EspressoBot Comparison

Machine Overview

The Profitec Pro 700 and Profitec Drive are both advanced semi-automatic espresso machines from the same manufacturer, Profitec. The Pro 700 is priced at $2,979, while the Drive has a higher MSRP of $3,299. Both machines cater to the advanced skill level, making them suitable for espresso enthusiasts who have experience in brewing.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing information, both machines operate using a lever activation system and feature a dual boiler design with stainless steel boiler material. The brew boiler capacity is the same at 0.75 liters for both machines, and they use a rotary pump for operation. The heat-up time differs significantly; the Pro 700 takes over 30 minutes, whereas the Drive significantly reduces this to between 5 and 15 minutes, providing quicker access to brewing.

Features Comparison

When comparing key features, both machines are equipped with auto shutoff, boiler pressure gauge, steam pressure gauge, concurrent brew steam capability, and pre-infusion options. However, the Profitec Drive stands out with its native flow control feature, which is absent in the Pro 700. Both models include PID control and pre-infusion capabilities, ensuring precise brewing conditions. Additionally, they also offer steam wands with no-burn designs and over-pressure valves for safety.
