Profitec Pro 400 vs Profitec Pro 700
Two espresso machines a price tier apart — Profitec Pro 400 (prosumer) and Profitec Pro 700 (premium) for enthusiast / dialed-in and latte & cappuccino, compared on the specs that actually decide the buy — not review fluff.
The Profitec Pro 400 is prosumer-tier and the Profitec Pro 700 premium-tier suited to enthusiast / dialed-in and latte & cappuccino. The Profitec Pro 400 has a heat exchanger (hx) and the Profitec Pro 700 a dual boiler, which is the main difference. Match the boiler type and control style to how you brew; tiers are price bands — check the current price at the retailer.

Which to choose
- Price tier — the headline difference. The Profitec Pro 700 sits a tier up (premium) from the Profitec Pro 400 (prosumer) — you pay more for the spec advantages below. Tiers are price bands; confirm the live price at the retailer.
- Boiler — the deciding spec. The Profitec Pro 400 uses a heat exchanger (hx) and the Profitec Pro 700 a dual boiler. A single boiler kept at steam temperature with a heat-exchanger tube drawing brew water through it — so you can pull a shot and steam milk at the same time. The prosumer sweet spot. 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.
