Machine Overview

The Profitec Pro 400, priced at $1599, is an intermediate level semi-automatic espresso machine, while the Xenia Espresso Dual Boiler is available for $2500, also targeting intermediate users. Both machines offer a blend of features suitable for those with some experience in espresso making. The Pro 400 leans towards a slightly more affordable segment compared to the Xenia. This cost difference may reflect in their respective brewing capabilities and features.

Brewing Comparison

When considering brewing details, the activation methods differ: the Profitec Pro 400 uses a lever system, whereas the Xenia utilizes a button activation. Both machines feature stainless steel boiler materials, and the brew group for each is chrome-plated brass. The Profitec has a steam boiler capacity of 1.6 liters, while the Xenia's is slightly higher at 1.7 liters. Heat-up times for both machines range from 5 to 15 minutes, making them similarly efficient for users in preparation.

Features Comparison

In terms of features, the Profitec Pro 400 includes a PID control system, pre-infusion capability, and two gauges for boiler and steam pressure. In contrast, the Xenia espresso machine offers more advanced functionalities, including dual PID control and a shot timer, but lacks an auto shutoff feature. Both machines provide hot water functionality and are equipped with steam wands; however, the Profitec features a no-burn wand, which enhances user safety. The differences in features reflect the varied market positioning of each machine, catering to different preferences and needs.
