EspressoBot Comparison

Machine Overview

The Profitec Pro 600 and Profitec Pro 500 are both semi-automatic espresso machines targeting intermediate users. The Pro 600 is priced at $2,399, while the Pro 500 is slightly more affordable at $2,099. Both machines are manufactured by Profitec, known for their high-quality coffee equipment. Although similar in skill levels, the price difference may influence the choice for potential buyers.

Brewing Comparison

Both machines utilize a lever activation system and are constructed with stainless steel for durability. The Pro 600 features a dual boiler system with a brew boiler capacity of 0.75 liters, while the Pro 500 operates on a heat exchanger system without a dedicated brew boiler capacity. Both machines have an E61 group type and a heat-up time ranging from 15 to 30 minutes. They also share a vibration pump type and similar steam boiler capacities of 2 liters, though the Pro 600 has a higher water reservoir capacity of 3 liters compared to the Pro 500's 2.8 liters.

Features Comparison

In terms of features, both machines come with auto shutoff, boiler pressure gauge, steam pressure gauge, concurrent brew and steam functionality, and pre-infusion capabilities. They also share similar functionalities like PID control, shot timers, solenoid valves, steam wands with no-burn features, and over-pressure valves. However, the Pro 600 offers dual PID control, while the Pro 500 has standard PID control. Additionally, both machines do not include integrated grinders or smart connectivity.
