Description
Profitec Pro 600 with Quick Steam Plus Overview
This refurbished Profitec Pro 600 with Quick Steam Plus is a dual boiler espresso machine that pairs PID temperature control with powerful steaming. The design has outward-flared steam and hot water wands, with cutout side panels that reveal matte black inserts. Its spring-loaded joystick knobs give the version its Quick Steam Plus name.
Both boilers are insulated, stainless steel and controlled independently by the PID: 0.75 L for brewing and 1 L for steam. The updated PID and safety valve give 2 bar of steam pressure, the same level as the Pro 700 and ECM Synchronika. Maintenance is designed to be easy to handle at home, as it is on those two machines.
Key Features
- Joystick steam and hot water knobs that can be throttled for short, controlled bursts or locked in place for continuous full-power frothing
- Independent PID control of the brew boiler and steam boiler
- Front-facing PID controller that also works as a shot timer during extraction
- Steam boiler that can be switched off so the machine acts as a single boiler unit
- Fast Heat Up cycle with a cooling flush for group head and portafilter stability
- Vibration pump fed from the water reservoir only
- Polished stainless steel housing designed for easy home maintenance
Who It’s For
Suited to home baristas who make plenty of milk drinks and want precise temperature management. Owners who like the choice between short steam bursts and locked-on frothing will appreciate the joystick knobs, and the reservoir-only design needs no plumbing. The steam boiler can also be turned off when you only want espresso, which makes the machine flexible for different routines.
