ECM Synchronika Espresso Machine
ECM Synchronika Overview
ECM is all about a kind of refinement that beautifies the little things and strengthens an already top-notch machine. We’re happy to say the ECM Synchronika has been a credit to their mission of innovation ever since it arrived on the market, and it’s only gotten better over the years. To that end, we’re very happy we have one in our kitchen to play with.
Features and Performance
The upgraded PID and discreet improvements really elevate what you can do with an espresso machine. Expect shots that are exquisite, with 2 bar of steam power at your disposal for a decidedly surprising amount of kick when you want to make a latte or cappuccino.
Less obvious advantages can be found in the iconic E61 brew group, which ECM has updated with stainless-steel internal components, as well as a single top cap for a cleaner aesthetic that other machines lack. These stainless-steel internals add much greater durability and resistance to calcium build-up for more straightforward maintenance, streamlining the experience of owning an espresso machine overall.
When plumbed in, you can take advantage of longer, low-pressure pre-infusion to bring out the more unique flavor notes in specialty coffee. While this isn’t unique to the Synchronika, not many machines can do this.

I could not be more pleased with my Synchronika. It is plumbed in with a BWT filter, so I won’t have to worry about descaling. I considered a number of machines for a long time, and the WLL videos were super helpful. The flow control works really well. The rotary pump is super quiet. The fit and finish is exceptional. I would absolutely recommend Read more about review stating Absolutely amazing espresso machine!ECM to anyone considering a new machine!
I am grateful to the entire team at Harfan Coffee. They have been a pleasure to work with. They are knowledgeable, friendly, and capable. I have had a lot of questions and they’ve really helped a lot. Thank you all!

I spent close to a year researching pro-sumer espresso machines while limping along on an older dual boiler that produced okay espresso for over 12 years. I had bookmarked harfan coffee several years ago as I enjoyed their large selection of videos on everything espresso. Marc’s enthusiasm and knowledge of the ECM Synchronika machine along withRead more about review stating ECM Synchronika is on a level of its own. the videos of EMC’s production facilities finally convinced me that the EMC Synchronika was what I had been looking for. After ordering, shipment from the East Coast to Washington State, was surprisingly quick. After placing the machine on my kitchen island its construction and beauty are amazing. My first couple of espresso’s were not spectacular as it took a few times to learn the Synchronika work flow process. Now that I’ve had it for almost two weeks I’m more than pleased with the results. What I really like about the ECM: the upgraded headgroup, steam and hot water valves, pressure gages mounted at top of the front panel, no burn steam wand and hot water despensor, the rotatorary pump, and it’s quality construction. My shots continue to improve daily as I’m relearning my work flow processes from grinding to steaming by watching Marc’s how-to videos. My Synchronika is a pleasure to use and a beauty to look at. I’m very pleased with my purchase and look forward to many years of producing exceptional espressos and lattes.

Had an issue with shipping. Machine came damaged. Whole latte love stepped up and sent a replacement. No questions asked. Very glad I chose to buy from them. The ECM is amazing. Love the machine, highly recommend WLL and their products

The quality in the construction of the machine, the ease of use, and the precision of each shot are the perfect combination. Now I realize how the professionals do to accurately repeat each shot. Great machine all arround!
