EspressoBot Comparison

Machine Overview

Both machines, the Profitec Move and the Profitec Pro 500, are semi-automatic espresso makers targeted at intermediate users. The Profitec Move is priced at $1999, while the Profitec Pro 500 is slightly higher at $2099. Despite the difference in price, both machines are produced by the same manufacturer, Profitec, which is known for its quality and performance in the espresso machine market.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing capabilities, the Profitec Move utilizes a dual boiler system with a saturated group type, which allows for precise temperature control during espresso extraction. It has a heat-up time range of 5-15 minutes and a steam boiler capacity of 0.75 liters. Conversely, the Profitec Pro 500 features a heat exchanger and employs the E61 group type, with a longer heat-up time of 15-30 minutes, and a steam boiler capacity of 2 liters. Both machines use a vibration pump and have similar water reservoir capacities of 2.8 liters, sourced from a reservoir.

Features Comparison

Both espresso machines come equipped with a variety of impressive features. They share functionalities such as auto shutoff, boiler pressure gauge, steam pressure gauge, concurrent brew and steam, hot water output, PID control, pre-infusion, and shot timer. However, the Profitec Move offers dual PID control while the Profitec Pro 500 does not. Other features, such as the solenoid valve and no-burn steam wand, are present in both machines, further highlighting their quality and user-friendliness.
