Profitec - PRO 300 - Dual Boiler Coffee Machine - Stainless Steel

Who are Profitec?

Profitec are a division of ECM based in Hieldelberg, Germany, offering high grade German engineering at a very high standard.  We consider them to be the future go to brand for 2023.

What is the Profitec PRO 300?

The PRO 300 is Profitec's first dual boiler domestic machine in their range, geared for use in the home or office, to produce artisan quality coffee.  It's compact, sleek in design and very powerful, constructed from steel and finished in chrome.

In the market of professional domestic dual boilers, it delivers way beyond it's price.

What are the key features?

Semi automatic controls: This means that it's not a 'Leva' activated machine (The mini arm that you lift up) like most other Rocket's or Profitec's.  Instead it is controlled via two front facing switches.

Dual Boilers: It contains separate / dedicated boilers for brew (Insulated brass) & hot water / steam (insulated stainless steel) which you can turn on/off independently.  This means great control over your brewing temperature and fantastic pressure in your steam wand.

PID: It comes with a digital readout on the front of the machine that displays the exact temperature of both boilers. You can adjust this setting to your taste, with darker roasts needing a lower temp and lighter roasts needing a higher temp.

Shot timer: It's PID doubles as a shot timer, so when you start your shot, it immediately goes into timer mode, displaying your time by the second.

Steam arm & Hot water tap: It comes with dedicated steam and water outlets, both stainless steel manufactured to a very high quality.  Supported by a dedicated service boiler, the steam is powerful to a commercial grade.

Dual use: Due to it's dual boiler technology, it can brew espresso and steam milk at the same time without dropping in power / pressure / quality.

Ring brew group: The brew group is produced from high grade chrome plated brass. The stainless steel boiler is directly above it, and is actually connected to the group head, which means you get super fast heat up times for making coffee.

What is so special about it?

Dual boilers are usually fairly expensive, as having dedicated two boilers, a PID and most other expected features usually pushes the price up a fair bit.  The next dual boiler in the Profitec range is £1695, while the R58 form Rocket is £2490.  The PRO 300 is a more digestible £1450, which is somewhat unheard of in espresso machines of this quality.

How easy is it to use?

The Profitec PRO 300 is a very easy machine to use. Due to it's separate boilers for brewing and steaming milk, it can be set to very precise temperatures making it easy to achieve great espresso shots with ease.

Once you have your coffee prepared in your portafilter, you can start your shot by turning on your brew switch.  You can then monitor your shot time via the PID during the extraction.

Switching to steaming milk is fast, by simply activating the steam switch.  Once done the PID displays the steam boiler pressure. Anything between 1.5-2 bars of pressure is adequate for milk texturing / steaming.

What is the build quality like?

All the machines in the Profitec range are built to a very high standard, and the PRO 300 is no exception.  It's very well produced, with clean lines, precise fittings and a beautiful layout of features and controls.
