Two lattes, coming right up.

Sure, the Profitec Pro 500 PID is a beaut, but wait till you see what it can do. This heat-exchanger espresso machine has a roomy 2-liter steam boiler, so it turns out silky-smooth lattes in a flash. (You bet it can pull shots and steam milk at the same time.) It’s got a built-in PID for adjusting your brewing temp, along with an E61 group head for better temperature stability. The vibratory pump is surprisingly quiet, and the 3-liter internal reservoir has a handy low-water sensor. If you love steamed milk drinks and want to pull consistent shots of espresso for friends too, well, you and this hotshot will get along swimmingly.
