The original Synchronika was already a top-three dual-boiler. The II takes the interface and heat-up time and brings them into the modern era. Cartridge heaters cut warm-up to about 6.5 minutes - borderline incredible for this class - and the OLED display consolidates every setting. If you want the heirloom-grade E61 dual-boiler and don't need flow control standard, this is our pick over the Drive by a hair.
What we liked and didn't
Pros
- 6.5 minute heat-up is class-leading
- Unified OLED interface with every setting
- Rotary pump and plumb-ready
Cons
- Flow control is a separate configuration
- Premium price, premium commitment
