Know before you buy
The dual-boiler system allows you to brew espresso and steam milk simultaneously without any temperature fluctuations. With independent PID control for each boiler, you can dial in your extraction temperature and steam pressure separately for professional-grade consistency.
The integrated flow control allows you to manually adjust the water flow rate during extraction using the lever. This gives you the ability to profile your shots, helping you highlight specific flavor notes or rescue shots that might otherwise channel.
Yes, the machine features a fast heat-up mode that significantly reduces the time required to reach operational temperature. Additionally, you can utilize the programmable on/off schedules to ensure the machine is ready exactly when you need it.
While the RIDE features a high-quality, quiet rotary pump, it is designed to operate using its 2.8-liter internal water reservoir. It does not support direct plumbing to a water line.
The articulated no-burn steam wand is designed to stay cool to the touch, making it easier to handle and clean. You should purge the wand before and after every use and wipe it down with a damp cloth to prevent milk buildup.
Yes, the Profitec RIDE uses a standard 58mm commercial-grade group head. Most industry-standard 58mm tampers, distribution tools, and baskets will be compatible with the included modular portafilter.
