Profitec Pro 400 Overview
The Profitec Pro 400 is a compact heat exchanger espresso machine and the most compact in the Profitec lineup. It keeps high-end features such as an E61 brew group and dual front pressure gauges while taking up little space. At 9 inches wide, 17.6 inches deep and 14.6 inches tall, it fits into most kitchens.
Its 1.6 liter stainless steel boiler can brew and steam at once, and a separate hot water wand dispenses hot water. A switch selects among three temperature presets and also triggers an optional pre-infusion mode and ECO mode, which is enabled out of the box but can be turned off and on again. Thoughtful details include a blind disc storage spot under the drip tray and four colors of interchangeable disclets for the front knobs.
