The Ride is a Profitec dual boiler: one boiler for coffee and one for steam and hot water, each with its own PID. When you only want espresso, the steam boiler switches off and the machine works as a single boiler. The shot starts and stops with a lever, and pre-infusion, active or passive, is set from the display.
Two gauges show boiler and pump pressure, and the pump pressure can be adjusted with a valve by anyone who wants to go beyond the factory setting. With fast heat-up it is ready in twelve to thirteen minutes; without, the wait stretches to half an hour.
The group is cleaned by hand, with the brush and blind basket supplied and a detergent bought separately. At 45 cm deep, and considerably more with the portafilter in place, it needs a deep counter. It is for someone who wants a dual boiler with pressure in their own hands and is not put off by a lever instead of a button.
