EspressoBot Comparison

Machine Overview

The Profitec Pro 400 is priced at $1599 and is targeted toward intermediate skill level users. In contrast, the Profitec Pro 300 is slightly more expensive at $1849 but also caters to the intermediate skill level. Both machines are semi-automatic and are manufactured by Profitec, indicating a focus on quality and performance in their product lines.

Brewing Comparison

When it comes to brewing information, the Pro 400 features a lever activation and utilizes a heat exchanger system with a heat-up time of 5-15 minutes. On the other hand, the Pro 300 uses a toggle switch activation with a dual boiler system, requiring a longer heat-up time of 15-30 minutes. Both machines have a water reservoir capacity of 2.8 liters, though the Pro 400 has a steam boiler capacity of 1.6 liters, whereas the Pro 300 has a smaller steam boiler capacity of 0.8 liters. The brew group material for both machines is chrome-plated brass, ensuring durability and heat retention.

Features Comparison

In terms of features, both machines have auto shutoff and hot water functionality. The Pro 400 offers additional features such as a boiler pressure gauge, pre-infusion, and does not have a shot timer, while the Pro 300 lacks a boiler pressure gauge but includes a shot timer and PID degree control. Both machines are equipped with steam wands and solenoid valves, ensuring they provide a consistent espresso experience. However, only the Pro 400 includes the pre-infusion feature, making it slightly more versatile in espresso preparation.
