Profitec - (JUMP)

Profitec JUMP Overview

The Profitec JUMP is a leap forward in the realm of compact heat exchanger espresso machines. At just 9 inches wide it spares you from having to negotiate a space for it on your countertop. Under the hood however, the JUMP's got big game with a 1.6L stainless steel heat exchange boiler and a convenient multi-position PID switch to rapidly shift between temperatures. With the inclusion of an OLED display for simple programming and shot timing, this machine dares you to underestimate it.

Features and Performance

Thanks to its 1.6L heat exchanger boiler, the JUMP is prepared to brew and steam at a moment's notice. It features the same PID switch found on the Pro 400, meaning that you can easily choose from three different temperature presets, 248°F (120°C), 255.2°F (124°C), and 262.4°F (128°C). Additionally, you can use the switch to trigger the pre-infusion process and to toggle the ECO mode, with your selections confirmed for you on the new OLED display. ECO mode is enabled by default, but you can choose to deactivate it (and reactivate it) as you like.

In most cases we suggest keeping the PID switch in the middle position when brewing espresso and in the far position for an extra boost when steaming milk. The inclusion of spring-loaded joysticks on the JUMP allow you to either throttle steam to your desired pressure or lock-in and go full blast. The steam and hot water knobs along with the brew lever and portafilter handles are all removable by hand for a level of at-home customization not found on most espresso machines.

The JUMP inherits the Pro 400's slim build at just 9 inches wide, 17.6 inches deep, and 14.6 inches tall. The cup tray on top is easily removable to allow you to refill the 2.8-liter water reservoir located at the back of the machine, and the JUMP’s automatic shut-off feature cut power to the boiler when the water level in the reservoir is too low. The programmable ECO mode can also power down the machine to save energy after a set period of inactivity.

Why You Should Get It

If you’re looking for a compact heat exchanger espresso machine that can easily switch from brewing to steaming and back again to keep your mornings running smoothly, the Pro 400 is perfect for you. With multiple temperature presets, optional pre-infusion, and temperature stability from the E61 brew group and stainless steel boiler, the Pro 400 is a beautiful machine that’s built to brew great espresso and stand the test of time.
