• Where can I find authorized service for my Profitec machine?

  Profitec recommends contacting your local specialized dealer for technical questions and repairs. Listings for authorized service points can be found in the dealer search on the official Profitec weblàrach.

• How do I adjust the grind size on my Profitec Twist grinder?

  Grind size adjustments should generally be made while the motor is running. Turn the adjustment mechanism clockwise for a finer grind and counterclockwise for a coarser grind, as detailed in your specific user manual.

• What water hardness should I use with Profitec espresso machines?

  To protect against limescale damage, Profitec recommends using water with a hardness of approximately 4° dH. Using a water softener or filtration system is advised if your local water exceeds this hardness.

• Does the Profitec PRO 600 need manual boiler venting?

  No, the PRO 600 features a professional anti-vacuum valve that automatically vents the boiler during the heat-up phase. The steam is discharged directly into the drip tray via the brew group.
