− | == Machine Description ==
| + | |dual_boiler = yes |
− | | + | |
− | A truly exceptional home use espresso machine, the Pro 700 is the realization of Profitec's dream of creating a machine that provides baristas with a singular espresso experience. A marriage of German engineering and Italian tradition, the machine impresses not only with its quality components and construction, but also with nuanced features that ensure ease of use, longevity and the brewing of excellent espresso.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | The machine is housed in beautiful mirror-finish stainless steel panels with smoothed edges. The housing rests on a one-piece internal steel frame that extends from the back of the machine through to the drip tray. As opposed to welding the tray to the front of the machine, making it part of the frame protects it from bending or bowing during shipping or as the result of continuous use. The top of the machine provides a spacious cup warming surface and can be removed for easy access the water reservoir.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | As a dual boiler machine, there is both a 0.75 liter boiler dedicated exclusively to brewing and a 2 liter boiler dedicated to steaming. Both boilers are made of stainless steel and wrapped with thermal insulation. The boilers have been bolted to the frame of the machine for structural stability but are easily removable; an element of the highly modular internal design that allows for easy servicing and repair. Brew pressure is provided by the powerful RPM motor and rotary pump which cuts down on the noise produced by the brewing process and allows you to connect the the machine directly to a water line or use the 3 liter water reservoir. The last facet of the brewing process, the E61 brew group is made of solid chrome plated brass and is constantly heated by a thermosiphon system to ensure maximum temperature stability. A benefit of having two boilers, brewing and steaming can be performed simultaneously.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | The Pro 700 has an insulated steam wand, with a four-hole steam tip. The hot water wand is similarly insulated to help prevent accidental burns. The insulation also helps to prevent milk from getting burned onto the wand, making it easier to maintain. A unique aspect of steaming and dispensing hot water with this machine are the spring loaded valves. The benefit of these valves is that they don’t need to be fully opened or closed to regulate the flow of steam/water. The way it works is that by turning the knobs, pressure is either added to or released from a spring that holds the valves shut. This prevents you from having to rotate the knobs numerous times to open or close the valves. In turn this reduces wear and tear because you no longer risk over tightening the valves to seal them. When you’re finished brewing, the manual three way valve which is controlled by the brewing lever drains any excess pressure and water directly into the 1 liter drip tray, keeping the internal components dry.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | A unique and desirable feature of the Pro 700 is its front mounted PID display that monitors both the brew and steam boiler temperatures and allows you to adjust both. This feature allows for more precise brewing conditions. An additional function boasted by the Pro 700’s PID is its built-in shot timer that switches on when you begin brewing. The timer is accurate up to the second. In addition to the PID, the front of the machine also sports dual pressure gauges that monitor both pump and boiler pressure.

− | |softener_info = Because this machine should only be descaled professionally we recommend a filtration system, such as a [https://www.wholelattelove.com/products/bwt-bestmax-premium-filter-package BWT Inline Filter], be installed on the unit to prevent scale buildup. The machine does have a basic debris filter, but this will not soften the water or prevent scale buildup in any way.

− | ===Steam Coming From Grouphead===
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Some steam from a grouphead is normal, which is why a cooling flush is suggested. The video below discusses why cooling flushes are necessary and how to do them:
| + | |
− | {{#ev:youtube|https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHSFBM3cWHI|480|center}}
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | If a cooling flush does not fully resolve the "flash boiling" or excessive steam, then the grouphead is probably getting too hot. There are two things which can cause the grouphead to be too hot. The brew temperature setting can be too high. We don't recommend going higher than 202 F° on this unit, the manufacturer recommended setting, to prevent overheating. It is also possibly the E1 setting for the PID. Sometimes the machine won't have this issue in Celsius mode, but the default E1 setting may not work properly when the machine is in Fahrenheit mode. The E1 setting is essentially the conversion factor when switching between the Celsius and Fahrenheit modes. The default factory setting is 34; the issue is simply fixed by adjusting the E1 setting down to the 25-28 range.
