We think with the Gaggia Syncrony Compact Digital Espresso Machine you've found a way to get the attention of the coffee fanatic on your shopping list. This fine piece of machinery includes a swiveling steamer for frothing up your milk and when finished the automatic brewing mechanism disposes of the grounds in a container big enough for 30 uses. Easy enough. But it gets better. The coffee grinder is automatic and features settings for both dose and grinding fineness. Other programmable features include temperature control pre-brewing decalcification cycle auto rinse water hardness setting and it will even count how many cups it has brewed.Measures 11L x 15W x 15.25H inchesHandy no-fuss removable water tank; fill in place or remove120V 50Hz 1250W power supply300-gram grinder capacityAutomatic Coffee CenterEven though the Syncrony Compact Digital can make any kind of coffee you can imagine most of our customers use theirs for "crema coffee" instead of drip coffee. Crema coffee is simply an espresso brewed to fill a regular coffee mug. This produces a much more aromatic and flavorful cup of coffee. As a result of the pressure brewed process (8 to 10 atmospheres of pressure) the gravity based drip coffee systems simply cannot match it. The Gaggia Syncrony will also produce hot water for other drinks.Push Button TechnologyJust press the brew button and the machine does the rest. It will automatically grind and extract the coffee to your desired taste. When the coffee is finished brewing the machine will place the coffee grounds into an internal dump box for later disposal (it will even tell you when it is full). Depending on the size of the coffee that you are brewing it will be done in as quick as 35 seconds and ready to brew again.LCD DisplayThe LCD display will show you what is happening in the machine. It will tell you when to add beans add water when to decalcify and even if the brew group is out of place. Use this also for system programming that includes temperature control language auto-shut off pre-infusion pre-grinding cup warmer temperature and cycle count.Adjustable Beverage VolumeYou have total control over the coffee volume (liquid) that is dispensed with three programmable buttons. These buttons come preprogrammed but can be changed easily to suit your needs.Adjustable Dosing FeatureThe Gaggia Syncrony Compact Digital has an adjustable doser that controls the amount of ground coffee used for each beverage (6 to 9 grams for a single shot and 12 to 18 grams for a double shot). Combine this ability with the "adjustable volume control" and you have total control over coffee strength and flavor at the push of a button.Adjustable Temperature ControlA special feature of the Syncrony Compact Digital is the ability to control the temperature of the coffee. There are 5 different settings for maximum control. The settings are Maximum Minimum High Medium or Low. Coffee Pre-infusionThis is another advantage of the Super Automatic coffee center. The first step takes about 2 seconds as it moistens and conditions the ground coffee. Next a 2 second pause allows the aromatic oils to leach from the interior of the coffee. The second step activates the high pressure pump to ensure absolute maximum flavor extraction with a perfect crema topping.Bypass DoserPerfect for those occasions when you don't want to be "caffeinated" or have decaf-only guests. This is also useful for experimenting with different types of coffees. If you are naturally a decaf drinker then use the bypass doser for regular instead. This is one of our most popular features.Adjustable Coffee SpoutThe dispensing spout slides up or down to adjust for different size cups. It adjusts from small espresso cups up to large mugs(4.25") with no splashing.Cup WarmerPreheating your cups is important. The Syncrony Compact Digital will hold up to six espresso cups and is electrically heated. When the machine is on the cup warmer will be on.Professional Conical Burr GrinderThe grinder has 8 settings providing plenty of control. You can grind from fine to coarse to accommodate any style of coffee roast. Light medium or dark espresso or regular coffee beans.Hot Water DispenserHot water is instantly available by turning the steam/hot water control knob. Makes 8 oz for a cup of tea or hot cider in 30 secondsPannarello wandThe Gaggia Syncrony Compact Digital comes equipped with a new Turbo Frothing steam wand.
