This video reviews the ECM Synchronika II espresso machine, focusing on its significantly faster heat-up time compared to traditional E61 group machines. The reviewer tests the machine's brew and steam boiler warm-up times, temperature accuracy, and steam recovery, comparing its performance to high-end and commercial machines.
The reviewer's two main criticisms of the ECM Synchronika II are:
The drip pan is too small (1L capacity), made shallow to accommodate the drain attachment. The reviewer suggests offering a choice between a shallow pan for the attachment and a deeper one for larger capacity.
The pressure gauges have black numerals on a silver-gray background, making them difficult to read from a normal viewing angle above the machine. A white background would improve readability.
