Profitec
CA$2,349–2,610 · US$1,849
The Pro 300 is the entry point for real dual-boiler ownership — tight dimensions, quick heat-up, and Profitec build quality that will outlast any Breville at the price. Accept that the small…

The counter’s vote
Looks barely figure in either machine’s record — the counter can sit this one out.
Pro 300: Appliance-neutral industrial German aesthetic; no design polarization or kitchen-approval talk in the record.
Where they tie: shot ceiling · ready when you are · reliability record · forgiving to learn on · parts & repair — don’t let a spec sheet invent a difference.
On the counter
The size difference, to scale
So — which one?
Take the Pro 300 if —
- The difference stays in your pocket — or goes into beans
- There are sleepers to protect
Take the RIDE if —
- Milk drinks are the daily order
- You host, and drinks come in rounds
- You want a button, not a ritual
Both columns reading true? Take the Pro 300 and put the difference into fresh, roast-dated beans — they move the cup more than this choice will.

“In testing, Scace measured temps at the portafilter were consistently well within one degree Fahrenheit of the PID set temperature. That's more accurate than most machines we test.”
“"The Profitec Ride is a worthy successor to the Pro 600 – with faster heat-up time, better operation, and well-thought-out features."”
