Machine Overview

The Profitec Pro 800 and Bezzera Magica PID are both semi-automatic espresso machines with distinct pricing and skill level targets. The Profitec Pro 800 is priced at approximately $3049 and is designed for advanced users, while the Bezzera Magica PID comes at a lower price point of about $1839, suitable for intermediate skill levels.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing information, both machines utilize a lever activation system and feature copper boilers. The Profitec Pro 800 incorporates a heat exchanger as its primary heating element and requires over 30 minutes to heat up, while the Bezzera Magica PID also employs a heat exchanger but boasts a quicker heat-up time of just 5-15 minutes. Both machines have a similar group type: the Pro 800 uses Sprung Lever, while the Magica PID features an E61 group type.

Features Comparison

Regarding features, both machines include essential options like auto shutoff, pre-infusion, a steam wand, and PID control for temperature regulation. The Profitec Pro 800 offers advanced utilities such as flow control and a shot timer, while the Bezzera Magica PID includes a boiler pressure gauge and a solenoid valve but lacks flow control and a shot timer. Notably, the Profitec Pro 800 has features like concurrent brew steam and no-burn wand, which are absent in the Bezzera Magica PID.
