New on the SYNCHRONIKA II is a compelely redesigned heating system which allows the machine to be heated and ready for use in 6.5 minutes. Both the espresso and steam systems are heated and ready in 6.5 minutes.
Actively heated brewing group
The e61 brewing group on SYNCHRONIKA II has been upgraded to incorporate a pair of cartridge heating elements mounted into the rear of the brewing group - these cartridge heaters directly heat the brewing group for a faster heat up time.
Wakes up before you do
You can program the desired time your SYNCHRONIKA II switches on and off for each day of the week - schedule the switch on time so that the machihe is heated and ready for first use every morning. Save energy and prolong the life of your machine by scheduling the machine to switch off each day when your coffee making is compelete.
Graphic OLED screen
Sleek OLED screen is integrated into the front of the machine with more detailed dot matrix graphics - an improvement over the basic seven-segmant PID display. Graphic menus are more intuitive featuring user friendly icons and instructions.
Improved user interface with rotary control
Easily navigate menus and settings using the rotary control - rotate the control to move through menus and adjust settings - press the control to select menus and settings.
CRAFT BEAUTIFUL ESPRESSO
High-end ECM e61 espresso brewing group
Designed by Faema in 1961, the e61 brewing group remains the industry standard for commercial coffee. ECMs own interpretation of this iconic brewing group delivers the function and temperature stability to craft stunning espresso.
Commercial filter holders - single and double
Full size heavy duty chromed brass commercial filter holders allow you to extract espresso just like the professionals. SYNCHRONIKA II includes both a single filter holder and double filter holder finished with high gloss black plastic handles and metal ends.
Dedicated coffee boiler delivers hot fresh brewing water at just the right temperature
Double boiler setup means water for espresso is delivered from a dedicated coffee water boiler with super stable brew temperature. Heavy duty 0.75L stainless steel coffee boiler delivers water for brewing espresso.
Digital PID temperature control delivers stable brew temperature
Heating of the coffee brew boiler and brewing group is controlled by a digital temperature controller - this system constantly switches the heating system to maintain consistent and stable brew water temperature. This system improves espresso consistency my eliminating brewing at too high or too low temperature - for more consistent and better tasting espresso.
Set the right temperature to suit your coffee
Brew temperature can be adjusted to suit your taste and the coffee you are using. Many specialty coffees are best extracted at a particular temperature - generally medium roast coffe is extracted at 88 to 92 degrees celcius, with darker roast being extracted at lower temperatures, and lighter roast being extracted at higher temperatures. You can adjust the brew temperature as per the coffee suppliers guidance, or experiment yourself. Or just leave it on the factory setting - you will still make amazing espresso.
Commercial rotary pump
Responsive and stable brew pressure thanks to a commercial rotary pump. Not only does the rotary pump deliver stable and repliable brew pressure - operation is lovely and quiet.
Pre-infusion
SYNCHRONIKA II offers a range of pre-infusion options. Mechanical pre-infusion is a feature of the e61 brewing group. You can also set active pump assisted pre-infusion, and passive soft pre-infusion.
STEAM MILK LIKE THE PROFESSIONALS
Professional quality steam for cafe quality milk
Steam is delivered from a generous 2 litre stainless steel insulated boiler opearting at up to 2 bar of pressure.
Powerful steam - always ready to go
Ready at a moments notice - steam boiler is always available (unless switched off) to help you create delicious velvety steamed milk for your favourite cappuccinos, lattes, and flat whites.
Steam power - adjustable to suit your needs
Steam temperature is adjustable up to a maximum 132 degrees celcius for all-out power - you can lower the steam temperature for less powerful steam - useful for steaming smaller volumes of milk or when learning.
Steam milk while brewing coffee
Double boiler setup allows steam delivery as the same time as brewing espresso. Heavy duty stainless steel steam boiler delivers steam independent of the espresso brewing system. This is the same proven system used on high-end commercial espresso coffee machines.
Lever steam valve technology - instant operation - instant steam
Lever operated steam valve allows instant on/off operation - lever locks in the on position so you can position the milk jug with both hands.
Steam arm with ball-joint connection - position to suit your style
Ball joint steam arm connection makes it easy to position your steam arm to suit your milk steaming technique - steam arm position is adjustable through 3 axis of movement. Position the steam tip back over the drip tray to purge after each use.
Insulated steam arm with "cool-touch" technology - easier to clean
"Cool-touch" technology helps to improve steam power while making the steam arm easier to clean. The steam arm is lined with a teflon tube to deliver maximum heat energy into the milk and minimise heating of the steam arm itself. Milk is less likely to stick to the steam arm - simply wipe it clean with a damp cloth.
Change steam outlet to suit your needs
A range of ORIGINAL ECM steam arm tips are available to suit diffeent milk frothing requirements - these are not included with your SYNCHRONIKA II but are available as separate accessories.
FAST HEAT UP
SYNCHRONIKA II features an actively heated brewing group for a radically faster heating time compared to traditional a e61 brewing group - the brewing group is ready to make espresso in 6.5 minutes.
WAKES UP BEFORE YOU DO
Start up time can be programmed for each day of the week - your coffee machine is up to temperature and ready to make delicious coffee before you wake up. Programmed start up means the machine is up to proper temperature and ready to deliver your morning espresso without having to wait.
SMART FUNCTIONS
Digital espresso timer
OLED display shows active pre-infusion time, passive pre-infusion time, and elapsed brew time in seconds.
ECO mode - standby timer
Save energy and wear on your machine by powering the machine down after a period if inactivity. ECO mode will turn off the machine after a certain amount of time - programmable from 10-600 minutes. ECO mode can also be switched off.
Brewing temperature adjustment
Brew temperature comes pre-set to 92 desgres - but can be increased or decreased to suit your style of espresso.
Steam boiler temperature adjustment
Adjust steam boiler temperature to suit your needs. Pre-set to 128 degrees, the steam boiler temperature can be increased up to 132 degrees for around 2 bar of steam pressure.
Pre-infusion
Both active and passive pre-infusion can be programmed. Active pre-infusion uses pump pressure to pre-infuse the ground coffee with pressurised brewing water for a set number of seconds - passive pre-infusion uses no pump pressure, just the water from the brewing system to pre-infuse the ground coffee for a set number of seconds. Pre-fusion can also be turned off.
Cleaning Reminder
Set a reminder to clean the brewing system after a certain number of brewing cycles - up to a maxium of 200 cycles. Cleaning reminder can also be switched off.
On / Off Schedule
SYNCRHONIKA II can be programmed to switch on and off at up to two different times for each day of the week. Once the clock is set the on and off times can be set for each day of the week.
Water Filter Reminder
Set a reminder to change the water filter after the machine has used a certain number of litres of water.
FEATURES AND DETAILS
High-end ECM e61 brewing group
ECMs own interpretation of the e61 brewing group - featuring stainless steel upper chamber insert to resist mineral and scale buildup.
PID digital temperature control
PID temperature allows you to set both the coffee brew temperature and steam temperature with a high level of accuracy. PID temperature controller maintains boiler temperature within +/- 1 degree for super stable performance.
Professional quality lever taps
Both taps are operated by a simple lever function - operate the tap in any direction to activate and flip it back to centre to close the tap. Both taps lock into postion.
Professional quality insulated steam arm
Steam is managed through an Insulated "Cool-touch" steam arm - this delivers more steam power to the milk while making the steam arm easier to clean.
Insulated stainless steel boilers
Steam and coffee boilers both constructed from stainless steel and wrapped in a insulating sleeve to maximise thermal stability and ensure brew water is delivered at just the right temperature.
Direct water connection + 2.8L internal water tank
SYNCRHONIKA II features a commercial grade rotary pump and exernal plumbing connection allowing the machine to be directly connected to the water supply (water pressure regulator and water filter is required) - or use the internal water tank. 2.8 litre water tank is sufficient for a large number of coffees, so you won't be filling it up every day. Water tank can be removed for filling or filled in place.
Elegant stainless steel finish
Quality craftsmanship is evident in the fit, finish, detailing, and materials used to assemble the ECM SYNCHRONIKA II. Stainless welds are polished and finished for seamless finish.
