Best Dual Boiler Home Espresso Machines of 2023

i feel like i am listening to John Davis from the old motorweek car tv show...

Hello. Why you didnt use brands like laspaziale s2? or breville, cimbali, la marzocco linea mini or micra, simoneli and other brands? For example, is synrinzica the best dual boiler and is there another model that is not as good as this one?

Mark, do you guys sell to Mexico?

I Have an ECM Synchronika. Good machine for sure, but not perfect. Mine came with a problem: lever getting down completely when pouring espresso, stopping extraction after few seconds half of the time. The machine was brand new. Had to send it back two times to the shop. I wrote to ECM and they got back with a very ridiculous answer saying they valued my feedback and were sharing this info with their R&D department… and when I told them I was not impressed with such a response to a client who was having a problem with their product, they did not even dare to respond… this issue with the lever came back after few months. I had to find a solution by myself…

You guys should make a fast heat up time espresso machine guide. E61 brew groups are no go for me due to the heatup time.

I’m a long time buyer of coffee and equipment. Crem duo v or Ecm smart Hx. In building quality which one do u lean towards? Thanks

The Crem looks amazing. There's a part of me that misses the Expobar brand name though.

It's so annoying to try and view the video with the written conversation for almost half the screen. 👎

what is the best budgets espresso machine with rotatry pump? ( one group)

Great video fun and informative

Where's the ACS Minima? Oh that's right, you don't carry it! 😅

1-ON-1 DEMO IS A great idea

I have been searching for a direct and recent comparison of these machines (esp. Lelit Bianca V3, Profitec Pro 600, ECM Synchronika). Thank you!

What kind of temperature stability have you observed on the Crem One? I haven't gotten to open mine up but I've read a couple reviews of people who complained about temperature instability due to HX?

I know you often comment on their stability within a certain range based on your testing in reviews, and i was curious if you had these results for the Crem One.

Thanks!

Hi! What about Rocket Cinquantotto R? You don't future rocket machines in your videos anymore? Does Rocket Cinquantotto R have problems? How does it compare to ECM synchronica? I would be grateful for your comment.

LaMarzocco Linea Micra is certainly the top machine on this list. Had an E61 for over 16 years. Great to fix absolutely terrible ability to repeat my coffee’s. My second cup 40 minutes later would taste different without changing anything all because the temperature in the group head is different than the temp in the brew boiler which is different than what actually enters the puck. It may seem absurd but that is exactly why LaMarzocco is worth the price without all the features. I can make a repeatable Light roast better on my new LaMarzocco than I can with all the flow profiling etc etc. TBH I absolutely would have gone with a Dalla Corte which has addressed this issue if not for the increase in big jump in price from the LaMarzocco. I think in this day and age it’s time accept built in group heads.

Now the video for hi-end espresso machines, please.

I remember hearing the crem units were initially going to be built in China but then in Spain later on, looking at your video they’re still made in China, is your unit an old one or are they still made in China?

Was wondering if we might be getting a video on the Profitec Drive and it’s new features compared to the Profitec pro 700? I’d like to upgrade from my QM to a dual boiler rotary pump beast (if I can sell the QM that is)

Why the music in the background? Other than that noise, your video is great and your voice is awesome.

Hello Marc you recently helped me with my barista pro. Thank you. I am definitely looking to upgrade though. Does Whole Latte Love have a support system to help customers purchase a new machine based on the customers preferences. There are so many to choose from, I was hoping to get a professionals guidance. Thank you in advanced. Steve Bongiorno.

Hi Marc. I'm glad to see Lelit in your collection.
The ideal scenario would be to have also La Marzocco and Rocket, with Linea Micra & R9 available there 🤞
As for the Lelit Bianca, I find the white version my pick of choice. At almost same price, to get an "easier" to clean device with improved tray

Dear Mark. I have a general question and I trust you guys with your answer. Is there a difference in terms of the performance between ECM synchronika machine to the new ECM synchronika AMG? Or is it the same machine inside? Thanks in advance, Shay 🙏🏼

Feels bad when you talked up the Cream One and it's not available on your website and online forums have rumors about the company being bought or the products not being supported anymore?

Please come give us some answers on what is the deal with Crem and the profiler availability!

Thanks.

how come Lelit Elizabeth was not selected?

How come rocket isn't in here? Are they not actually good? I always see them at cycling shops

The video more like an advertisement than a review... You just focused on what you are selling and what you are selling more popular.

Hoe about the other brands like Bezzera, Quick Mill, Rancilio and Rocket.
These are fully neglected.
It's always all about Profitec, Profitec and once more Profitec.

Hey Mark, thank you for this video. Why does WLL not sell the Marzocco Linea Mini? If you have experience with Linea Mini (or the Micra), do you feel that the price premium over the ECM is justified? If yes, why?

I'm surprised how Profitec Drive didn't make the cut.

What are the pros and cons over lever and knob values please.

Bought my Crem 1 Profiler from Bella Barista in the U.K. 2yrs ago - great bit of kit

Rocket??

the best

Been waiting for this video to drop 😁

It’s just a real pity the ECM Synchronika doesn’t come in the brushed stainless steel finish without all the AMG branding and bits. Would just love this machine in a non mirrored finish

I’m really enjoying my ECM/AMG. It’s a smooooth operator.

Awesome video!

As much as I love the build quality and the look of the ECM Synchronika, I guess my choice would / WILL be the Profitec 600, since it's a lot cheaper and - as far as I can judge - has everything me and my wife need.

Thank you!

Hey Mark…hello from England…love your vids, they are so informative, this one especially so as I am in the market right now for my first DB machine…just one question; how long has Dave Grohl been working for you?…that was him early on in this vid, right? 😁…keep on rockin 🤘🏻

All of the machines that you reviewed are great but the wooden ECM Synchronika is a beauty.

Great rundown! I'm surprised, why didn't the Silvia pro x make the cut?

Where is the la marzocco ;-)

Hi Mark, love your videos! How would you compare the ECM Synchronika to a Bezerra Duo DE?

Ty, a prosumer espresso machine, a reel mower and a pergola are on my shopping list this Christmas!! 😂 this is perfect!
