EspressoBot Comparison

Machine Overview

Machine 1, the La Pavoni Europiccola, is a manual espresso machine priced at approximately $730, catering to advanced users. In contrast, Machine 2, the Profitec Move, is a semi-automatic machine with a higher price point of about $1999, designed for intermediate skill levels. Both brands highlight their premium nature with professional-grade capabilities, but the target user differs significantly.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing information, the La Pavoni Europiccola uses a lever activation system, with a single boiler and a heat-up time of less than 5 minutes. It features a pump type of mechanical piston without a steam boiler capacity. On the other hand, the Profitec Move operates with a press button activation and utilizes a dual boiler system, taking between 5 to 15 minutes to heat up. Its saturated group type provides a different brewing experience, with a vibration pump and a larger brew boiler capacity.

Features Comparison

When comparing features, the La Pavoni Europiccola lacks an auto shutoff, pressure gauges, and several advanced controls, although it does offer pre-infusion and a steam wand. The Profitec Move, however, includes features like auto shutoff, dual PID control, and steam pressure gauge, making it more user-friendly and capable for consistent brewing. Additionally, while both machines have a steam wand, the Profitec Move has a no-burn wand for added safety.
