What is it?
The Profitec Pro 400 is a small, heat exchanger espresso machine with pre-infusion, a vibratory pump, and an E61 group head that runs off an internal reservoir. This unit includes the LUCCA Flow Control device pre-installed on the group head, providing an easy way to improve your extraction.
Who is it for?
The reliability, build quality, and features of the Pro 400 make it a great first or second espresso machine for the coffee enthusiast. If you're tight on space, want something with lots of power to make several lattes, and hope to delve into the world of pre-infusion and espresso recipe building, this is a great place to start or a respectable upgrade from a single boiler or consumer espresso machine.
Why do we carry it?
We trust Profitec with our life — or, at least with our espresso. This machine is unlike any other heat exchanger machine we carry because of its toggle switch that allows you to activate pre-infusion and ECO mode. It packs a lot of power in a small footprint and lets you customize the gauges for a pop of color to match your kitchen, mood, or general aesthetic.
