Description
ECM Synchronika Heritage Line Overview
The ECM Synchronika Heritage Line is a dual boiler espresso machine from ECM. It offers the same precision and build quality as other Synchronika models, finished in textured anthracite with copper accents. Knobs replace the joystick steam and hot water valves found on other versions.
A PID display handles the settings: each boiler has its own temperature adjustment, an optional prompt reminds you when to clean the group, a shot timer runs during extraction, and eco mode can be toggled. The steam boiler is stainless steel at 2 L, and the stainless steel brew boiler holds 0.75 L. Together they provide 2 bar of steam pressure and steady group head temperature.
Key Features
- Separate temperature adjustment for the brew boiler and the steam boiler via the PID display
- Integrated shot timer, optional group cleaning reminder and eco mode toggle
- Fast Heat Up programming that super-heats the boiler so the machine is brew-ready about 10 minutes after switch-on; a cooling flush is needed before brewing
- Fully stainless steel E61 group, which holds temperature well and resists calcium build-up
- Textured anthracite housing with copper accents and knob-style steam and hot water valves
- Near-silent rotary pump that can be plumbed to a water line, or run from the internal 3 L reservoir
Who It’s For
This model suits enthusiasts who want a refined dual boiler E61 machine with a vintage-leaning look. Anthracite and copper finishing helps it stand out in a coffee corner, and the PID gives close control over brewing and steaming.
