Hey folks, here is the long-awaited Profitec Pro 400 video. If you haven't watched the unboxing video, this is my first-ever espresso machine and I'm new to espresso-based drinks and milk drinks.
I have had Profitec Pro 400 for almost a month month and I think I dialed in roughly 10 shots so far due to work/life and baby balance. I tired to capture how I grind, dial in decaf espresso, and steam milk. I did a horrible job actually, the milk steaming is very challenging. Not because of the Profitec but it requires a lot of practice.
Hope you like it and let me know if you have any questions, down below. And if you have any tips for me to steam the milk better, please share!
Thanks for watching.
I love this! And the humor built-in! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching
Hey Buddy, looking foward for ur next video, really cool and helpful.
Hey, thanks Wong
Looks great! I’m loving my p400 too :)
Great to hear! Not much information about Pro 400 around
my profitec pro 400 drips water from basket and backflush hole, very slow drips but consistent, is this normal?
...yaaaaah baby!
Nice Sharing
Thanks
That walnut bottomless is a beauty ❤
Cheers buddy
i found your self deprecating humour quite funny. Hope you enjoyed your coffee. Nice video.
Thank you
Would you recommend this machine as a first machine. Well kinda. I bought a touch impress and absolutely hated it. Looking to change to this machine after about 3 weeks
What size basket are you using? It looks like 20-22mm? If using 19g coffee my basket is much fuller but it’s a 18-20mm.
Heya, the basket is 22 grams. From what I learn (from James Hoffman), there is no harm to fill a basket in fewer grams hence why I use 19 grams of coffee
im not an expert but ive seen people steam the milk deeper to get rid of the foam on top so it mixes better so it gets less frothy. Maybe something to try as the steam wand heated the milk very quickly in the video?
Almost two months I think I find the milk steaming still the hardest part. I want to put some air into the milk and them warm it up but sometimes 1 second matters. Oat vs cow's milk is another pain point.
hi! I'm looking for a good bottomless portafilter that is compatible with the profitec 400.. can you share the link to the one you bought? truly appreciated!
Hi, the link I purchased on Amazon is dead but you can search with 'NEOUZA 58mm Bottomless Portafilter' on Amazon

Merhaba, günlerdir aradığım video karşıma çıktı. şu anda bir makine almak üzereyim ve bunlardan biri pro400. Ben pro400 ile ECM Classika II PID arasında kaldım. ECM de PID (shot timer, su ve buhar sıcaklığı ayarı, eco modu) var ancak pro400'deki otomatik ön demleme, Heat Exchanger sistemi yok. Pro 400 de su ve buhar sıcaklığı bildiğiniz üzere 3 kademe ayarlanabiliyor sadece. Birde ECM ana marka ike profitec ECM nin yan markası. Bu malzeme kalitesi açısından etki yaratıyor mu? Makinenin sizde bıraktığı son izlenim nedir acaba? hani bazen daha çok özelliği olsun diye ana marka yerine yan markayı alırız ama o özelliklerin çoğunu kullanmayız ve ana marka ilerleyen zamanda sağlamlığını ve karizmasını korurken biz yanlış tercih yaptık diye üzülürüz. görüşlerinizi paylaşabilirseniz çok sevinirim.
Selam Volkan, videonun karsina ciktigina sevindim. Malesef bu makine ile ilgili RUclips'de pek icerik yok ben de o yuzden yuklemek istemistim. Sanirim artik 1 yila yaklastigi aldigim ve cok memnunum. Bol bol iyi ki almisim, eve yaptigim en iyi yatirim deyip duruyorum. Kullanimi cok kolay, heat exchanger harika ve hizli calisiyor ve malzeme kalitesi oldukca iyi. Dedigin gibi ECM ve Profitec kardes markalar ve ikisini de gormus biri olarak malzeme kalitesi 100% ayni. Ben bugun bu butceyle alacak olsam yine Pro 400 alirdim ama ikiside gayet iyi, hangisini alirsan al pisman etmez.
Cevap için çok teşekkür ederim. bizim ülkede kur tabii alıp başını gitmiş durumda ve bu ürünü satan tek bir yer var. 1400 Euro'dan Black Friday kampanyası ile 1120 euroya iniyor. Orada fiyatlar nasıl şu anda acaba?@@My-Decaf-Journey
@@volkantuna1308 £1199 ikisi ayni fiyat. €1120 daha avantajliymis
bugün Eureka Specialita + Profitec Pro400 siparişimi verdim. Kullanım sonrasında da karşılıklı haberleşebiliriz.@@My-Decaf-Journey
Hi, i bough a Profitec 400 and is it normal to not go over 1.2 bar on the steam gauge? I have my temp to the middle. I webt up to 1.5 before and now it dosent. Is it normal?
The 1.2 bar are normal for the for the middle position (0). It only rises up to 1.5 during heat up (when cold) for about 15 minutes or so.
Nice! How is the temperature stability on this machine? How are the shots tasting? I'm considering this to replace my GCP. Thanks!
Hi Pianoman, I'm not sure about the temp stability if I'm honest as I don't have the brew group gauge. But from the taste point of view, I'm pretty happy with it. Stopped going to coffeeshops :)
I've had mine for about 18 months and always been very happy with the consistency of coffee but then I just want a coffee and I don't want to fiddle endlessly with lots of settings. This Christmas Santa dropped off a Geisinger thermometer for the group head (and a milk one) which has proved illuminating. While the group is at the temperature you want after start up and a bit of a wait you find that as the water comes through the temp rises. After you've pulled that shot you'll find if you pull another it's likely to be spot on and consistent. It behaves exactly like a E61 does. It's instructive to watch Hoffman who reckons he needs a 1 degree C to notice a difference, for those of us without his level of taste I doubt even 2 would taste too different. If it had been around and I'd had the space I'd have bought the ECM Mechanika Max which can be no flush or if it needs one tells you. Watching a Whole Latte Love video which explained the Max they showed the temperature profile of ups and downs and recovery times and the 400 is just the same just you have to know your machine rather than have it tell you. On the Max if you want steam you press a button, on the 400 move the switch the other way.
Great machine!! Do you think it is worth it? I have a silvia v6 but thinking to upgrade to this machine..what is youre thought?
Yes, definitely. This machine is great value for money. I now have it over two months and I do 2-3 shots/day. It is fast and simple.
Great share! I am a beginner as well. It's fun seeing small improvements. You're doing wonderfully. And, you're the barista of your own coffee. I think you need to raise the pitcher sooner and that will lessen the bubbles and create that desired vortex. btw, what scale are you using?
Hi there, the scale I use is from Amazon but doesn't fit perfectly to the drip table www.amazon.co.uk/Precision-Waterproof-Electronic-Weighing-Batteries/dp/B09B53XQNQ/ref=sr_1_4?crid=2ARENCGL6WINB&keywords=coffee+scale&qid=1700574446&sprefix=cofee+sccale%2Caps%2C76&sr=8-4. Something smaller would be better
Nice set up, look forward to watching when you know how to use it
Thanks Philip, hope that will be soon! Can't wait to pull better shots
Have you considered adding flow control?
I think these machines in the US comes with flow control already but not in the UK and honestly I'm glad it didn't. Since I'm very new to espresso and espresso machines, the flow control would make it even more complicated. Having said that, it's my goal to get the flow control & brew group gauge at the end of the year. Did you try the flow control? Do you like it?
@@My-Decaf-Journey When you will feel like a pro you will not feel like sharing the basics. And basics are really important:)
Where’s the wooden bottomless portafilter from?
It's from Amazon you can search for 'NEOUZA 58mm Bottomless Portafilter'
@@My-Decaf-Journey thanks!
I’m looking to get the same combo 400/Niche. How do you like Niche?
I love Niche. Easy to work, easy to clean and has a small foot print
Thank you. Enjoy!
Oat milk varies by brand for steaming the best I have tried is Willa but it's hard to get in the UK and expensive, but not far behind are Califa Farm and Minor Figures oat milks, then I would rank Oatly at 4 and Moma oat in 5th place, I start by having the wand quite deep into the milk which is the opposite to hoe you start with cows milk, once the oak milk starts to feel around blood temp on the pitcher I start to slowly draw the pitcher down until you are incorporating some air into the milk this is where you would start with cows milk, once you have added sufficient air and got a bit of a rolling movement with the milk you cab then start to stretch the milk by slowly raising the pitched again and keep slight adjusting the angle and hight of the pitcher until your required temperature is achieved you should ghen have nicely textured oak mild for milk drinks for a cappuccino just add plenty more air before you start the texturing phase. I hope that helps, but there is nothing like trial and error, and you'll soon find what works best for you.
Cheers for the detailed info and instructions. Oat milks are very expensive at the moment. I try to buy it as much as possible but these days I'm steering towards cows milk, honestly and so easy to work with. I think I never came across Willa yet (at least in Sainsbury's) but I'll look for it next time
Try using barista oat milk and the foam should be better
You need to turn on pre infusion!
It is on (arrived on by default).
@@My-Decaf-Journey no apparently it is not on, u need to set it on.
Can I ask about the pre-infusion on the pro 400? I was reading in the manual that you have to set it up out of the box, which I just found out...lol Do you only set it up once? As it says to deactivate it, just turn machine off. Well mine goes off every day, so do I need to reset it everyday?
too much large bubbles on your milk lol.... learn how to get micro bubbles by angeling the wand and go deep after getting some air infusion
That's the goal isn't it
