EspressoBot Comparison

Machine Overview

Machine 1, the Breville Barista Express Impress, is priced at $899.95 and is designed for beginner users, making it accessible for those just starting their espresso journey. In contrast, Machine 2, the Profitec Move, has a higher price point of $1999 and targets intermediate users, requiring a bit more skill to operate effectively.

Brewing Comparison

When looking at brewing information, the Breville model features a thermoblock heating element and a heat-up time of 5-15 minutes, with a water reservoir capacity of 1.9 liters. On the other hand, the Profitec Move utilizes a dual boiler system, also with a heat-up time of 5-15 minutes, but it has a larger water reservoir capacity of 2.8 liters and employs a saturated group type for better temperature stability during brewing.

Features Comparison

In terms of features, both machines come equipped with an auto shutoff and a boiler pressure gauge; however, the Profitec Move also includes a steam pressure gauge and offers features like concurrent brewing and dual PID control. The Breville Barista Express Impress has an integrated grinder, which the Profitec Move lacks, but both include pre-infusion capabilities and a steam wand for frothing milk.
