It has taken me 7 years to bite this bullet. Endless research and giving up every single time. I always started the budget with “oh I’ll just get an ok machine for $500”.. Well I went down that rabbit hole for the last time… hopefully. The ECM Synchronika II is a beast of a machine! The Libra is ok and FH error is annoying, especially when there’s no override.. The wealth of knowledge in this sub is overwhelming and thanks to all the past threads for helping me finally choose!

Enjoy!
It appears there is a kitchen in your coffee station
Lol this exact same thing happened to me except I started at $1,000
Looks like my kitchen—Pourover stuff, couple scales, Moccamaster, Eureka Grinder, Turin Legato V2, portafilter baskets, dosing funnel, cleaning stuff, hot water dispenser, espresso cups, mini vacuum.
I work from home and have mine as a business write-off at least.
Happy with the Moccamaster? Im thinking about it, but in danger my wife kills me… 🙂
I got a memory on social that 5 years ago last week I was installing a PID on my Gaggia Classic Pro, paired with a Sette 270.
How are those 12th south roasts? I saw those at my Publix recently.
Love you too
Looks like a pretty machine, but I’m celebrating the one year anniversary of my Profitec Go and plan to stick with that for as long as I can. It makes darn good coffee.
It’s a choice to be dissatisfied with your current set-up and continue to upgrade.
Is this another Nashville synchronika owner I see?
That seems to be a good setup, kudos to you
good taste and chose the best machine
Haha as someone still enjoy my Breville after so many years I can relate.. every time I scroll here I ask myself if I need to upgrade
Make sure to get a group pressure gauge. I think they’re $30. It gives you a huge amount more insight into what’s happening in the shot
OP’s kitchen

No you don’t hate us.
Remember that while sipping on a consistently delicious espresso made at home.
Love the maple syrup lattes!!
Details on the plumbing to the moccamaster?
Wow a fellow Nashville Synchronika II owner? Hi!
Congratulations for seeing the light and being realistic about your budget. You’ve chosen well and hopefully you’ll be happy for many years to come. 😁👍
This caption is real af haha
I went the all-in-one ninja luxe cafe pro blindly – zero research. i saw a good deal (marked $500 when it was $750 originally)
then i saw this sub and returned it. pieced together a kit “to save money” and then, yeah… i’m over $1,000 in now. lmao
I just purchased a lelit bianca v3 coupled with a baratza vario w+ grinder. Hope grinder is worthy of this end game machine!
That’s not too bad start
Amen, I had a barista express and now I’ve had my ECM Classika PID for 6 years! Great machine
I have the Synchronika I and love it still
Sorry but your syrup game is piddly. Costco Canada sells a barrel for $2,500.
Come back when you’re done playing.
I once had the exact same set up as you. Congrats!
Nice looking setup. I just bit the bullet on a Profitec Go last night. One question….is that a rear fill? Do you move it forward to fill the reservoir? Does it create steam under your cabinets?
