EspressoBot Comparison

Machine Overview

The Profitec Move and Lelit Bianca V3 are both semi-automatic espresso machines but cater to different skill levels and price points. The Profitec Move is priced at $1,999 and targets intermediate users, while the Lelit Bianca V3 is priced at $3,199.95 and appeals to advanced users. The difference in price reflects the additional features and capabilities found in the Bianca V3.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing, the Profitec Move activates via a press button and has a heat-up time of 5-15 minutes, featuring a dual boiler system. It has a saturated group type with a brew boiler capacity of 0.325 liters and a steam boiler capacity of 0.75 liters. Conversely, the Lelit Bianca V3 uses a lever for activation, takes longer to heat up at 15-30 minutes, and boasts a dual boiler system as well, but with a larger brew boiler capacity of 0.8 liters and a steam boiler capacity of 1.5 liters. The Bianca V3 utilizes an E61 group type, while the Move uses a stainless steel build for its brew group.

Features Comparison

Both machines share several key features, including auto shutoff, boiler pressure gauge, steam pressure gauge, concurrent brew and steam capabilities, and pre-infusion. They both feature PID control that allows for precise temperature management and have no-burn steam wands. However, the Lelit Bianca V3 includes flow control, which is not available on the Profitec Move. Both models lack an integrated grinder, reinforcing the need for separate grinding equipment.
