The Drive replaces the long-running Pro 700 as Profitec's E61 flagship, and it earns the slot. A redesigned OLED display unifies all temperature, timer, and pre-infusion controls in one place, and the factory flow control device is now standard rather than an upsell. Build quality is exactly what you expect from German Profitec - tight seams, clean plumbing, and a rotary pump that whispers. For anyone who wants a true set-and-forget E61 that can also profile, this is the one.
What we liked and didn't
Pros
- Integrated flow control standard from the factory
- Rotary pump and switchable plumb or reservoir
- Refined OLED interface with clear menu structure
Cons
- Large footprint - measure your counter first
- Price reflects the full prosumer experience
