My pal Tony, barista americano or some other coffee joke it’s criminal to try to execute before I’ve actually had any, details the Synesso Cyncra, the “holy grail of espresso machines” recently installed in his home base, Victrola Coffee. Victrola actually ordered a testing prototype last year and has been upgrading its Synesso with field upgrades.
The first thing you ll notice is its austere stainless steel body. Stainless steel extends throughout, replacing parts that have traditionally been brass or copper such as the boiler and group heads. Brass is better at holding heat, but the Synesso employs powerful heating elements, some nifty design tricks and PID temperature control to achieve a thermal stability other machines fail to match.
Apparently, there’s a major coffee convention in Seattle this week, too, so I bet if we ask Tony very nicely he’ll keep us up to date on the latest in brewing tech.
