Profitec Espresso Machines

3 models · Updated · Germany · Founded 2010

Profitec is a German manufacturer whose range is unusually legible: the GO is a compact 0.3 litre brass single boiler with PID; the PRO 400 and JUMP are 1.6 litre stainless heat exchangers with three selectable PID boiler temperatures, switchable pre-infusion and an adjustable expansion valve. Every machine publishes its US electrical rating separately from the European one, its stainless boiler capacity, and its dimensions with and without the portafilter fitted — the kind of disclosure that makes a spec sheet checkable rather than decorative.

US warranty

Profitec warranty in the US is administered through authorised distribution.

Service & parts

Profitec publishes product cards and manuals per model and sells first-party wear parts including shower screens, gaskets and portafilter handles.

Repairability

Stainless boilers, standard commercial group hardware and an adjustable expansion valve mean brew pressure can be set and wear parts replaced without proprietary tooling.

Frequently asked

Where are Profitec espresso machines made?
Profitec models in our database list Germany as the country of production on the manufacturer's own specification.
What is the cheapest Profitec espresso machine?
Profitec does not publish list prices for the models we track on its US product pages, so we do not state one.
Do Profitec machines need descaling?
Yes — every espresso machine that heats water does. Use the manufacturer's approved descaling solution every one to three months depending on your water hardness. Scale is what ends most machines, not use.
Are Profitec machines repairable?
Stainless boilers, standard commercial group hardware and an adjustable expansion valve mean brew pressure can be set and wear parts replaced without proprietary tooling.
