Profitec Pro 700 Flowprofil – Dual Boiler with Flow Control
Control the water flow yourself, not just grind size and dose: the Pro 700 Flowprofil gives you an additional adjustment at the brew group through a flow profile valve. Underneath sits a dual boiler with E61 brew group and quiet rotary pump – from Profitec, a German manufacturer based in Bammental near Heidelberg, hand-built in Germany and Italy.
Coffee Coaching Club is a partner of Profitec in Switzerland. With every new coffee machine from CHF 1'500, a private barista introduction course of around 60 minutes is included – in Bern, Zurich or online, for up to two people from the same household or company attending together. The course must take place within one month of delivery; after that, the entitlement expires. Get in touch with us for the course and we'll find a date together. Financing is available.
All Features at a Glance
Flow Control via Flow Profile Valve
With the flow profile valve, you adjust how quickly the water in the brew group reaches the coffee grounds – and you can change this flow throughout the entire shot, not just at the start. A gentle flow at the beginning lowers the risk of uneven extraction (channeling).
Dual Boiler with Two PIDs
Coffee boiler and steam/hot water boiler are separate and independently adjustable, with a second-by-second display of the shot time. The steam boiler can be switched on and off with its own switch.
Rotary Pump and Direct Water Connection
The quiet rotary pump keeps the pressure steady. Switchable from the water tank (2.8 L) to a direct water connection. No-burn steam and hot water wands, drip tray insert to shorten the distance to the brew group.
Boilers and Key Specs
Coffee boiler 0.75 L, steam boiler 2 L, both stainless steel and insulated, heating elements with 1200 watts (coffee) and 1400 watts (steam), boiler and pump pressure gauges, large drip tray (approx. 1 L). Weight around 31 kg.

Who It's For
For everyone who wants to experiment with water flow beyond grind size and dose. If you want to shape the shot deliberately and reduce channeling, you'll find an extra layer of control here.
What Goes With It
For everyone who wants a coffee grinder that's affordable and precise: the Varia VS3 from our Varia Collection or a hand grinder from the Comandante Collection. Want more: the Varia VS6 or the EG-1 from the Weber Workshops Collection.
A scale from the Normcore Collection fits well too, or, if you want an app and flow-rate display, one from the Acaia Collection – plus fresh beans like Cozy Chocolate or Nutty Delight. More from the lineup is in the Profitec collection.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Flow Control do?
How quickly the water reaches the coffee grounds is up to you. A gentle start makes extraction more even and helps especially with light roasts to bring out the aroma cleanly.
Can I connect it to the water line?
Yes. It's switchable from the water tank to a direct water connection. We set up the connection on request during delivery.
How long does heating up take?
Plan for around 20 minutes so the E61 brew group is stable at temperature.
Can I see the Profitec Pro 700 Flowprofil live before buying?
That depends on whether the Profitec Pro 700 Flowprofil is on display right now. Our showrooms in Bern (Gerberngasse 44) and Zurich Oerlikon (Hagenholzstrasse 50b) show a wide selection, but not our entire range – it is too large for that, and the display changes. Drop us a quick line at [email protected] before your visit, and we will check whether the Profitec Pro 700 Flowprofil is currently there.
Roastery Tip
Start the shot with a low flow to gently wet the puck, then open up slowly. Especially with light, acidity-forward roasts, this creates a balanced, clear espresso. Take your time exploring different curves. That's our recommendation, one of many.
