German dual boiler with flow control. The Bianca's biggest rival.
The Pro 600 is the machine that Bianca owners nervously pretend doesn't exist. Dual boilers, E61 group head, PID control, and an optional flow control device that lets you manipulate extraction pressure in real time. The build quality is impeccable — Profitec's manufacturing tolerances are tighter than most competitors. The 0.75L stainless steel brew boiler and 0.5L steam boiler heat up faster than the Bianca, and the overall footprint is slightly more compact. What you lose vs the Bianca: the rotary pump (Pro 600 uses a vibration pump) and the walnut wood aesthetic.
A precision-engineered German machine deserves a precision-engineered Swedish grinder. The Lagom P64's 64mm flat burrs and ultra-low retention are a perfect match for flow profiling.
You want Bianca-level capability with German precision instead of Italian flair. The Pro 600 with flow control is a serious pressure profiling machine that rewards experimentation. If you don't need the rotary pump or the visual drama of the Bianca, the Pro 600 saves you £400.
