EspressoBot Comparison

Machine Overview

The Profitec Pro 700 is a high-end semi-automatic espresso machine with an MSRP of $2979, suitable for advanced users. In contrast, the Profitec Pro 300 is more budget-friendly at $1849, appealing to intermediate skill level users. Both machines are produced by the same brand, Profitec, renowned for quality espresso machines. This pricing and skill level distinction highlights the target demographics for each model.

Brewing Comparison

For brewing, the Profitec Pro 700 features lever activation, dual boiler heating with a 0.75L brew boiler capacity, and an E61 group type, taking over 30 minutes to heat up. Conversely, the Profitec Pro 300 uses a toggle switch for activation, a dual boiler with a smaller 0.4L brew boiler capacity, and a ring group type, with a quicker heat-up time ranging from 15 to 30 minutes. Both machines maintain a 58mm portafilter size but differ in pump type, with the Pro 700 utilizing a rotary pump and the Pro 300 using a vibration pump. The water reservoir capacity is the same at 2.8L, but the Pro 300 is limited to a reservoir water source.

Features Comparison

In terms of features, both machines come with an auto shutoff and hot water capabilities. The Profitec Pro 700 includes advanced features like boiler and steam pressure gauges, dual PID control, and pre-infusion, enhancing the brewing experience. Meanwhile, the Pro 300 offers a slightly less comprehensive feature set, lacking a boiler pressure gauge and pre-infusion but still maintains individual PID control and a steam pressure gauge. Notably, both machines possess a shot timer, integrated steam wand, no-burn wand, solenoid valve, and over-pressure valve for better safety and functionality.
