EspressoBot Comparison

Machine Overview

Machine 1, the Profitec Move, is priced at $1999 and is classified as a Semi-Automatic espresso machine, suited for intermediate skill levels. In contrast, Machine 2, the ECM Synchronika, has a higher price point of $3249 and is designed for advanced users. Both machines are made of stainless steel, emphasizing durability and aesthetics. While the Profitec Move is targeted toward users with some experience, the ECM Synchronika is aimed at those who are more proficient with espresso-making techniques.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing information, the Profitec Move operates with a press-button activation and features a dual boiler setup, allowing for simultaneous brewing and steaming. Its heat-up time ranges from 5 to 15 minutes with a brew boiler capacity of 0.325 liters and a steam boiler capacity of 0.75 liters. On the other hand, the ECM Synchronika uses a lever activation system and also has a dual boiler configuration, but it requires a longer heat-up time of 15 to 30 minutes and has a larger brew boiler capacity of 0.7 liters and a steam boiler capacity of 2 liters. Both machines utilize a 58 mm portafilter and offer a choice between a reservoir water source and, in the case of the Synchronika, a convertible option.

Features Comparison

Both espresso machines come equipped with a range of key features. The Profitec Move includes auto shutoff, PID control, concurrent brew-steam capabilities, pre-infusion, shot timer, and solenoid valve, but lacks flow control and integrated grinders. The ECM Synchronika shares many of these features, including auto shutoff and PID control, while also offering similar concurrent brew-steam functionality and a pre-infusion mode. Both machines do not include integrated grinders, but they provide essential espresso-making features like steam wands and advanced boiler gauges, highlighting their performance in producing high-quality espresso.
