Description
ECM Synchronika AMG Limited Edition Overview
The ECM Synchronika AMG Limited Edition is a dual boiler espresso machine built as a tribute to AMG automotive design. It comes from a collaboration between two German brands, and only 999 units were produced. The Synchronika platform is dressed here in materials drawn from AMG vehicles, from brushed stainless panels to carbon fiber touch points.
Under the styling sits the familiar Synchronika hardware: a PID controller, a safety valve and an E61 brew group. That PID and safety valve pairing supports 2 bar of steam pressure for lattes and cappuccinos, while the E61 group carries stainless-steel internals and a single top cap for a cleaner look.
Key Features
- Brushed stainless steel housing, front and top panels and drip tray, with AMG logos on the drip tray and side panels
- Carbon fiber on the portafilter and tamper handles, the E61 brew lever, and the steam and hot water taps
- Speedometer-inspired brew and steam pressure gauges, plus red and white LEDs for the power and steam boiler
- Fast Heat Up cycle that overheats the boiler so the machine reaches brew temperature about 10 minutes after switch-on, followed by a cooling flush that brings the group head and portafilter up to temperature
- Stainless-steel E61 internals that resist calcium build-up and make upkeep easier
- Longer, low-pressure pre-infusion when the machine is plumbed in
- AMG x ECM badge on the rear, plus a custom ECM badge showing the production number
