ECM Synchronika Espresso Machine AMG Limited Edition
ECM Synchronika Overview
Designed in collaboration between two German brands with the utmost commitment to performance and longevity, the ECM Synchronika AMG Limited Edition dual boiler espresso machine is the epitome of luxury home espresso. Featuring carefully crafted components made from the same materials found in AMG vehicles, this limited edition Synchronika espresso machine is one of a limited run of only 999 produced.
The PID and safety valve 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.

Thomas Bloom –
One great espresso machine, love it. Would definitely buy again.
Annika Sandberg –
This machine will work for all of our coffee needs and can make many espresso drinks back to back with ease! Much better quality than a previous machine that we purchased from a different manufacturer which we ended up returning due to a malfunction. So glad we went with ECM instead. The functionality is outstanding and it’s nice to look at.
Claes Mattsson –
Great machine! I went from a commercial machine to a home machine and this is pulls amazing shots, especially with the flow-control valve.

I’ve owned a Bezzera Magica for a number of years, and it has been good, but I’ve had to have it repaired numerous times recently. It takes 2-3 months each time for repairs. So I splurged and bought this beauty. The quality is well above the Magica in fit, finish, and performance. I am so happy I went for it. I haven’t plumbed it directly yet, butRead more about review stating So impressive. I plan to soon. If you’re considering this machine, I suggest you just do it. You will be thrilled.
Irene Strömberg –
Mark and team were excellent and helped me through the purchase. I am really happy with this machine.
Arne Mountain Branch –
I upgraded from a Gaggia classic. I love the Synchronica. Fit and finish is impeccable. Lots of steam power. The joystick controls are awesome. Portifilters are heavy and beautifully balanced with a high quality feel. I’m completely satisfied with the quality and performance. Thanks HFC for a great buying experience. Next on the agenda is plumbingRead more about review stating I upgraded from a Gaggia in the unit with a filter system. From day one, I used the water recipe from one of the HFC videos to protect it from scale but the mixing of various components with distilled water is becoming a chore
Anita Lindholm –
So far so good.. First machine that I ordered the water sensor was not working, it took couple of calls for follow up and emails before they decided to send a replacement machine. My point is it should’ve been checked before sending the 1st machine.. it took 2 weeks for the 2nd machine to come from the day that I sent back the 1st machine.. so farRead more about review stating So far so good.. First the replacement is working good..

Absolutely beautiful machine. Packaged very securely. Flawless shots when dialed in and flow control is a life saver when your grind is off. I’ve also had some of the most interesting flavors with the use of flow control. I customized mine and worth every penny!
