ECM Synchronika 25th Anniversary Edition Dual Boiler Espresso Machine
ECM Synchronika 25th Anniversary Edition Overview
The ECM Synchronika is a best-in-class dual boiler espresso machine, and to celebrate their 25th anniversary, ECM has released a limited run of special edition machines to celebrate. Featuring the same internals as the standard Synchronika with dual boilers, dual PIDs, a rotary pump, and so much more, this custom variant is all about the premium look and feel. With full anthracite housing, olive wood accents, steel pressure gauges and a custom badge with its unique production number, this machine is a piece of ECM history.
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.

This machine is a huge upgrade for me from my Rancilio Silvia I’ve been using for the last 7 years. Immediate taste difference in my shots and huge difference in steaming milk for lattes. My machine came with the flow control valve, which I’m not sure how to use just yet. Customer service recommended opening the valve 1 1/2 turns and leaving it thRead more about review stating Love, love, love this machineere for now as I learn to use my machine. I also got the Ceado E37S which I’m loving also. Enjoying the journey in improving my barista skills. All the videos HFC provides are so helpful!

I am upgrading from a Rancilio Silvia , and this machine makes the process so much easier. The dual boilers are fast to heat up and provide excellent steaming power and precision temperature control for dialing in your shot. It has been much easier to have consistent espresso with this machine. It’s an expensive upgrade but I am glad this is the mRead more about review stating Great machine so farachine I decided to move up to. Things which are missing that would be nice include connectivity to have the machine start/turn off at specific times, water level gauge so you know how soon you will need to fill up, and maybe a smaller footprint. But all in all, I would highly recommend this machine to anyone looking for excellent, easy espresso with fast steaming.
