Machine Overview

The Profitec Move is a semi-automatic espresso machine priced at $1,999, aimed at the intermediate skill level. In contrast, the Profitec Pro 800 is a more advanced option, retailing for $3,049. Both machines are manufactured by Profitec, but the Pro 800 is designed for users with a higher level of expertise.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing information, the Profitec Move utilizes a button activation mechanism and features a dual boiler system, with a heat-up time of 5-15 minutes. It has a saturated group type and a steam boiler capacity of 0.75 liters. On the other hand, the Profitec Pro 800 operates with a lever activation mechanism and utilizes a heat exchanger. It has a longer heat-up time of 30+ minutes and a larger steam boiler capacity of 3.5 liters.

Features Comparison

Both machines come equipped with impressive features; however, they differ in specifics. The Profitec Move includes PID control, pre-infusion, and a shot timer but lacks flow control, while the Profitec Pro 800 has flow control and a steam pressure gauge but does not feature a boiler pressure gauge. Both machines allow for concurrent brewing and steaming and are designed with no-burn steam wands, making them user-friendly in terms of safety.
