The Pro 300 is a dual-boiler machine: a small brass boiler for coffee and a second one for steam, so brew temperature and steam never compete. It heats up quickly, in about six and a half minutes, and the steam boiler can be switched off, turning it into a single-boiler machine for anyone who only wants an espresso in the morning. A PID sets the brew temperature from the display; the steam temperature is fixed.
A switch starts the shot and moving it back stops it; meanwhile the display counts the seconds, and it can also remind you when the group needs cleaning, usually every 90 to 140 coffees. The group is not the café-standard E61 but a ring group.
The group is cleaned with a blind basket; scale is best prevented, because once the machine has calcified only the dealer can descale it. It is for someone who wants the stability of a dual boiler in a machine just over 25 cm wide, and the freedom to turn steam on only when needed; anyone who also wants to adjust steam power should look elsewhere.
