The frequently-cited "endgame" prosumer dual boiler. Hand-built in Germany with stainless steel construction, dual PIDs, and an optional flow control device for advanced extraction profiling. The current version is the Synchronika II, with a much faster ~6.5-minute warm-up. Now sold as the Synchronika II (same price) with an OLED PID display, faster-heating E61 group, and auto on/off scheduling.
