Profitec DRIVE Flow Control Espresso Machine | ACE Coffee Roasters

ACE Coffee Roasters is proud to offer the Profitec DRIVE Flow Control Espresso Machine, the flagship dual boiler espresso machine from Profitec Heidelberg. Engineered and handcrafted in Germany, the DRIVE represents the next generation of premium home espresso machines, combining exceptional build quality, commercial-grade components, modern technology, and complete control over every stage of espresso extraction.

Replacing the legendary Pro 700, the Profitec DRIVE introduces a host of significant upgrades while preserving the reliability and craftsmanship that have made Profitec one of the world's most respected espresso machine manufacturers.

Whether you're a passionate home barista, espresso enthusiast, or coffee professional seeking uncompromising performance, the Profitec DRIVE delivers café-quality espresso and exceptional milk steaming in one beautifully engineered package.

Designed for Precision. Built for Life.

The Profitec DRIVE is designed around a commercial-grade dual boiler system, allowing you to brew espresso and steam milk simultaneously without sacrificing temperature stability.

At its heart are two insulated stainless steel boilers, a commercial E61 brew group, a whisper-quiet rotary pump, and a factory-installed Flow Control Device that gives you complete manual control over water flow during extraction.

Whether you're pulling classic Italian espresso or experimenting with modern light-roast profiles, the DRIVE provides the tools to unlock every coffee's full potential.

Features

The DRIVE builds upon the success of the Pro 700 with numerous thoughtful upgrades, including:

• Factory-installed Manual Flow Control
• New PID controller with dedicated function buttons
• Built-in shot timer
• Quick-action joystick steam and hot water valves
• Matching black pressure gauges
• Black cup rail
• Illuminated power switch
• Refined modern aesthetics
• Enhanced user interface
• Improved workflow and ergonomics

These improvements create one of the most refined dual boiler espresso machines available today.

Manual Flow Control

The redesigned PID controller offers independent control of both boilers while maintaining the DRIVE's clean, premium appearance.

The display also functions as an integrated shot timer, automatically beginning timing the moment extraction starts.

The PID includes three intelligent operating modes:

ECO Mode

Automatically powers the machine down after a user-defined period of inactivity (0–600 minutes), reducing energy consumption.

CLN Mode

Tracks brewing cycles and reminds you when routine group cleaning should be performed, helping maintain optimal espresso quality.

FILL Mode

Provides a convenient reminder when the coffee boiler requires refilling or maintenance attention.

Independent boiler temperature adjustment allows precise optimization for different coffee origins and roast profiles.

Separate stainless steel boilers independently manage brewing and steaming temperatures.

Advantages include:

• Outstanding temperature stability
• Simultaneous brewing and steaming
• Fast recovery
• Consistent espresso quality
• Powerful commercial-grade steam production

Whether preparing a single espresso or multiple milk drinks, the DRIVE maintains exceptional consistency.

Legendary E61 Brew Group

The commercial E61 group remains one of the most respected brew groups ever developed.

Its thermosyphon circulation system provides:

• Stable brewing temperatures
• Excellent thermal mass
• Outstanding extraction consistency
• Long-term durability
• Easy servicing

Combined with Flow Control, it becomes an exceptionally capable brewing platform.

Quiet Rotary Pump

Unlike vibration pump machines, the Profitec DRIVE uses a commercial-grade rotary pump for smooth, quiet operation.

The machine may be operated either:

• Using the integrated 3-litre water reservoir, or
• Directly plumbed into your water supply for uninterrupted operation.

This flexibility makes the DRIVE equally at home in kitchens, coffee bars, and dedicated espresso stations.

Premium Stainless Steel Boilers

Both boilers are manufactured entirely from stainless steel, providing:

• Excellent durability
• Corrosion resistance
• Reduced oxidation
• Long service life

This premium construction reflects Profitec's commitment to long-term reliability.

Commercial-style insulated steam and hot water wands remain cool during operation, providing:

• Improved safety

• Reduced milk residue buildup

Combined with the quick-action joystick valves, steaming becomes effortless and highly responsive.

Features include:

• Automatic boiler level management
• Low water warning
• Boiler protection
• Automatic refill control
• Safe operation

For optimal performance and longevity, ACE Coffee Roasters recommends using properly mineralized water together with a premium water filtration system.

Spacious Drip Tray

A generously sized 1-litre stainless steel drip tray minimizes emptying frequency while maintaining a clean workspace.
