Machine Overview

The Londinium R24 and Profitec Pro 800 are both semi-automatic espresso machines designed for advanced users. The Londinium R24 is priced at $3,858 MSRP, while the Profitec Pro 800 is more affordable at $3,049 MSRP. Both machines are crafted from stainless steel, ensuring durability and quality. Despite their price differences, both cater to the same skill level, appealing to those with considerable espresso-making experience.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing capabilities, both machines utilize a sprung lever activation. The Londinium R24 features a heat exchanger with a steam boiler capacity of 2.3 liters, while the Profitec Pro 800 has a larger steam boiler capacity of 3.5 liters but requires a longer heat-up time of over 30 minutes. The Londinium R24 has a heat-up time ranging from 15 to 30 minutes and uses a rotary pump, whereas the Profitec employs a vibration pump for operation. Both machines have a portafilter size of 58 mm, providing compatibility with many espresso accessories.

Features Comparison

When examining their key features, the Londinium R24 is equipped with pre-infusion capabilities and concurrent brew and steam functionalities, but it lacks auto shutoff and a steam pressure gauge. Conversely, the Profitec Pro 800 includes an automatic shutoff feature, a steam pressure gauge, and PID control for precise temperature management, along with steam wand functionality with a no-burn design. Both machines allow for hot water dispensation and flow control, making them versatile options for brewing. Additionally, the Profitec Pro 800 offers a shot timer and an overpressure valve, enhancing user experience and precision.
