary pump, PID, a direct water connection option, and the actively heated ECM brew group combine the familiar E61 workflow with a heat-up time of only about 6.5 minutes.
Key advantages
-
Dual boiler: The 0.75-litre brew boiler and 2.0-litre steam boiler operate separately for espresso and steam.
-
Fast heat-up in approx. 6.5 minutes: The brew group is additionally supported by heating cartridges.
-
ECM brew group with stainless steel bell: Classic E61-oriented workflow with modern thermal support.
-
PID + OLED display: Precise temperature selection and clearly readable settings.
-
Rotary pump: Quiet operation and switching between the water tank and direct water connection.
-
2.8-litre water tank with filter adapter: Flexible operation even without a direct water connection.
-
Quick-steam and hot-water valves with a 70° opening angle: Fast, ergonomic access.
-
Classic pressure gauges: Brew and boiler pressure remain visible at all times.
-
Removable cup warmer and cup-raising rack: Practical details for cleaning and small espresso cups.
Classic E61 feel without a long heat-up time
The Synchronika II retains the mechanical operating feel of a classic ECM brew group while adding active thermal support. This brings the substantial group up to operating temperature more quickly. This is especially useful if you do not want to wait 20 to 30 minutes for a stable premium setup in the morning.
Two boilers for a parallel workflow
The separate 0.75-litre brew boiler focuses on espresso temperature, while the 2.0-litre steam boiler provides ample reserve for milk drinks. You can use the PID to adjust the brew temperature to your beans. Brewing espresso and then creating powerful microfoam works without the typical temperature change of a single-boiler machine.
Rotary pump and direct water connection
The rotary pump operates more quietly than a classic vibration pump and enables a direct water connection. Alternatively, you can use the 2.8-litre tank. This keeps the Synchronika II flexible: mobile on the countertop or permanently installed in a high-quality coffee station.
Who is the ECM Synchronika II suitable for?
For home baristas who love the classic lever and E61 workflow but do not want to make major compromises on heat-up time, temperature control, steam power, or water supply. It is particularly attractive for households where espresso and milk drinks are prepared regularly.
