EspressoBot Comparison

Machine Overview

The Profitec Pro 400 and the Profitec Move are both semi-automatic espresso machines designed for intermediate skill levels. The Pro 400 is priced at $1,599, making it the more affordable option, while the Move is priced at $1,999. Both machines are manufactured by Profitec, recognized for their quality espresso machines.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing information, the Profitec Pro 400 utilizes a lever activation method, while the Move features a press-button activation. The Pro 400 has a stainless steel heat exchanger and a heat-up time ranging from 5 to 15 minutes, while the Move incorporates a dual boiler system with similar heat-up times. Both machines have a water reservoir capacity of 2.8 liters, but the steam boiler capacity for the Move is lower at 0.75 liters compared to the Pro 400's 1.6 liters. The group type for the Pro 400 is E61, whereas the Move uses a saturated group type.

Features Comparison

When it comes to features, both machines offer auto shutoff, boiler pressure gauges, steam pressure gauges, and a steam wand with no-burn technology. The Move stands out with additional functionalities such as PID degree control, dual PID control, and a shot timer, which are not present in the Pro 400. However, both machines include pre-infusion capabilities and solenoid valves, ensuring they can provide a quality espresso experience. Despite their similarities, the Move's additional features may appeal to users looking for more precise control over their brewing process.
