Dual-boiler performance without the traditional wait. The Profitec RIDE is a premium dual-boiler espresso machine engineered for home baristas who want precise temperature control, powerful steam performance and a faster daily workflow. Unlike traditional dual-boiler machines that heat their boilers sequentially, the RIDE heats both the coffee and steam boilers simultaneously. Independent PID temperature control, programmable pre-infusion, Fast Heat-Up mode and automatic scheduling give you serious control over espresso preparation, while joystick valves and a modular 58 mm portafilter make the machine practical and enjoyable to use every day. Simultaneous Dual-Boiler Heating The RIDE simultaneously heats its 0.75 L coffee boiler and 1.0 L steam and hot-water boiler. This reduces the waiting time normally associated with sequential dual-boiler heating and helps deliver stable steam performance while preparing espresso. Independent PID Temperature Control Adjust the temperature of the coffee and steam boilers independently through the integrated PID controller. This gives you greater flexibility when dialing in different coffees or adjusting steam performance for milk-based drinks. Programmable Fast Heat-Up Mode Activate Fast Heat-Up mode when you want the machine ready sooner. The RIDE intelligently manages its heating system to shorten the time between switching the machine on and preparing your first espresso. Active & Passive Pre-Infusion The RIDE offers programmable active and passive pre-infusion, giving you another way to influence extraction before full brewing pressure is applied. Use pre-infusion to gently saturate the coffee puck and experiment with different espresso recipes, roast levels and extraction styles. Dual Boiler or Single Boiler – You Choose When maximum performance is required, operate both boilers for espresso and steam. When you are only preparing coffee, the steam boiler can be switched off so the RIDE operates as a single-boiler machine and consumes less energy. Programmable Automatic Start & Stop The integrated clock and scheduling functions allow automatic switch-on and switch-off times to be programmed, so the machine can be ready around your normal coffee routine. Programmable ECO Mode An adjustable ECO mode helps reduce unnecessary energy consumption when the machine remains unused for a selected period. Profitec Brew Group The RIDE uses Profitec's substantial brew group with a stainless-steel mushroom, providing the thermal mass and professional workflow expected from a high-end prosumer espresso machine. Adjustable Brewing Pressure An expansion valve provides individual adjustment of brewing pressure, allowing advanced users to refine the machine according to their preferred espresso recipe. Modular 58 mm Portafilter The included modular portafilter starts as a bottomless design and can be quickly converted using the supplied silicone single-spout or double-spout attachments. This clever approach gives you the extraction visibility of a bottomless portafilter with the convenience of traditional spouts when needed, while simplifying cleaning and reducing the number of separate portafilters required. Joystick Steam & Hot-Water Valves Professional joystick valves provide quick control of steam and hot water without repeatedly turning traditional rotary knobs. Dual Pressure Gauges Separate boiler and pump pressure gauges provide real-time feedback while brewing and steaming, helping you monitor machine performance during preparation. Maintenance Reminders Built In Programmable reminders for brew-group cleaning and water-filter replacement help keep routine maintenance from being forgotten. Subtle Display with Shot Timer The discreet integrated display keeps the machine's traditional appearance intact while providing access to settings, timers, maintenance reminders and extraction information.

Is the Profitec RIDE a true dual-boiler machine? Yes. It has a dedicated 0.75 L coffee boiler and a separate 1.0 L steam and hot-water boiler. 2. Can the RIDE brew espresso and steam milk at the same time? Yes. Both boilers can operate simultaneously, allowing espresso extraction and steam production at the same time. 3. What makes the RIDE different from many other dual-boiler machines? Both boilers are heated simultaneously rather than sequentially, which helps shorten warm-up time and improves steam readiness. 4. Can I turn off the steam boiler? Yes. The RIDE can operate as a single-boiler machine when steam is not required. 5. Does it have PID temperature control? Yes. Coffee and steam boiler temperatures can be adjusted independently through the PID controller. 6. Does the RIDE have pre-infusion? Yes. It supports programmable active and passive pre-infusion. 7. Does it have a Fast Heat-Up mode? Yes. Fast Heat-Up can be enabled through the machine settings to reduce the time required before brewing. 8. Can I program the machine to turn on automatically? Yes. The integrated clock allows automatic switch-on and switch-off schedules to be programmed. 9. Does it have an ECO mode? Yes. A programmable ECO mode is included for reduced energy consumption during periods of inactivity. 10. What size portafilter does the RIDE use? The RIDE uses a professional 58 mm portafilter system. 11. Is a bottomless portafilter included? Yes. The included modular portafilter is bottomless and can be converted to single- or double-spout operation using the supplied silicone attachments. 12. What type of pump does it use? The RIDE uses a vibration pump. 13. Can the brewing pressure be adjusted? Yes. An expansion valve allows the brewing pressure to be adjusted individually. 14. How large is the water tank? The removable reservoir holds 2.8 litres of water. 15. Can it be connected directly to plumbing? No direct-plumb connection is listed by Profitec for the RIDE. It is designed to operate from its integrated 2.8 L water reservoir. 16. Does it remind me when maintenance is required? Yes.
