EspressoBot Comparison

Machine Overview

Machine 1, the Decent DE1 XL, is a high-end espresso machine with an MSRP of $3,999, designed for advanced users. In contrast, Machine 2, the Profitec Move, is more wallet-friendly at $1,999 and is tailored for intermediate skill levels. Both machines fall under the semi-automatic type, but they cater to different experience brackets within the espresso-making community.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing information, the Decent DE1 XL utilizes a touch screen activation and features a custom PID controlled group, with a primary heating element being a custom heating element. It boasts a heat-up time of less than 5 minutes and a 2-liter convertible water reservoir. On the other hand, the Profitec Move employs button activation, a saturated group type, and has a dual boiler with a heat-up time ranging from 5 to 15 minutes. Its water reservoir is slightly larger at 2.8 liters.

Features Comparison

When looking at key features, both machines have auto shutoff, boiler pressure gauges, steam pressure gauges, and pre-infusion capabilities. The Decent DE1 XL offers advanced features, including flow control and smart connectivity, while the Profitec Move provides concurrent brew and steam functionality and over-pressure valve support. Both machines come with a steam wand and no-burn wand, but only the Profitec Move lacks smart connectivity features.
