ECM Synchronika II Espresso Machine with Flow Control

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.
