Description
Profitec Pro 600 with Flow Control Overview
This refurbished Profitec Pro 600 with Flow Control is a dual PID, dual stainless steel boiler espresso machine. The flow control version adds a knob that lets you change the water flow rate during extraction, so you can run a longer or shorter pre-infusion and adjust how the shot develops.
Both boilers are insulated and PID-regulated independently: a 0.75 L brew boiler and a 1 L steam boiler. The updated PID and safety valve give the same steam pressure as the Pro 700 and ECM Synchronika, and the machine is designed for straightforward home maintenance. The steam boiler can be switched off for single boiler use, and the PID doubles as a shot timer during extraction.
Key Features
- Flow control knob that varies water flow during extraction and changes pre-infusion length
- Dual stainless steel boilers, 0.75 L for brew and 1 L for steam, both insulated
- Independent PID control of each boiler
- Front-facing PID that also works as a shot timer while a shot is pulled
- Steam boiler can be switched off for single boiler use
- Vibration pump fed from the water reservoir only
- Polished stainless steel housing with matte black side panels and distinctively shaped steam and hot water arms
Who It’s For
Appeals to home baristas who enjoy experimenting with pre-infusion and flow rate to draw out more nuance from different coffees. Owners who want PID precision and a striking stainless steel design on the counter will also find it a good match, particularly if they like running a single boiler unit when no milk is needed.

Frequently asked questions
Is this Profitec Pro 600 with Flow Control refurbished?
Yes. This listing is a refurbished Profitec Pro 600 with Flow Control, a dual boiler espresso machine. The listing does not describe what the refurbishment involved, any inspection steps or warranty terms for this unit, and the features it gives are those of the Pro 600 with Flow Control model.
What does the flow control knob do on the Profitec Pro 600?
The listing says the knob changes the water flow rate during extraction, so you can run a longer or shorter pre-infusion and adjust how the shot develops.
What size are the Pro 600 with Flow Control boilers?
The listing gives an insulated 0.75 L stainless steel brew boiler and a 1 L stainless steel steam boiler, each PID-regulated independently. It says steam pressure matches the Pro 700 and ECM Synchronika but gives no bar figure.
Can the Pro 600 with Flow Control be plumbed in?
No. The listing describes a vibration pump fed from the water reservoir only, so the machine is not plumbed to a water line. It does not state the reservoir capacity.
Can this Pro 600 run as a single boiler?
Yes. The listing says the steam boiler can be switched off for single boiler use when no milk is needed. The front-facing PID also works as a shot timer while a shot is pulled.
