Hausprofi Portafilter Machine 15 Bar: what works, what doesn't?
What works well
- Visible pressure gauge: shows the brewing pressure live, helps fine-tune grind and tamping pressure, otherwise found mainly in higher price classes
- PID temperature control: precise temperature control ensures more even extraction across several cups
- Steam nozzle for milk foam: produces fine-pored milk foam for cappuccino, latte and macchiato
- Tool-free cleaning: the 1.4 L water tank and drip tray can be removed without tools and cleaned quickly
Points of criticism
- No-name brand: Hausprofi is little established, so a residual risk remains with warranty, support and spare parts supply
- The gauge needs operating: the pressure is only right with the right grind and correct tamping, and beginners need some practice until the reading sits in the green zone
- No grinder: coffee has to be supplied pre-ground; for consistent results a separate grinder is needed
