The Pro 400 is a heat-exchanger machine and a sister to the Jump: a single stainless-steel boiler makes the steam and heats the brew water as it passes through, so milk can be steamed while the coffee runs. The group is Profitec's own design, worked with a lever. A switch under the machine picks one of three brew temperatures and turns pre-infusion and the energy-saving mode on or off.
Unlike the Jump it has no display, and it uses rotary valves for steam and hot water instead of levers; the box includes three pairs of coloured discs for the knobs, to change the look of the machine. Two gauges show boiler and pump pressure, and the pump pressure can be adjusted with a screwdriver. The portafilter has silicone spouts that come off and clean in a moment.
It needs switching on about twenty-five minutes before the first coffee, and wants a counter almost 45 cm deep. Scale is best prevented: once a machine has calcified, only the dealer can descale it, since the boiler and pipes may need partly taking apart. It is for someone who wants Profitec's heat exchanger in its more mechanical form, knobs and gauges with no screen; anyone who wants the shot timer on the machine should look at the Jump.

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.
