In terms of brewing information, both machines utilize a lever activation method and are equipped with a dual boiler and a chrome-plated brass group type. The heat-up time for the Pro 600 ranges from 15 to 30 minutes, while the Drive offers a faster heat-up time of 5 to 15 minutes. Both machines have the same brew boiler capacity of 0.75 liters, a steam boiler capacity of 2 liters, and a water reservoir capacity of 3 liters; however, the Drive has a rotary pump while the Pro 600 features a vibration pump.

Features Comparison

Both machines share a range of key features such as auto shutoff, pressure gauges, and simultaneous brewing and steaming capabilities.

Both machines also incorporate PID control, pre-infusion, shot timers, and solenoid valves, ensuring consistent brewing results.
