Profitec RIDE Espresso Machine with Flow Control

Took a BIG leap from breville barista express to this + eureka mignon Libra grinder. Can say the most difficult part was setting up and going through the purging water- and that’s nothing. Be smart and get the right tools, and be ready to burn through some coffee beans if you’re learning or adjusting. Still haven’t mastered latte art- but still enjoying practicing. Beautiful machine. It’s a statement peace in our bar area. The vibration pump isn’t even loud- so don’t let that sway you if you’re between machines. I can’t wait to have this for years. Also all the courses and included things from Clive were handy.

We never opened it. I gave this 4 stars because I had to pick a number to leave the review, and I did not want to downgrade it. My only point in writing anything, is to point out that this machine weighs ~60lbs, and my wife and I were not interested in having to move something that heavy to clean the counter under it, OR to put water in. I didn’t notice that detail until it was delivered, so bringing it to everyone’s attention.

Upgraded from a Breville Barista Express after a year of use. I wanted to up my game on control, and I wanted to make multiple milk drinks quickly. The machine has been perfect. It took me a while to figure it out, but thanks to the Team at Clive and how helpful they are, I never pulled a bad shot. They just keep getting better!
