The ECM Synchronika is the machine you buy when you've decided that espresso is a permanent part of your life and you want equipment that will outlast your kitchen. Dual boilers, E61 group head, rotary pump, PID control, and the kind of mirror-polished stainless steel finish that makes the Bianca look casual. ECM's manufacturing quality is legendary — every component is overbuilt. Flow control is available as a retrofit kit. The Synchronika is heavier and larger than the Bianca, which is either a plus (thermal mass, stability) or a minus (counter space) depending on your kitchen.

What to pair it with

Lagom P64
