Profitec Pro 800 – Lever Machine with Dipper System
Pull the lever, guide the pressure with your hand, feel the espresso take shape: the Pro 800 is a lever machine where you shape the pressure profile yourself. Wooden handles in American walnut, a pine-green manometer, and a massive brew group give it a calm, classic presence – from Profitec, a German manufacturer based in Bammental near Heidelberg, handcrafted in Germany and Italy.
Coffee Coaching Club is a partner of Profitec in Switzerland. A barista course at our roastery in Bern or at the Zürich Oerlikon showroom can be booked in addition – in German or English. Swiss warranty and support after purchase included.

Lever with Pressure Profile
The massive lever brew group weighs around 7.8 kg and holds heat stably. Through the lever you control pre-infusion and pressure profile by hand – every shot becomes your own.
Wood and Classic Style
The handles of the lever, tilt valves, and portafilters are handcrafted from American walnut. The large pine-green manometer fits into the classic design, and the PID display sits discreetly behind the drip tray.

The dipper system works as a single boiler with a copper boiler of around 3.5 liters. The vibration pump, in tank operation, only fills the boiler; in direct water connection it is deactivated.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does a lever machine work?
The brewing pressure is something you build yourself via the lever, rather than having it regulated by a pump. This gives you control over pre-infusion and the pressure profile – and makes every shot a little more personal.
Can I connect it to the water line?
Yes. It's switchable from water tank to direct water connection, and a drain can be connected. We set this up on request at delivery.
How long does heating up take?
Plan for around 20 minutes so that the boiler and brew group are stably up to temperature.
Can I see it before buying?
Gladly. It's on display live in Bern and Zürich Oerlikon – just let us know, and we'll have it ready for you.
Is the barista course included?
A private barista course can be booked additionally.
Roastery Tip
The appeal of a lever machine lies in the pressure profile: a gentle pre-infusion with light pressure moistens the puck evenly, and from there you build up slowly. Especially with light roasts, this creates a balanced, clear shot. Take your time to find your way. This is our recommendation, one of many.
