EspressoBot Comparison

Machine Overview

Machine 1, the Profitec Move, is priced at $1999 and falls under the semi-automatic category, designed for intermediate skill levels. In contrast, Machine 2, the Bezzera Aria PID (Flow Control), is priced slightly higher at $2199, also catering to an intermediate skill level. Both machines are aimed at those who possess some knowledge of espresso making but are not necessarily experts.

Brewing Comparison

When it comes to brewing information, the Profitec Move features a dual boiler heating element, taking between 5 to 15 minutes to heat up, with a saturated group type and a brass/stainless steel boiler material. The Bezzera Aria PID employs a heat exchanger system, has a heat-up time of 5 to 15 minutes, and uses chrome plated brass for its brew group, along with a copper boiler material. Both machines require different activation methods, with Profitec using a button press and Bezzera utilizing a lever.

Features Comparison

The key features of the Profitec Move include auto shutoff, dual PID control, and pre-infusion capabilities, alongside gauges for boiler and steam pressure. On the other hand, the Bezzera Aria offers flow control, though it does not have an auto shutoff feature. Both machines are equipped with important features such as steam wands and shot timers, but the Profitec has a slight advantage with its additional PID controls.
