Its brew boiler is set at 0L, but it boasts a larger steam boiler capacity of 3.5L and a water reservoir of the same size.

Features Comparison

Regarding features, both machines include auto shutoff, steam pressure gauges, and concurrent brew-steam capabilities. The Pro 300 lacks flow control and includes features like PID control and shot timer, while the Pro 800 offers additional capabilities such as flow control and pre-infusion. Both machines have no-burn steam wands and over-pressure valves, but the Pro 300 features a solenoid valve, which the Pro 800 does not. These differences illustrate the Pro 800's advanced options suitable for experienced users, while the Pro 300 remains robust for the intermediate skill level.
