EspressoBot Comparison

Machine Overview

The Profitec Pro 700 is an advanced semi-automatic espresso machine priced at $2979, while the Bezzera Aria PID (Flow Control) sits at a lower price of $2199 and is categorized as an intermediate skill level machine. Both machines are designed for serious espresso enthusiasts, but the Pro 700 is tailored for users with more experience given its higher price and advanced features. While both machines feature stainless steel construction, the different pricing reflects their target audiences and capabilities.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing information, the Profitec Pro 700 employs a dual boiler system with a brew boiler capacity of 0.75 liters and a steam boiler capacity of 2 liters, requiring over 30 minutes to heat up. The Bezzera Aria PID utilizes a heat exchanger and has a slightly larger water reservoir capacity of 2.9 liters, heating up in a considerably shorter time of 5-15 minutes. Both machines have a group type of E61 and feature a chrome plated brass brew group, but they differ in their heating elements and boiler materials. The Pro 700's stainless steel boiler contrasts with the Aria's copper boiler.

Features Comparison

When it comes to key features, the Profitec Pro 700 includes advanced options such as dual PID control and concurrent brew steam capabilities, along with additional safety measures like auto shutoff and over pressure valve. In contrast, the Bezzera Aria PID offers flow control, which allows for more precision in pulling shots but lacks the auto shutoff feature found in the Pro 700. Both machines have similar gauges for boiler and steam pressure, as well as features like pre-infusion, shot timers, and steam wands. However, the Profitec machine provides a no-burn steam wand, enhancing ease of use.
