Hi Sebastian, Thanks for the comment. The Pro 700 is one well built machine!

Hi SuperDave, Thanks for your comment! We do our best to inform. You are welcome!

Hi Bruno, Thanks for your comment! The Pro 700 does not disappoint! Not to throw a wrinkle into your decision, but as mentioned elsewhere in the comments you owe to yourself to check out the ECM Synchronika as well. The internals are essentially identical to the Pro 700 but it comes with some added touches to the exterior, an included tamper and an innovative case design. See the review video here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ntueedloqpuVfGw.html

What did you end up getting? and did you like it?

Hi Jake, You are welcome! Thanks for your comment a whole latte :)

Hi Rick, Thanks for the kind comments., Todd does know his espresso machines! He's likely been inside more machines than anyone in the US. Guessing you're considering the ECM Synchronika? It is a fine upgrade for another 200. The machines are essentially identical on the inside. The ECM is more refined in the exterior finish detail, has angled PF and includes a quality tamper. ECM also has a unique outer case which allows for quick/easy panel removal. One last difference are the steam and hot water valves. Both machines utilize low wear sprung valves with the ECM's operated with levers and the PP700 using knobs. Please let us know if you have any questions.

Whole Latte Love I do have a question on the 300 model. What's with the steam boiler pressure guage over showing brew pressure which I find more useful. The 300 is really all I need but lack of showing brew pressure makes it a no buy for me. I'm down to drinking just amercanos with my second BDB which is on its last legs. Will eventually rebuild it as a project but I want a new machine now. The fit & finish on the Synchronika is stunning!

Hi Daniel, Thanks for your comment. We do our best to provide the most detailed information on espresso machines.

Hi am, Thanks for the comment! I love the Pro 700! Search our channel for "700" and you'll see it gets a whole latte love appearing in more than 37 videos! Marc

Hi Hailex, Thanks for the comment! We visited the Profitec/ECM production facility in Italy a couple of months ago. If you are interested in seeing the place where your future machine is built and hearing about the passion for innovation at Profitec/ECM here's some video from our visit: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gZaCfJijyeCYh6s.html Also, if you need any assistance/advice with your purchase we've got coffee pros you can talk to via phone, chat or email: www.wholelattelove.com/contact-us

Hi Victor, Thanks for your comment! You will not be disappointed with the Pro 700. Let us know if you have any questions.

Hi Peter, Thanks for the comment! The ECM is very similar to this machine internally. Big difference is a little more refinement of the external components. Greeting back from the US.

Hi Blues, Profitec machines are well put together! If you like the Pro 700, be sure and check out the ECM Synchronika if you have not already. It's nearly identical to the Pro 700 internals and specs. For a couple hundred more $$ it adds another level of refinement. Things like: extra detail finishes on the E61that match with lever and PF handles, angled PFs, included bottomless PF, matching logo etched tamper, silvered PID display and a truly innovative case design.

Hi PM, You are welcome and thank you for taking the time to leave a comment! Marc

Hi Ricardo, Thanks for sharing your thoughts. If you must have the gauges up top take a look at the ECM Synchronika. It's essentially identical to the Pro 700 internally. While the Pro 700 has excellent quality finishing and details the Synchronika takes it a step further with a custom taper of the E61 group head, upgraded trim accents, angled portafilters, joystick valve operation and the gauges up top! Marc

Hi JL, If you do the mod please send us photos/video! Next time I talk to Profitec I'll ask if an all stainless model is a possibility. I do wonder what that would do in regards to the thermal properties of the machine.

Hi hs, We will keep going! We have more than 1,300 coffee/espresso video on our channel. Thank you for the comment! Marc

Hi John, Thanks for the comment! A complete rebuild would be a really long video! We will be doing an E61 brew group rebuild video in the near future. In the meantime, here's a link to our Profitec Pro 700 Support Wiki. It has loads of embedded videos, troubleshooting info as well as manual and parts diagrams. Without question the most complete Pro 700 resource available: wiki.wholelattelove.com/Profitec_Pro_700

Thanks for your comment! We do not have a cutaway Expobar machine, but we have done a number of videos with detailed internal views/explanations of components. Here's one: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jNV9g9iKq7PYZ6c.html

Hi e, Thanks for comment. Yes K.I.S.S. design! Marc

Hi Philip, Thanks for your comment and video request! We'd love to do a video like that on the Duetto 3. Was very nice of our friends at Profitec to send us the cutaway machine for this video! Will see what we can do.

Hi ii, Thganks for the comment and request. I have some video of the Pro 800 in operation but don't think there's much on the internals. Check the product page here which will include any relevant videos: www.wholelattelove.com/products/profitec-pro-800-lever-group-espresso-machine And, you can find a parts diagram located in our suppport wiki for the Pro 800 here: wiki.wholelattelove.com/Profitec_Pro_800/diagrams_and_manuals Marc

I am no expert but from what i understand the brew boiler is always full of water so it can build pressure with the pump. The steam does not require the pump to build pressure, just heat so it needs a head room to build the steam.

Most welcome

Hi JJ, Thanks for the comment. Copper pipe is used in most every prosumer level machine. Never seen a machine piped with stainless. Marc

Hi Omar, Great Question! The white cylinder is a capacitor. It temporarily stores electrical energy. The capacitor in US model Pro 700s is larger and in a different location than EU machine shown in this video. On the sound... would have to hear it but could just be the pump winding down or perhaps a solenoid closing.

Thank you for reply.

Hi na, You are welcome and thanks for watching and your kind comments! I do have a video on how to descale espresso machines with heat-exchange boilers: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r6t3mdx70L23oYk.html The Profitec Pro 700 shown in this video is a dual boiler espresso machine. Most manufacturers recommend dual boiler machines be descaled by a professional machine technician. Those with proper skills can descale a dual boiler machine. It's more difficult and risky as dislodging scale in a neglected dual boiler machine during descaling may cause obstructions in other parts of the machine. It's also difficult to thoroughly rinse dual boilers after descaling. Best practice for dual boiler machines is to use water that does not cause scale in the first place. Here's a video featuring filtering products that maintain the mineral level needed for good espresso extractions but will not cause scale in a machine when used as directed: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z9xpirZ6vdrUn6c.html Hope that helps! Marc

No need for a fill probe in the brew boiler of a dual boiler machine. In normal operation the boiler is always completely filled. Steam boiler needs a fill probe so it only fills partially leaving head room for steam.

@@Wholelattelovepage Thanks Whole Latte Love!

Hi Andrey, We've done a few videos on source water for brewing espresso. I'll link to some info below. One might logically assume the purest water possible like distilled or RO treated would be best. Turns out that's not the case. You want some mineral content in the water (but not too much) otherwise taste tends to be very flat. I like to think of it like salt on food. A little helps bring out flavor and too much is unhealthy. For espresso machines high mineral levels cause scale to build up. For Prosumer level machines like the Profitec Pro 700 in this video which are plumbed in we recommend a high quality external in-line water filter like this one: www.wholelattelove.com/products/bwt-bestmax-premium-filter-package The Bestmax premium filter is a multi-stage filter so removes particulate matter and chlorine. Its unique feature is removal of scale causing minerals which are then replaced with magnesium. Magnesium maintains flavor but does not cause scaling.

Braided stainless hose typically uses a PVC inner core. Not aware of any using rubber.

Thanks for the clarification! Was curious as I had no idea what it is.

Hi Sky, Thanks for the comment. Never had an issue with moisture on motor.

Hey Nick, Thanks for the comment on the Pro 700 - it is a great machine. Sorry parts are an issue in NZ - that's strange! Not the case for our customers in US and Canada. Marc

Hi n, Thanks for the question. On initial startup the brew boiler fills. When making an espresso the pump pushes water into the brew boiler and from there out to the group. This way the brew boiler is always full of water. Marc

Hi TS, What kind of info do you need?

That is correct

Hi Esben, When you brew a shot the refill water will cool the boiler momentarily. But it recovers very quickly. Remember you are only using about 2oz/60ml of water. The boiler and other components have a large thermal mass which helps to heat that water and stabilize temperature. And, with PID control the heating coils within the boiler activate in short burst to quickly get back to set temperature. So long as the machine is fully warmed up the boiler will be back to PID set temp before you can grind, tamp and load for the next shot. As you mention, there are machines which use a heat-exchanger in the steam boiler to pre-heat fill water for the brew boiler. Another machine like that is the Expobar Brewtus. This works well but you do run the risk of overheating the brew boiler if doing many shots back to back. It's easier, faster and more accurate to heat a brew boiler with PID and arrive at preset temperature than it is to cool it down if it's overheated.

Sure Kirstijan, Checks in the mail right?
