Profitec Pro 500 PID and is a very capable heat exchanger espresso machine built from commercial parts. It has a quiet vibraton pump and is one of the best in the market. The fact that the Pro 500 has a built-in PID temperature control in its heat exchanger gives it a unique advantage over the other similar models on the market.
Profitec is an espresso machine manufacturer that focuses on performance and excellent build quality, without compromising on simplicity. These machines have powerful commercial grade parts, professional aesthetics and still manage to be easy to use. The Pro 500 PID follows the same pattern and has a level of performance we've seen in much more expensive machines in a model that still fits under our cabinets.
Features and performance
Profitec Pro 500 The PID is an espresso machine machine that brews with a 2 liter stainless steel pan and a powerful 1400 W heating element, complemented by the fantastic E61 brewing group with also PID temperature control.
In combination with the E61 group that constantly circulates hot water, the Pro 500 PID provides a temperature stability that has not previously occurred in an espresso machine with a heat exchanger. The need for cooling flushes is eliminated, removing a significant limitation from this class of machine.
Why you should get it
Overall, the Pro 500 PID is superior in its price range packed with commercial grade parts and performance. The PID upgrade really shines and provides impressive temperature stability on an espresso machine with a heat exchanger.
