EspressoBot Comparison

Machine Overview

Machine 1, the Profitec Move, is priced at $1999 and targets intermediate skill levels. Machine 2, the Rocket Appartamento, is slightly lower in price at $1850, also catering to the intermediate user. Both machines are categorized as semi-automatic, appealing to home baristas wishing to develop their espresso-making skills.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing information, the Profitec Move uses a dual boiler system with a heat-up time of 5 to 15 minutes and a saturated group type. The Rocket Appartamento employs a heat exchanger system, requiring a longer heat-up time of 15 to 30 minutes, and features an E61 group type. The water reservoir capacities are somewhat comparable, with the Move offering 2.8 liters versus the Appartamento's 2.5 liters. Each machine uses a vibration pump and has a 58mm portafilter size.

Features Comparison

Looking at key features, both machines offer auto shutoff, hot water functionality, and steam wands with no-burn technology. However, the Profitec Move includes both boiler pressure and steam pressure gauges, whereas the Rocket Appartamento has only a steam pressure gauge. While both machines support pre-infusion, the Profitec Move features PID control and a shot timer, enhancing temperature stability and brew precision. The Rocket Appartamento lacks PID control or a shot timer, yet both benefit from over-pressure valves and solenoid valves for improved espresso extraction.
