Both machines fall under the semi-automatic category, making them suitable for users who want some control over their brewing process. The pricing reflects the differences in their capabilities and target audience.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing information, the Gaggia Classic Pro Evo utilizes a rocker switch for activation, features a coated aluminum boiler with a brew boiler capacity of 0.1 liters, and has a heat-up time of 5-15 minutes. The Profitec Pro 300, on the other hand, uses a toggle switch, is equipped with an eco brass boiler, offers a larger brew boiler capacity of 0.4 liters, and takes longer to heat up, ranging from 15 to 30 minutes. Both machines use a vibration pump and have a water reservoir as their source. The Gaggia has a 2.1-liter water reservoir, while the Profitec has a slightly larger capacity of 2.8 liters.

Features Comparison

Regarding key features, the Gaggia Classic Pro Evo does not have an auto shutoff, boiler pressure gauge, or steam pressure gauge, but it is equipped with a solenoid valve, hot water function, and a steam wand. In contrast, the Profitec Pro 300 includes an auto shutoff feature, a steam pressure gauge, concurrent brew and steam capabilities, PID control for temperature regulation, and a shot timer. The Gaggia's steam wand does not include a no-burn feature, whereas the Profitec model does, along with an overpressure valve. Both machines are designed to cater to different levels of expertise and brewing preferences.
