La Pavoni Cellini Evo PID vs Profitec Pro 400
Technical comparison · Heat exchanger
The Cellini Evo PID and the Pro 400 are two heat-exchanger machines in the same class with different plumbing: an E61 group and rotary pump on one side, a proprietary group and vibration pump on the other. The group's ecosystem matters more here than stated performance.

The differences that matter
- E61 group (Cellini Evo PID) vs proprietary group (Pro 400) → the E61 opens up standard-market portafilters and parts.
- Rotary pump (Cellini Evo PID) vs vibration (Pro 400) → the rotary runs quieter, the vibration pump is simpler to service.
- 1.7 l tank (Cellini Evo PID) vs 2.8 l (Pro 400) → the Pro 400 needs fewer refills during a long session.
- Copper boiler (Cellini Evo PID) vs stainless steel (Pro 400) → different thermal behaviour while heating.
Which one to choose
Choose Cellini Evo PID if…
The Cellini Evo PID fits the E61 group, opening up the widest range of compatible portafilters and parts, with a rotary pump quieter than a vibration one. Its 1.7 l tank stays smaller than the Pro 400's 2.8 l, so refills come more often on long sessions.
Choose Pro 400 if…
The Pro 400 offers a 2.8 l tank for extended sessions without refilling, with a vibration pump that's simpler to service than a rotary one. Its proprietary group, though, keeps you tied to Profitec's own portafilters and parts, without the E61 market's reach.
