Machine Overview

The Breville Duo Temp Pro is a beginner-friendly espresso machine priced at $499.95, while the Profitec Pro 300 is designed for intermediate users and comes with a significantly higher price tag of $1,849. Both models are semi-automatic, catering to users looking for greater control and quality in their brewing process. The Breville model is best suited for those new to espresso making, whereas the Profitec is aimed at individuals with some experience.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing information, the Breville Duo Temp Pro utilizes a button activation system and has a Thermoblock heating element with a heat-up time of under 5 minutes. On the other hand, the Profitec Pro 300 activates via a toggle switch and features a Dual Boiler heating element, requiring a heat-up time of 15 to 30 minutes. The latter also provides a ring group type and has a water reservoir capacity of 2.8 liters compared to the 1.8 liters in the Breville. Both machines have vibration pump types for optimal brewing pressure.

Features Comparison

When comparing features, the Breville Duo Temp Pro includes a pre-infusion feature and a steam wand but lacks an auto shutoff and PID control. In contrast, the Profitec Pro 300 offers a range of advanced features, such as PID degree control, shot timer, and a steam pressure gauge, along with the convenience of an auto shutoff function. Both machines provide hot water functionality and utilize steam wands, though the Profitec model also boasts a no-burn wand and an over-pressure valve for added safety during use.
