German Dual Boiler
DF64 Gen 2
Profitec is the brand for people who believe German engineering is superior to Italian flair — and the Pro 300 makes a compelling case. Dual boilers, PID control, E61 group head, and the kind of build quality where every bolt is the right grade of stainless steel. It's a compact dual boiler, smaller than the Bianca or Synchronika, making it more practical for real UK kitchens. The steam power is excellent, the shot quality is consistent, and the machine radiates quiet competence. No flow control on this model — for that, step up to the Pro 600 or Pro 700.
Key specifications
- Dual boilers with PID

What to pair it with
DF64 Gen 2
The DF64's 64mm flat burrs and single-dose design match the Pro 300's precision engineering. Both are no-nonsense machines built for performance over flash.
Who this is for
You want dual boiler capability with German build quality at a competitive price. The Pro 300 doesn't have the feature list of a Sage or the flow control of a Bianca, but it does one thing exceptionally well: pull consistent, excellent espresso shot after shot.
