Profitec Pro 600 PID Espresso Coffee Machine

Description

The Profitec Pro 600 espresso machine is a dual boiler machine with PID temperature control designed by Profitec in Germany and manufactured in Italy.  The Pro 600 has a 0.75-litre stainless steel coffee boiler and a 1.0-litre stainless steel steam / hot water boiler, Ulka EX5 vibration pump and the E61 group head.  The brew temperature is stable and consistently matches the temperature set on the PID.  The steam pressure can be set up to 2 bar for steaming large jugs of milk quickly with a perfect texture.  Operating from a built-in 2.8-litre water tank the Profitec Pro 600 is a semi-commercial machine for ideal the home or small office.

Key Features

Benefits in detail

PID Temperature control

The PID (Proportional integral derivative) control system powers the steam and coffee boiler elements to maintain your programmed temperatures.  During espresso pour the PID ensures stable brew water temperature vital for the perfect coffee extraction.  During steaming the PID ensures strong stable steam pressure for milk texturing.  The PID also has a built-in shot clock, eco mode, steam boiler on/off option and a cleaning reminder.  

 

E61 Group Head

The famous E61 commercial group head is the same group head you will find in many cafe machines.  Made from 4kg of chrome-plated brass, it provides excellent thermal stability vital for great espresso.  The E61 passive pre-infusion system gently infuses your ground coffee with hot water at a lower pressure allowing the coffee to expand uniformly in the basket for superior coffee extraction.

 

 

Dual boiler System

Separate coffee water and steam boilers allow you to make coffee and steam milk at the same time.  Unlike an HX machine, with dual boilers, there is no crossover or compromise.  Each boiler is programmed independently to your requirements via the PID.  Set the coffee boiler to the perfect brew temperature for your coffee beans and the steam boiler to your ideal steaming pressure.

 

Dual pressure gauges

The double pressure gauges allow you to monitor the steam boiler pressure and the coffee brewing pressure from pre-infusion to final extraction.

 

Over Pressure Valve

An adjustable OPV (Overpressure valve) limits the group head pressure for optimal extraction.

 

 

Spring-loaded valves

Spring-loaded long life non-compression steam and hot water valves are easy to operate have a long working life.

 

 

No Burn Steam Wand

The steam wand produces a powerful dry steam ideal for texturing milk.  The Pro 600 comes with a 2 hole tip ideal for smaller 340ml / 600ml jugs and a 4 hole tip for steaming large jugs quickly.  The ball joint connection allows perfect positioning of the steam wand.  The commercial soft-close valve provides easy steam pressure control with minimal wear.  Cool-touch technology makes the wand easier to handle and easier to clean as milk is less likely to bake on.
