Best praise vs top criticism for Profitec Pro 800
Best Praise
+9 pts“I totally get your concern about the warm-up time. When I first started researching, the moment I saw “30 minutes” (and some people even saying “45 minutes for stability”), I immediately crossed the machine off my list. It was\ too much. It wasn’t until I saw a bunch of users running theirs with a smart plug that I started considering it again. And honestly? Problem solved. If the Bambino’s warm-up difficulty level was 1/10 (as in: walk up to it, push a button, wait a minute…), the Pro 800’s is now 0/10 for me. I barely even think about it anymore. I can fully control it remotely with my phone, even when I’m not home. Every morning my machine is already warmed up and waiting for me. My first cup is 6:30AM so it gets up at 5:50AM. I also scheduled it to turn off at 2 p.m. based on my usual coffee/hot water routine. If I’m expecting friends to drop by later in the day, I just use Alexa/phone to turn it on, and by the time they arrive, the machine is ready to go. (My friends usually give us a heads up before they swing by.)”
