Machine Overview

Machine 1, the Profitec Move, is priced at $1999 and is designed for intermediate skill levels. In contrast, Machine 2, the ECM Puristika, has a lower price of $1549, also targeting intermediate users. Both machines are categorized as semi-automatic espresso machines, making them suitable for users who have some experience with espresso-making.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing information, the Profitec Move utilizes a dual boiler system with a heat-up time ranging from 5 to 15 minutes and features a saturated brew group. It has a brew boiler capacity of 0.325 liters and a steam boiler capacity of 0.75 liters. The ECM Puristika employs a single boiler system with the same heat-up time of 5 to 15 minutes. It has a larger brew boiler capacity of 0.75 liters but lacks a steam boiler, using a glass reservoir for water.

Features Comparison

When considering features, the Profitec Move boasts several advanced options such as dual PID control, pre-infusion, shot timer, and an auto shutoff function. It offers both a boiler pressure gauge and a steam pressure gauge, along with a steam wand for frothing. The ECM Puristika also has an auto shutoff and a boiler pressure gauge but does not include a steam pressure gauge, a steam wand, or hot water functionality. Both machines lack integrated grinders and smart connectivity options.
