EspressoBot Comparison

Machine Overview

Machine 1, the ECM Synchronika, is priced at $3,249 and is designed for advanced users, while Machine 2, the Bezzera DUO MN, has a slightly lower price of $2,969 and is also aimed at advanced users. Both machines fall under the semi-automatic category, appealing to those who want more control over the brewing process. Despite the price difference, both brands position themselves in the high-end espresso market, catering to serious coffee enthusiasts.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing information, both machines utilize a lever activation method. The ECM Synchronika features a dual boiler with a brew boiler capacity of 0.7 liters, while the Bezzera DUO MN has a smaller brew boiler capacity of 0.4 liters and uses a copper boiler material. Both machines employ an E61 group type, rotary pump, and can heat up within a range of 15 to 30 minutes. The water reservoir capacity differs slightly, with the Synchronika holding 3 liters and the DUO MN holding 4 liters.

Features Comparison

Regarding key features, both machines include automatic shutoff, boiler pressure gauges, steam pressure gauges, and the ability to brew and steam concurrently. Notably, the Bezzera DUO MN has flow control, which is absent in the ECM Synchronika. Both machines come equipped with PID control for temperature management, pre-infusion capabilities, and shot timers. However, the Synchronika offers a no-burn steam wand, while the DUO MN does not have this feature, which could be a consideration for users focused on safety during operation.
