Overview

The Profitec Pro 400 Espresso Machine Stainless Steel is a small but mighty heat exchanger espresso machine that is perfectly suited for kitchens of any size. As the most compact machine in Profitec’s lineup, it allows you to save valuable counter space without sacrificing the premium features typically found on much larger, high-end espresso machines. From robust features like the E61 brew group down to the thoughtful small details like interchangeable disclets with different colors to match your kitchen decor, Profitec has considered every aspect in the meticulous design of the Pro 400.

Features and Performance

The 1.6-liter stainless steel boiler on the Pro 400 is crafted from durable stainless steel, providing a reliable heating element that will evenly heat up for your morning brew. As a heat exchanger boiler, it efficiently allows for simultaneous brewing and steaming, ensuring no downtime between preparing your espresso and frothing milk. You can also quickly and easily dispense hot water through the separate hot water wand, adding to its versatility.

Customizable Temperature and Brewing Modes

The Pro 400 is also equipped with a convenient switch that lets you choose from three different temperature presets: 248°F (120°C), 255.2°F (124°C), and 262.4°F (128°C). Additionally, you can use this versatile switch to trigger the pre-infusion process and to toggle the ECO mode. The machine comes with ECO mode already enabled by default, but you have the flexibility to deactivate it (and reactivate it) as you like, optimizing energy consumption.

Thoughtful User Experience and Compact Design

It’s evident when you get your hands on the Pro 400 that its designers put a lot of thought into user experience. Not only is the machine beautiful to look at, but it also incorporates small features that make a significant difference in daily use. For example, you’ll find a convenient storage spot under the drip tray for your blind disc, making daily cleaning and maintenance exceptionally easy. There’s also a large, removable cup warming tray on top of the machine, perfect for preheating your mugs or espresso cups. For a personal touch, you can choose from four different colored disclets for the front knobs of the machine and easily switch them out to match your kitchen aesthetic or simply your mood.

At just 9 inches wide, 17.6 inches deep, and 14.6 inches tall, the Pro 400 effortlessly fits into most kitchens, even under overhead cabinets. The cup tray on top is easily removable, providing convenient access to refill the 2.8-liter water reservoir located at the back of the machine. The Pro 400’s automatic shut-off feature will alert you when the water is too low to brew or steam, preventing damage to your machine. Even with its compact size, you still benefit from high-quality features typically seen in other prosumer espresso machines, such as an E61 brew group for excellent temperature stability and clear dual pressure gauges on the front of the machine.

With multiple temperature presets, optional pre-infusion, and rock-solid temperature stability from the E61 brew group and stainless steel boiler, the Pro 400 is a beautifully designed machine that’s built to brew great espresso and stand the test of time.
