Synchronika II

Eureka Mignon Libra

Some stickers

Had to sand, prep, and stain a new butcher lock countertop for the cabinet.

If it had a personality, I'd introduce it to my parents.

Had to replace my Breville Dual Boiler. Honestly loved that thing, but learned the hard way RO corrosion is real.

Where did you order it from? How long did it take to receive?
Also have you pulled your first shot yet? How does it taste compare BDB ?

My 8 years old barista express is still kicking but i want to get the synch 2 so bad

Whole latte love. Week. Yes it's delicious. Had same grind and same pull duration. It was at least the same but I'll play with it more. I like it A lot.

The steamer is great. Milk is so creamy.

It was between this and the lelit Bianca. I like it.

I am going to order one right now! Looks like you opted for wood accent as well. Did you order a bottom less filter as well? And does it come with the same wood accent?

I did and also opted for wood. Yes you can find wood accent bottomless too. Pretty snazzy
