The Profitec Move 2.0 has just arrived at the store, filling a very specific niche: for those who want a true dual boiler without the machine taking up half the countertop. In this article, we'll tell you what the Profitec Move 2.0 offers, how it differs from the rest of the range, and how to choose your Profitec coffee machine based on what you prepare every morning.
What is the Profitec Move 2.0
It is a compact dual boiler espresso machine: a brass coffee boiler integrated into the ring group head and a separate stainless steel steam and hot water boiler. Each works at its own temperature, so you can extract coffee and texturize milk at the same time, with no waiting between the two.
What stands out most is how much is packed into such a small space:
- OLED display and temperature control for both boilers, with an extraction timer, programmable ECO mode, and cleaning alerts.
- Fast heat-up: with its fast heat-up mode, it is ready in less than 10 minutes.
- Programmable dosing: electronic buttons to repeat the same volume for every extraction.
- Automatic group cleaning via a backflush program.
- Modular bottomless portafilter with a double-spout silicone outlet: extract with or without spouts.
- Dual pressure gauge (steam boiler and pump) and low-noise vibration pump.
- 2.8 L removable water tank with a water filter adapter.
According to the official Profitec specifications, the Move 2.0 measures 26.5 cm in width and adds adjustable pre-infusion and Bluetooth connectivity with a weight-based extraction function using a compatible scale. It is designed and manufactured in Germany.
The Profitec range currently in store
To understand where this new arrival fits in, it is helpful to review the other models. They are listed from simplest to most complete.
Profitec Go 1.0 and Go 2.0: compact single boiler
The Profitec Go 1.0 is the original Go: a single brass boiler with PID, a ring group head, 21 cm wide, and ready in 5-7 minutes. The Profitec Go 2.0 maintains the same size and adds an OLED display, active or passive pre-infusion, two programmable extraction buttons, automatic group cleaning, and a modular bottomless portafilter. Both are currently on sale.
Since it is a single boiler, the same boiler serves for both coffee and steam: you extract first and then wait for it to reach steam temperature. For someone who mostly drinks espresso or the occasional cortado, it is more than enough.
Profitec Pro 300 Dual Boiler
For years, the Profitec Pro 300 Dual Boiler was the benchmark for compact dual boilers: a 0.3 L brass coffee boiler with a ring group head, a 0.75 L stainless steel steam boiler that can be turned off, PID, fast heat-up in about 7 minutes, and 25.5 cm wide. Its approach is very similar to the Move 2.0, but with more basic controls: it lacks an OLED display, programmable dosing, and automatic cleaning.
Profitec Jump: heat exchanger
The Profitec Jump uses a heat exchanger with a 1.6 L stainless steel boiler: it extracts and steams simultaneously using a single large boiler. It features a PID with three temperature settings, pre-infusion, ECO mode, joystick valves, and American walnut finishes. It is a good option if you like powerful steam and a classic aesthetic.
Profitec Ride and Drive: large dual boiler
The Profitec Ride takes a step up: two stainless steel boilers (0.75 L for coffee and 1.0 L for steam) with independent PID, simultaneous heating, active and passive pre-infusion, and an adjustable expansion valve. Designed for those who prepare several milk-based drinks in a row.
The Profitec Drive is the most complete in the series: 0.75 L coffee boiler and 2.0 L steam boiler, silent rotary pump, optional direct water line connection, and flow control valve to adjust the flow rate during extraction. This is the machine for those who want to experiment with profiles.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Go 1.0 | Single boiler, PID | Vibration | 5-7 min | 21 cm | Espresso, tight budget |

| Drive | Large dual boiler, PID, flow control | Rotary | 12-13 min | 34 cm | Total control and water connection |
How to choose your Profitec coffee machine
If you almost always drink espresso
A single boiler is enough for you. Choose the Go 2.0 if you want pre-infusion, programmable buttons, and a display; the Go 1.0 if you are looking for the essentials at the best price.
If you prepare milk-based coffees every day
This is where the dual boiler makes the difference, because you don't wait between extraction and steaming. The Profitec Move 2.0 is the most balanced option: compact, fast to heat, and with daily-use features like programmable dosing and automatic cleaning. The Pro 300 does the same with simpler controls. If you like heat exchangers and large steam boilers, take a look at the Jump.
If you make many drinks in a row or want to experiment
The Ride gives you a larger steam boiler and more thermal inertia. The Drive adds a rotary pump, flow control, and direct water connection: it offers the most versatility if you are interested in playing with extraction profiles. Keep in mind that both take longer to heat up and occupy significantly more space.
If space is the priority
Measure your countertop, including the depth with the portafilter attached. The Go models are the narrowest; the Move 2.0 and Pro 300 are the most compact dual boilers in the range.
The grinder: half the espresso
A good machine is of little use with a weak grinder. The two Profitec Twists are suitable for any of these coffee machines, both featuring 54 mm flat steel burrs and stepless adjustment:
- Profitec Twist SD54: single dose and low retention. Ideal if you change coffee beans often.
- Profitec Twist A54: with a 250 g hopper and three modes (Select, Barista, and Single Dose). More convenient if you always drink the same coffee.

And now, the coffee
Whichever machine you choose, the result depends on the bean. Take a look at our specialty espresso coffee, roasted in Barcelona and designed to bring out the best in your new Profitec.
