Overview

The Profitec RIDE Espresso Machine is a powerful reimagining of its predecessor, the acclaimed Profitec Pro 600. While retaining many of the great qualities of that machine, the RIDE introduces a host of modern touches. These include revolutionary simultaneous boiler heating, an externally-adjustable OPV, an intuitive OLED PID menu, a versatile modular portafilter, and convenient time-of-day programming, among other enhancements. Profitec has also updated the RIDE’s aesthetics, giving it a sleek black powder-coated housing complemented by a satin steel front plate for a truly modern look. The bakelite joystick valve and portafilter handles can all be easily swapped out for optional wood accenting to further elevate the style of this exceptional machine.

Features & Benefits

The marquee improvement from the Pro 600 to the RIDE is its groundbreaking ability to simultaneously heat both the brew and steam boilers. This innovation leads to a much faster heat-up time of a mere 8-10 minutes and provides consistently more robust steam power overall, eliminating waiting times. The RIDE also features Profitec’s new, advanced OLED PID menu, which utilizes plain-text prompts and clear, helpful icons for a more intuitive navigation experience. This updated menu gives you full, granular control over the RIDE’s comprehensive functionality:

- Set precise temperatures in both the brew and steam boilers.
- Program daily wake-up and turn-off scheduling so the RIDE is always ready when you need it.
- Program the automatic pre-infusion to mitigate channeling for optimal extraction.
- Turn off the steam boiler entirely if you’re only brewing espresso, saving energy.
- Access a whole suite of other helpful features for keeping your machine brewing optimally, ensuring longevity and consistent performance.

Precision and Capacity

PID temperature regulation pinpoints boiler temperatures much more precisely, while the dual boiler design ensures that each boiler is monitored and heated independently, guaranteeing greater stability. The RIDE features a substantial 2.8 L water reservoir, a 0.75 L stainless steel brew boiler, and a 1 L stainless steel steam boiler, ensuring ample capacity for multiple drinks. It also boasts two uniquely vibrant blue gauges that provide clear readouts for both brew and boiler pressure. The Fast Heat Up functionality intentionally overheats both boilers simultaneously, allowing them to reach functional temperatures even quicker, significantly reducing your waiting time.

Why You Should Get It

The Profitec RIDE Espresso Machine brings cutting-edge modern updates to a best-in-class dual-boiler platform, making it one of the most compelling options available for fans of milk drinks and precision brewing alike. Its PID-regulated boiler temperatures are coupled with seriously impressive steam power, which is made even more consistent during simultaneous frothing and brewing by the machine’s ability to heat both boilers at once. If you know you’ll be slinging lattes or cappuccinos for a crowd, or even just for yourself, the Profitec RIDE is definitely worth getting excited about. It’s a harmonious blend of power, precision, style, and convenience.
