What is it?

The Profitec Pro 600 is a dual boiler espresso machine with quick steam joystick-activated steam and hot water valves, an E61 group head, a quiet vibratory pump, and a built-in PID and shot timer. It runs on an internal 3L water reservoir and can make cafè style drinks for a single person or several back-to-back for a dinner party. With the fast heat-up mode, the Pro 600 is ready to pull shots within 10 minutes.

Who is it for?

For the home barista who wants to maximize utility and performance while preserving counter space. You enjoy making lattes and cappuccinos as much as you do straight espresso. The quick steam valves are offset 1″ from the center, enhancing your workspace and giving you more room to nail that perfect steaming vortex. Ideally, it would be best if you had something that will have you pulling consistently delicious shots while providing plenty of steam power to serve up milk drinks for yourself and a few friends. Most of all, you want something built to last and easy to maintain so you can rest easy knowing you’ll have great coffee awaiting you morning after morning.

Why do we carry it?

The Profitec Pro 600 brings a particularly unique set of specs to the table compared to other espresso machines at its price point, but it is undoubtedly more than the sum of its parts. It has all the amenities you’d expect of a dual-boiler E61 espresso machine. Temperature control gives you additional control over your extractions, and the built-in shot timer makes it easy to ensure that every shot is just as delicious as the last. Steam power is plentiful because the steam boiler on the Pro 600 can create up to 2 bar of pressure effortlessly. Producing even a half dozen cappuccinos feels perfectly practicable. Its vibratory pump is also one of the quietest we’ve ever heard. The heavy-duty stainless steel construction gives this machine a premium feel from start to finish every time you use it. For those not interested in direct plumbing, the Pro 600 is an excellent option, sparing the larger pump and fittings to make the machine considerably more compact than similar machines.
