If you look at Pro 600 you would think its the same as a Pro 700. In all fairness on the exterior, it does have the same E61 group, PID system, steam wand, and hot water wands. In fact, apart from a slightly more compact size, the only real unique feature to this machine is the black finish in the side panels. Even in the inside, you get the same brew boiler you found in the Pro 700 with a capacity of 0.75 L.

Where are the differences then? The main differences lie inside of the machine, for instance, the steam boiler has a capacity of 1 L and a vibration pump has been fitted instead. Despite these small downgrades, the machine has still plenty of things to make up with. The PID system allows for extremely precise regulations of the temperature and you get a shot-timer integrated as well. The Vibration pump is still very silent compared to conventional ones and the double boilers allow for a repeated brew and steaming simultaneously. 

An innovation that Profitec has made available for this machine is the optional Profitec E61 flow control device. Thanks to a stainless steel needle valve you can vary the amount of water flowing through the group. The flow control valve, with the group, mounted pressure gauge, allows pressure profiling during pre-infusion and during the espresso extraction, a feature commonly seen in significantly more expensive coffee machines.  

Pros

Built Quality: Profitec has the best reputation when it comes to building quality coffee machines, they are quite simply bulletproof. 

Features: the double boilers fitted in this machine are more than enough for home use and are matched by an equally impressive PID system which gives you a lot of room for improvement. 

Things to consider

Careful with the Chrome: being entirely covered in chrome panels, it will be very easy to notice scratches in the stainless steel. To avoid that we always recommend cleaning the coffee machine with a micro-fiber cloth.
