Drive is Profitec's dual boiler: 0.75 litres for coffee and 2 litres for steam and hot water, both stainless steel, each with its own PID, so brew temperature is set without touching the steam side. The group is Profitec's own, with a stainless-steel shower head, and the steam boiler can be switched off entirely when espresso is all that's on the menu.
Flow to the group is governed by a dedicated valve: turn it counterclockwise to open, clockwise to close, and it can be moved while the shot is running, to stretch or shorten the extraction. The brew lever has three positions — drawing, half and starting — to begin, pause or end the shot, and pre-infusion can be set active or passive. The OLED display counts the shot time as it runs.
On a normal start the Drive takes 30 to 35 minutes to reach temperature; switching on Fast Heating brings that down to 12-13 minutes. Water comes from a 2.8-litre tank or a fixed connection, swappable without tools. The portafilter is modular, with removable silicone spouts that make it quick to clean, and an on-screen reminder prompts brew-group cleaning roughly every 90 to 140 cups, using a degreasing powder bought from a specialist retailer. With the portafilter fitted the machine reaches 59 cm deep, so it needs a counter that allows for it. This is a machine for someone happy to work the flow valve and lever by hand on every shot, not for a one-button routine.

The group diameter has no tolerance: only what is declared for 58 mm will fit.
Seven grams, twenty-five seconds, twenty-five millilitres: Italian espresso has a written specification, and this is it.
The same dose as an espresso, less water in the cup. No institutional source fixes its volume — so here you will only find what is documented.
25 ml of espresso and 100 ml of steamed milk, in a 150–160 ml cup. The cappuccino has a specification too.
An espresso and a stain of milk. How much milk, exactly? No source declares it — and we do not invent it.
An espresso lengthened with hot water. The amount of water is set by no standard: it changes from country to country and from bar to bar.
Double espresso, sugar syrup and ice in a shaker. It has no specification: it has a house recipe.
