Profitec Pro 500 PID – Heat Exchanger E61 Machine with Flow Control

Profitec Pro 500 PID: a heat exchanger with real steam power

The Pro 500 PID lets you extract and steam at the same time, using a heat-exchanger boiler with digital temperature control. Many parts come straight from café equipment, and the steel chassis keeps plastic to a bare minimum.

Steam and flow, both upgraded

Where many heat exchangers run at about 1 bar of steam, this version holds 1.8 bar, so silky microfoam for a flat white comes quickly. The flow-control device is a stainless needle valve fitted to the E61 group. Turning it slows or speeds the water reaching the coffee, which allows long pre-infusion and manual profiling, and a gauge on the front of the group shows the pressure changes as you go.

Is the Pro 500 right for you?

It is a sensible step up for a home kitchen, or a very small office, making a handful of milk drinks daily. If you want separate boilers and a paddle, look at the Lelit Bianca V3. Pair either with a grinder from our domestic grinder range, explore all home coffee machines, and book Profitec repairs and servicing when needed. Questions? Call 1300 529 505.
