Machine Overview

Machine 1, the Lelit Elizabeth, is priced at $1799 and is classified as a semi-automatic machine suitable for intermediate skill levels. In contrast, Machine 2, the Profitec Pro 400, is priced lower at $1599 and also targets users with an intermediate skill level. Both machines are made from stainless steel, presenting a professional look while featuring appropriate specifications for home or small café use.

Brewing Comparison

When it comes to brewing capabilities, the Lelit Elizabeth activates via a button and features a dual boiler, brass boilers, and a heat-up time of 15-30 minutes. The Profitec Pro 400, on the other hand, uses a lever activation and has a heat exchanger system, allowing for a faster heat-up time of 5-15 minutes. In terms of boiler capacity, the Lelit has a brew boiler capacity of 0.3L and a steam boiler capacity of 0.6L, while the Profitec boasts a steam boiler capacity of 1.6L but does not specify its brew boiler capacity. Both machines utilize a 58mm portafilter and a vibration pump.

Features Comparison

Regarding their features, both machines have auto shutoff, boiler pressure gauge, concurrent brew and steam functionality, hot water output, pre-infusion capability, and solenoid valves. Notably, the Profitec Pro 400 includes a steam pressure gauge, while the Lelit Elizabeth does not. Each machine lacks an integrated grinder and smart connectivity but provides a steam wand with a no-burn design. Lastly, only the Lelit offers PID control with dual PID capability, whereas the Profitec has PID control without dual functionality.
