Profitec Pro 800 – Lever Machine with Dipper System
Pull the lever, manually control the pressure, feel the espresso being created: The Pro 800 is a lever machine where you control the pressure profile yourself. Wooden handles made of American walnut, a pine-green manometer, and a massive brewing group give it a calm, classic appearance – from Profitec, a German manufacturer based in Bammental near Heidelberg, which manufactures by hand in Germany and Italy.
Coffee Coaching Club is a Profitec partner in Switzerland. When you purchase a Profitec machine, a barista course in our roastery in Bern or in the showroom in Zurich Oerlikon is included – in German or English. Swiss warranty and after-sales support are included.
All Features at a Glance
Lever with Pressure Profile
The massive lever brewing group weighs around 7.8 kg and maintains stable heat. Via the lever, you manually control pre-infusion and pressure profile – each shot becomes your own.
Wood and Classic
The handles of the lever, toggle valves, and portafilters are handcrafted from American walnut. The large pine-green manometer integrates into the classic design, and the PID display is subtly located behind the drip tray.
Dipper System with Copper Boiler
The dipper system operates as a single boiler with a copper boiler of approximately 3.5 liters. The vibratory pump only serves to fill the boiler when operating with the water tank; it is deactivated when connected to a fixed water supply.
Water and Key Data
Switchable from water tank (approx. 2.8 L) to fixed water connection, connection to water drainage possible. Power 1600 W, weight approximately 35.5 kg.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does a lever machine work?
You build up the brewing pressure yourself via the lever, instead of having it regulated by a pump. This gives you control over pre-infusion and pressure profile – and makes each shot a little more personal.
Can I connect it to the water line?
Yes. It is switchable from water tank to fixed water connection, and a drain can be connected. We can set this up for you upon delivery if desired.
How long does it take to heat up?
Allow around 20 minutes for the boiler and brewing group to reach a stable temperature.
Can I see it before buying?
Gladly. You can see it live in Bern and Zurich Oerlikon. Just let us know, and we'll have it ready.
Is the barista course included?
Yes, when purchasing a Profitec machine from 1500 CHF, the course in Bern or Zurich is included.
Roastery Tip
The appeal of a lever machine lies in the pressure profile: A gentle pre-infusion with low pressure evenly wets the puck, after which you slowly build up the pressure. Especially with light roasts, this creates a balanced, clear extraction. Take your time to experiment. This is our recommendation, one of many.
