Which to choose
- Boiler — the deciding spec. The Jura E8 uses a thermoblock / thermocoil and the Profitec Pro 600 a dual boiler. Heats water on demand through a metal block instead of holding a boiler tank. Fast to ready, compact, common in entry machines; temperature stability is the trade-off. Separate boilers for brew and steam, each independently temperature-controlled. The most stable, most flexible architecture — and the most expensive. This drives most of the milk-drink workflow and price difference between them.
- Control. The E8 is super auto, the Pro 600 is semi auto — the super-automatic grinds, doses and brews at the push of a button; the semi-automatic trades that convenience for hands-on control of the shot.
- Temperature. The Profitec Pro 600 has PID temperature control (steadier shot-to-shot consistency); the Jura E8 does not.
- Reach. The E8 also fits bean-to-cup (super-automatic).
- Reach. The Pro 600 also fits enthusiast / dialed-in.
