EspressoBot Comparison

Machine Overview

The Profitec Pro 700 is priced at $2,979 and is considered an advanced semi-automatic espresso machine. In comparison, the Decent DE1 XXL has a higher price tag of $4,399, also targeting advanced users. Both machines cater to skilled baristas looking for precision and control in their brewing processes. Despite their similarities in skill level, the price difference may influence buyer decisions based on budget and features.

Brewing Comparison

For brewing, the Profitec Pro 700 utilizes a lever activation system and features a dual boiler with a 30+ minute heat-up time. It has an E61 group type and uses a rotary pump. In contrast, the Decent DE1 XXL operates with a touch screen activation and boasts a notably quick heat-up time of less than 5 minutes. The DE1 XXL has a custom PID controlled group but does not have a dedicated brew boiler, which differentiates it from the Profitec model.

Features Comparison

When examining key features, both machines include auto shutoff, boiler and steam pressure gauges, hot water functionality, and PID control with precise degree control. The Profitec Pro 700 supports concurrent brew and steam processes, while the Decent DE1 XXL features flow control but lacks this capability. Both machines come with a steam wand and no-burn wand for safety. However, the DE1 XXL provides smart connectivity, a unique feature not available on the Profitec model, making it more versatile for tech-savvy users.
