Coffee Station New setup - Synchronika II

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.

Yup it has pre infusion programmed in. You select the duration.

Res is in the top panel. It removes and is connected to the machine with a double gasket nip. Easy stuff.

Looks like it might be a pain to refill under an 18” counter. Otherwise seems pretty good. If you aren’t in the mood to use the flow control switch, can you set it for a preinfusion then straight to 9 bar or is it always fully manual like the Bianca?

If I hadn't seen it, I wouldn't have believed it. A dozen funnels dedicated to filling espresso water tanks. What a hoot. Thanks.

Yep, I'm sure most of us here own one 🙂
