Profitec Pro 400 Espresso Machine
Profitec Pro 400 Overview
The Profitec Pro 400 is a small but mighty heat exchanger espresso machine that is perfect for kitchens of any size. As the most compact machine from Profitec’s lineup, you can save some space without sacrificing the features that you usually see on high-end espresso machines. From the bigger features like the E61 brew group down to the small details like interchangeable disclets with different colors to match your kitchen, Profitec has thought of it all in the design of the Pro 400.
Features and Performance
The 1.6-liter stainless steel boiler on the Pro 400 is made of stainless steel, which allows for a durable heating element that will evenly heat up for your morning brew. The heat exchanger boiler can brew and steam at the same time, and you can also quickly and easily dispense hot water through the separate hot water wand.
The Pro 400 is also equipped with a switch that lets you choose from three different temperature presets as well as an optional pre-infusion mode and ECO mode. The three temperatures are 248°F (120°C), 255.2°F (124°C), and 262.4°F (128°C). Additionally, you can use the switch to trigger the pre-infusion process and to toggle the ECO mode. The machine comes with ECO mode already enabled, but you can choose to deactivate it (and reactivate it) as you like.
It’s obvious when you get your hands on the Pro 400 that its designers put a lot of thought into user experience. Not only is the machine beautiful to look at, but it also has small features that make a big difference. For example, you can find a convenient storage spot under the drip tray for your blind disc to make daily cleaning and maintenance easy, and there’s a large removable cup warming tray on top of the machine to preheat your mugs or espresso cups. You can also choose from four different colored disclets for the front knobs of the machine and easily switch them out to match your kitchen or just your mood.
At just 9 inches wide, 17.6 inches deep, and 14.6 inches tall, the Pro 400 can easily fit into most kitchens. The cup tray on top is easily removable to allow you to refill the 2.8-liter water reservoir located at the back of the machine, and the Pro 400’s automatic shut-off feature will let you know when the water is too low to brew or steam without damaging your machine. Even with its small size, you still get the high-quality features you see in other prosumer espresso machines like an E61 brew group for temperature stability and dual pressure gauges on the front of the machine.
In the box, the Profitec Pro 400 includes the following accessories:
Single Spout Portafilter, Double Spout Portafilter, 7g Single-Shot Basket, 14g Double Shot Basket, Backflush Disc, Tamper, Group Cleaning Brush

Very happy with the quality and capability. Clearly you don’t compromise in any way with respects to build quality, quality of components etc.. It’s a Prifotec through and through. With it’s temperature control options, pre infusion if desired and dual guage, I don’t know what else you really need, especially if you aren’t using it for “entertainiRead more about review stating Very happy with the qualityng” more than four or so at a time.

I love my new Profitec400! Its small footprint , high quality build, fast heat up time, excellent steam power , and aesthetics are all perfect for home brewing. I did plenty of research before deciding on this machine, and it offered all the features I would want , at a better price than competitors with the same features.
Being new to brRead more about review stating Loving itewing my own espresso on a machine like this, this machine provides a perfect mid -ground of control, without adding in too much complexity with alternating variables that may make it difficult to learn; hence the reason I opted for the version without flow control. Down the line, if I decide I want it, it’s nice that it’s easily able to be affixed if you should want; but at this time don’t regret not getting flow control.
The boiler temp adjustments work almost instantaneously. Brew a shot in the lowest setting, switch to highest for max steam pressure, and you have plenty of power to steam enough milk for multiple drinks. I usually leave on low to middle position, and have no issues for stream whatsoever.
Overall, great machine, high quality, well packaged, and sure is fun to use! I would purchase again 🙂
