Profitec Pro 500 PID Espresso Machine with Walnut Accents
Profitec Pro 500 PID with Walnut Accents Overview
Now Shipping With a Double Spout and Bottomless Portafilter
The Profitec Pro 500 PID with Walnut Accents follows in the footsteps of other machines from Profitec with tremendous performance and distinguished build quality without compromising on simplicity. The Pro 500 boasts commercial-grade parts and professional aesthetics while still managing to be easy-to-use. The updated version of the Pro 500 PID offers a level of performance we’ve seen in much more expensive machines and introduces a now visible PID and shot timer and striking new black pressure gauges.
Features and Performance
With the Pro 500 PID, you’ll get a heat exchanger machine that brews with a 2L stainless steel boiler and a powerful 1400W heating element. The boiler is complemented nicely by the iconic E61 brew group, but the PID control is the real showstopper here.
In combination with the engineered thermosyphon system in the E61 group, the Pro 500 PID lends a level of temperature stability previously unheard of in a heat exchanger espresso machine. The need for cooling flushes is eliminated, removing a considerable limitation from this class of espresso machine. When set to a temperature of 256° Fahrenheit, pressure stabilizes for near indefinite steaming while eliminating the necessity of a cooling flush under most circumstances.
With the 2022 update of the Pro 500, Profitec has moved the PID temperature display to make it easier to view. Before, the display was hidden behind the drip tray, but now it’s on the face of the machine. This will help you make sure your espresso machine is set at the correct temperature so you can brew with all of the exact settings that you want. In addition, the PID display now doubles as a shot timer and allows you to easily change other settings such as the programmable eco mode and backflush reminders.

My first espresso machine. Ever. And I’m learning all the details of using the equipment. So far focusing on espresso rather than steaming. It took a few tries to figure out how the flow control worked, but got that down now too.

After 20 years retired my old Italian. This Profitec Pro 500 is really a game changer for me….build quality, flow control etc.
Five stars for “HarfanCoffee” for pricing, shipping and tech support.

I purchased this machine in Jan 2022 from HFC after considering Pro 300, Pro 600, mechanika, classika. All 4 machines had something going for them, but I thought Pro 500 w/fc was the most inclusive in the “check box” for my options list. I wanted the E61 group head for ease of maintenance, PID availability for temp control, and flow control. Dual Read more about review stating After 5 months of daily usageboiler vs. Hx was tough, but I decided with Hx, because I didn’t make milk-based beverages on daily basis. I have been doing basic maintenance required and I have had no problem cleaning, adjusting brew pressure, scaling, wiping, etc. HFC representatives were a delight to work with for purchase and maintenance. I will be making many more future purchases here.

An amazing espresso machine that can delight any home barista. Well made and a beautiful machine with performance rivaling dual boilers at twice the price. The only miss on this machine is a shot timer. I bought a separate tamper as some the reviews mentioned a cheap plastic tamer that came with the unit, however the included tamper is decent and Read more about review stating Almost perfect machinedoes as a good a job as the expensive ones
