This Whole Latte Love video compares three Profitec dual-boiler espresso machines: the Move, Ride, and Drive. The hosts discuss the machines' features, performance (including brewing and steaming tests), and programming capabilities, aiming to help viewers decide which model best suits their needs.
To answer your question, here's a breakdown of the brewing boiler differences in the Profitec Move, Ride, and Drive models based on the provided transcript:
Profitec Move: The transcript doesn't specify the material of the Move's brew boiler.
Profitec Ride: The brew boiler is made of brass and is the same as the one found in the Profitec Pro 600. It's a 0.75-liter boiler.
Profitec Drive: The brew boiler is made of stainless steel and is a 0.75-liter boiler. It shares this brew boiler design with the ECM Synchronika 2.
The transcript highlights that the Ride and Drive both use vertical stainless steel steam boilers, but it doesn't provide the exact dimensions for the Move's steam boiler. The Drive has a larger steam boiler (2 liters) compared to the Ride (1 liter).
The main difference highlighted in the transcript regarding the group head is that the Profitec Move is the only machine among the three (Move, Ride, Drive) that does not have an E61 group head. The Ride and Drive both utilize E61 group heads.
The hosts briefly discuss some trade-offs. The Move, lacking the E61, offers programmable buttons allowing for manual control and customization of pre-infusion and extraction times. However, the E61 group heads in the Ride and Drive offer advantages not explicitly detailed but implied to be related to temperature stability and potentially ease of use, which the speakers suggest might make the Ride a preferable option to the Move for some users. The exact nature of these advantages is not explicitly defined in the transcript.
