Machine Overview

Machine 1, the La Marzocco GS3 AV, is positioned at a high-end price point of $7500 and is tailored for advanced users, offering superior control and precision. In contrast, Machine 2, the Profitec Move, is more accessible with a price of $1999, catering to intermediate skill levels. As a result, the GS3 AV is aimed at experienced baristas or professionals, while the Move is suitable for enthusiasts looking to elevate their home brewing experience.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing information, the La Marzocco GS3 AV features a dual boiler system with a brew boiler capacity of 1.3 liters and a steam boiler capacity of 3.5 liters. It uses a rotary pump for optimal pressure and has a longer heat-up time of over 30 minutes. Meanwhile, the Profitec Move also has a dual boiler but with a smaller brew boiler capacity of 0.325 liters and a steam boiler capacity of 0.75 liters, utilizing a vibration pump and a much quicker heat-up time ranging from 5 to 15 minutes. Both machines feature a saturated group type, ensuring consistent temperature stability during brewing.

Features Comparison

Both machines boast similar key features, including auto shutoff, boiler and steam pressure gauges, and concurrent brewing and steaming capabilities. They are equipped with pre-infusion, PID control, shot timers, and solenoid valves to enhance the brewing process. However, the GS3 AV includes smart connectivity, which is absent in the Move. Notably, both machines lack an integrated grinder, requiring users to source their own for grinding coffee.
