Description

The German-designed ECM Synchronika II is a dual-boiler espresso machine that offers the most premium E61 espresso-making experience with its unrivaled build quality and performance. The Synchronika II is less of a sequel and more of a refinement of the original model. The new OLED PID screen's navigation is tactile and intuitive with features such as passive & active pre-infusion and scheduling a daily on/off timer. With subtle race car-inspired elements and customization with handmade hardwoods, enjoy serving a dinner party as much as a morning espresso. Ready to pull shots in 6.5 minutes, the Synchronika's fast heat-up mode is first in class for all E61 espresso machines. This classic, dual boiler espresso machine just got an upgrade with the included LUCCA Flow Control device, allowing you to customize every shot of espresso by adjusting water flow and pressure at the group head from 0 to 10 bar.

Currently shipping with a non-branded black and white gauge - LUCCA gauges are available upon request when back in stock.

"With the very first sip from the very first espresso extracted from our new Synchronika, my wife asked in an amazed voice “is this the same coffee?” It was. Nothing more to say."

Need to Know

The ECM Synchronika II with Flow Control is one of the most complete dual boiler E61 espresso machines you can put on a home countertop. Built in Heidelberg, Germany, with a stainless steel and walnut aesthetic that earns its place in a kitchen, it pairs a rotary pump, independent brew and steam boilers, and the LUCCA E61 Stainless Steel flow control device pre-installed by the Clive team into a platform that serious home baristas can grow into for years without outgrowing. It sits at the top of the prosumer tier: less than a single-group commercial machine, more capable than anything in the entry-level bracket, and built to last decades rather than upgrade cycles.

Key Features

  • LUCCA E61 Flow Control Device (Pre-Installed): Adjust flow rate in real time during extraction to manipulate pressure profiling. Stretch a pre-infusion, ramp up mid-shot, or taper at the end to highlight sweetness, acidity, or body in the same coffee. It's the single most impactful upgrade in modern E61 brewing, and it's ready to go out of the box.
  • Dual Boiler System: Separate brew and steam boilers let you pull a shot and texture milk simultaneously. 
  • Rotary Pump with Switchable Water Supply: Whisper-quiet rotary vane pump runs off the internal reservoir or a direct water line. Start on the reservoir out of the box or plumb in whenever you desire.
  • 6.5-Minute Heat-Up: A fast heat-up mode brings both boilers to temperature faster than any E61 competitor. 
  • OLED PID Display with Tactile Knob: Brew temperature, steam pressure, pre-infusion duration, auto-on/off scheduling, and shot timer, all accessible through a single intuitive interface. 
  • Commercial-Grade 2-Bar Steam Pressure: Enough steam power to texture latte art-quality microfoam quickly, even when you're making back-to-back drinks for guests.
  • Built-In Shot Timer
  • Drainable Drip Tray (optional): A drain hose (not included with the machine accessories) lets you route waste water to a container below the counter, reducing the most tedious part of daily machine maintenance.

Ideal For

The ECM Synchronika II with Flow Control is built for intermediate to advanced home baristas who want a forever machine right away. Weekend brunch hosts will appreciate the commercial-grade steam power and dual-boiler independence; weekday ritual brewers will love the fast heat-up and flow-control precision. If you want the best dual-boiler E61 espresso machine under $4,000 and expert support to get the most from it, the Synchronika II with flow control is the obvious choice.
