The Profitec Ride is the next evolution of the popular Pro 600. It features many improvements such as simultaneous boiler heating, externally-adjustable OPV, an OLED PID menu, modular portafilter, time-of-day programming. The Ride is a dual boiler, semi-automatic espresso machine with an E61 brew group. The dual boiler allows the user to pull espresso shots and steam milk at the same time. It features a PID controller, cool touch steam and water wand as well as a stainless steel boilers and externally adjustable OPV. The Profitec Ride is engineered and built in Germany; resulting in a very well built and reliable espresso machine. *** Optional flow control device. Coffee Addicts can install the flow control device from Profitec on your machine for free before it ships. Just add the flow control to your cart and put a note that you would like us to install it! *** Features: E61 Group Head: The E61 brew head design has been around for 50 years and is used in the majority of the high end home espresso machines. It is known its reliability and temperature stability due to heavy brass head combined with a thermosyphon system keeping the group head hot. Dual Stainless Steel Boiler: The Ride features dual insulated stainless steel boiler and the ability to turn off the steam boiler for energy savings. OLED PID Temperature Control: The new OLED PID (Proportional Integral Derivative) controller allows the user to precisely adjust the steam and brew boiler temperatures for improved temperature stability. It also doubles as a shot timer while brewing and allows the user to program time-of-day scheduling, automatic pre-infusion, and more through the intuitive OLED PID menu with plain-text prompts. Simultaneous Heating: The RIDE's defining feature lies in its synchronized heating system where both boilers reach optimal temperatures concurrently. This technical achievement eliminates the sequential heating delays of traditional dual boiler machines, achieving 93°C brew temperature and 125°C steam pressure in under 8 minutes. No Burn Steam and Water Wand: Both the steam and water wands are insulated so that they can be manipulated without the risk or burning your fingers. Milk also doesn't stick to insulated steam wands as much as regular ones. Pressure Gauges: The Ride pressure gauges allow you to control both the pressure of the steam boiler and the pressure during coffee extraction. They are a great feedback tool which let you better understand your machine and improve your espresso making skills. Externally adjustable OPV: Brew at the pressure you want thanks to an externally adjustable over pressure valve (OPV) hidden behind the drip tray. Water Sensor: Level control cuts the power circuit if water is low, with a microprocessor that automatically controls the level of the water tank and boiler. A low water level warning will tell you when you need to refill. Beautiful Finish: The body, water tray and feet are made of stainless steel with no sharp edges and built for a long lasting and easy to clean finish. Professional tamper: Comes standard with a stainless steel tamper instead of the cheap and flimsy plastic tamper typically included with espresso machines, Specifications: Boiler Type Dual boiler Boiler Wattage 1400W (steam), 1000W (brew), max 1700W simultaneous Boiler Material Stainless Steel Boiler Size 0.75L (Brew), 1.0L (Steam) Group Size 58mm Programmable Yes PID Yes Pre-Infusion Yes 3 Way Solenoid Yes Pump Type Vibratory Water Supply 2.8L water tank Cup Warmer Passive Included baskets Triple, Single, double, blind Included accessories Professional tamper, adaptive portafilter, cleaning brush Depth 45.0cm (17.7") Height 37.0cm (14.6") Width 30.0cm (11.8") Weight 28.0kg (61.7lbs) Power 110/120V, 1700W Made in Germany Manufacturer Warranty 2 years
