Profitec DRIVE Flow Control Espresso Machine - Black
Professional Dual Boiler Performance for the Serious Home Barista
The Profitec DRIVE Flow Control Espresso Machine represents the latest generation of premium German-engineered espresso machines from Profitec Heidelberg. Available from CaffeTech Canada, the DRIVE replaces the legendary Pro 700 with a completely redesigned platform that combines modern aesthetics, enhanced functionality, and exceptional brewing performance.
Since 1985, Profitec has built a worldwide reputation for producing precision espresso equipment that combines traditional craftsmanship with modern engineering. The new Profitec DRIVE Flow Control continues that tradition by offering outstanding temperature stability, exceptional build quality, and complete brewing control for coffee enthusiasts seeking café-quality espresso at home.
Built around the renowned E61 Group Head, dual insulated stainless steel boilers, and a commercial-grade rotary pump, the Profitec DRIVE allows simultaneous brewing and steaming while maintaining exceptional temperature consistency. Whether operated from its integrated 3-litre water reservoir or directly plumbed into your water supply, the DRIVE delivers professional-level performance every day.
Features
Now Standard with Manual Flow Control
One of the most exciting features of the Profitec DRIVE is the inclusion of Manual Flow Control as standard equipment.
Flow Control allows the user to manually regulate the amount of water flowing through the coffee puck during extraction. This provides tremendous flexibility when working with different coffees and roast profiles by allowing gentle pre-infusion, slower extractions, or increased flow rates during various stages of brewing.
For espresso enthusiasts looking to maximize sweetness, clarity, body, or acidity, Flow Control opens an entirely new level of extraction profiling previously found only on commercial machines.
Beautifully Redesigned Inside and Out
Compared to the previous Pro 700, the Profitec DRIVE introduces a number of thoughtful upgrades that improve both aesthetics and functionality.
New features include:
- Factory-installed Manual Flow Control
- Orange brew pressure gauge
- Matching black steam and boiler pressure gauges
- Black stainless cup guard
- Ergonomic joystick steam and hot water valves
- Illuminated green power switch
- Newly designed PID display with dedicated navigation buttons
- Integrated shot timer
- Updated electronics and user interface
The result is an espresso machine that looks every bit as refined as it performs.
Independent Dual Boiler Temperature Control
The Profitec DRIVE features independently controlled stainless steel brew and steam boilers, allowing complete temperature adjustment for both espresso extraction and milk steaming.
The upgraded PID controller provides precise digital temperature management while maintaining exceptional thermal stability.
The integrated display also functions as a shot timer, automatically beginning when the brew lever is raised, allowing consistent extraction timing without additional accessories.
Additional PID Functions
ECO Mode
Automatically powers down the machine after a programmable period of inactivity (0–600 minutes), reducing energy consumption.
CLN Mode
Provides programmable reminders for routine group head cleaning to help maintain optimum espresso quality.
FILL Mode
Displays reminders to refill the coffee boiler when required.
Commercial Rotary Pump Performance
Unlike many home espresso machines that utilize vibration pumps, the Profitec DRIVE features a quiet commercial-grade rotary pump.
Benefits include:
- Exceptionally quiet operation
- Long service life
- Stable brewing pressure
- Direct plumbing capability
- Reservoir operation using the integrated 3-litre water tank
This flexibility makes the DRIVE equally suitable for kitchens with or without direct water connections.
Legendary E61 Group Head
The Profitec DRIVE utilizes the legendary E61 Group Head, one of the most respected brewing systems in the espresso industry.
Advantages include:
- Excellent thermal stability
- Superior temperature consistency
- Gentle mechanical pre-infusion
- Outstanding reliability
- Wide availability of accessories and replacement parts
Combined with Flow Control, the E61 group provides remarkable extraction flexibility.
Premium Stainless Steel Boilers
Both brew and steam boilers are constructed from high-quality stainless steel.
Benefits include:
- Excellent corrosion resistance
- Long-term durability
- Clean water quality
- Reduced maintenance
- Outstanding thermal performance
Separate boilers allow users to brew espresso and steam milk simultaneously without compromising temperature stability.
Cool Touch Steam and Hot Water Wands
The insulated Cool Touch steam and hot water wands improve both comfort and safety during operation.
Benefits include:
- Reduced risk of burns
- Easier cleaning
- Less milk buildup
- Comfortable operation
The ergonomic joystick controls provide quick, effortless steam and hot water activation.
Intelligent Water Management
The Profitec DRIVE includes a sophisticated electronic water monitoring system that continuously monitors boiler and reservoir levels.
Features include:
- Automatic boiler level management
- Low water warning
- Automatic safety shut-off
- Microprocessor-controlled refill system
For optimum machine longevity, CaffeTech Canada recommends properly filtered water with balanced mineral content rather than distilled or reverse osmosis water without remineralization.
Large Capacity Drip Tray
A generously sized one-litre stainless steel drip tray reduces maintenance by requiring less frequent emptying while complementing the machine's premium finish.
Included Accessories
Every Profitec DRIVE Flow Control Espresso Machine includes:
- Single-spout portafilter
- Double-spout portafilter
- Single filter basket
- Double filter basket
- Blind filter basket
