Profitec Pro 700

Ended up rotating the spouts back around the way they were. Although the cups need to be closer to the edge, they don't foul on the lever.

On a different note. After having a machine with lever actuated water and steam I'm not sold on the knob style. I could say I'll get used to it, and I probably will, but why should I ? I don't turn my lights on with a dimmer switch...

Apart from that though I think the machine is just great. Very consistent.

Thanks Rusty. Yes I noticed I can't quite get 90 degrees on the PF handle, but I was referring to the spouts being close to the front edge of the machine.
I rotated mine 180 so they are in the middle of the tray, however I think I now know why they were like they were. Having the cups in the middle of the drip tray reduces the lever's clearance. At least with taller cups like bodums.

Yeah, happy to keep it the way it is. Just wondered why the option wasn't there.

The two heaters add up to more than 10A current draw, so they will be configured so only one can be on at any given time.

The double spout will centre more as time goes on with the seal being worn in.

It takes time for the group to warm up sufficiently and by this time the two boilers are ready for action so there is no need to have them both warming up simultaneously.
Enjoy your new machine,I have had mine a while now and loving the experience!!

Hi Greenman,

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, happy to keep it the way it is. Just wondered why the option wasn't there.

Thought I would have to dial things in this morning, but first shot was great. So I pulled another to see if it was consistent, and it was. Really love this machine already.

Hi 700 owners. I just picked up my new machine, and I was wondering about heating the boilers at the same time, however I see the option has been removed from the service menu. Is this due to both boilers using more than 2400watts ?

Second question. I want to rotate the spout on the dual PF so it is more central on the drip tray. Does anyone have any advice on this ? I was thinking, heat it up and gently rotate. I'm assuming there is loctite on the threads.

Anything else I should know or do ?

Cheers
Jamie

There's a cafe in Haberfield in Sydney, that has a new machine with clear panels on it. Looks like glass. The machine is labelled Will & Co. looks pretty cool.

Why not just glass?

[trentski]

Clear aluminium maybe?

Might be worth checking with the manufacturer if it's the right application as well. In my experience, some plexiglass can fog up, craze, or/and becoming yellow in the long run, especially with heat & UV. The newer La Pavoni has a plastic sight glass cover that almost always turns yellow & cloudy after years in commission.

Recently, after extensive research and contemplation made the jump to the Profitec 700 and T64 grinder. All I can say is...wow! I was expecting an improvement from my Breville dual boiler and smart grinder and I can only describe this as a quantum leap. I was hoping to buy once and buy right, future proofing against future intermediate upgrades. Absolutely no regrets. Thanks also to everyone who posts such great feedback and details on coffee snobs. This is an amazing resource so my challenge now is to post more myself and share my own experience in case this can also help others.

Awesome choice! Can highly recommend our site sponsors for service and price - if you're in Melbourne look up ****** Coffee, in Sydney JetBlack Espresso, or elsewhere just use the "contact all sponsors" quote form. You'll be glad you did! [emoji6]

You won't be disappointed with your purchase, I've got the same set up and had it nearly a month now, it's very hard to pull a bad shot.
But you will want to plumb it in next !! As like me I always run a heap of water to clean the screen after every shot and once a week use Caffeto EVO cleaning powder. And doing this without plumbing in your forever emptying the drip tray.

Profi grinder will get you all the functionality of the Titan, plus a few hundred bucks to spend on tampers, baskets, etc... [emoji41] [emoji106]
