Profitec · Reviewed by Team Brewspire · Published 2026-07-01
Based on a review by Team Brewspire (accessed 2026-07-01).
Based on this review alone: skip it — companion app is in beta with minor bugs (e.g., issues with decimal input, settings not saving instantly), unless bluetooth connectivity for smart scales is your only priority.
The reviewer found the new app connectivity and open protocol for scales to be very convenient for logging and sharing brew settings. Despite some beta app glitches with decimal inputs and observed channeling during a test shot, the overall impression was positive, particularly regarding the unchanged powerful steam boiler performance.
This review provides a first look at the Profitec MOVE 2.0 coffee grinder, showcasing its new features at the World of Coffee 2026. The reviewer demonstrates the grinder's app connectivity for setting dosage and output, discusses potential clumping issues, and highlights its open protocol for third-party scales.
The Profitec MOVE 2.0 is a promising update to an espresso machine, showcasing significant improvements in smart connectivity and control, particularly with its new app integration. The machine now features Bluetooth connectivity for smart scales, allowing users to precisely set dose and output parameters directly from a companion app, though the beta version exhibited minor input bugs when setting decimal values. Its powerful steam boiler maintains impressive performance, reaching up to 1340C and over 2 bar of pressure for excellent milk frothing. If you prioritize smart features and seamless integration with brewing parameters, this machine is a compelling option. If you are wary of beta software or prefer simpler, less tech-driven equipment, you might consider waiting for the app's full release.

The grinder uses a flapper to reduce static by temporarily holding the coffee, which can lead to clumping. The reviewer acknowledges this is a known phenomenon in the industry.

The reviewer demonstrates that the scale is connected via Bluetooth to the app, showing the connected logo.

The app allows setting the input dose by taking weight from the connected scale (18.4g demonstrated) and defining the output amount.
hands_on_demonegativet=6:30–7:10
During the demo, the app had a glitch where it wouldn't accept decimal points for the output weight, only whole numbers. This is attributed to the app being in beta.

The system uses an open Bluetooth protocol, allowing it to connect to various scales, not just high-priced ones. Acaia scales have an additional feature where they can remember settings without the app running.

The Profitec system is realized with Press-Sensor and is compatible with the Bean Conquer app, allowing users to track brewing history with existing equipment.

The app displays real-time brewing data including pressure, flow rate, cumulative flow, weight, and brew ratio on a dashboard.
hands_on_demonegativet=11:15–11:35
During the brewing process, channeling was observed, indicating a flaw in the puck preparation or grind distribution. The shot was deemed too fast.

The target output was 40.4g, and the actual output achieved was 40.5g. This shows a small deviation of 0.1g, which is very close to the target.

The steam boiler performance remains unchanged from the previous version, reaching up to 134°C and producing over 2 bar of steam pressure.
hands_on_demopositivet=14:20–16:00
The app allows users to rate their shot, add aroma descriptions, and save a full protocol including the grind setting (e.g., 1.4) for different coffees and grinders. This is particularly useful for single-dosing users who switch between coffees.
hands_on_demopositivet=16:15–17:20
The app allows users to create, save, and share complete shot protocols with others who use the same app, enabling them to import the settings.
The Profitec MOVE 2.0 is set for release in September or October, launching with two color options: black and yellow.
The Profitec MOVE 2.0 features Bluetooth connectivity to a dedicated app. This app allows users to set dosing, define output, and view real-time brewing data such as pressure, flow, and weight on a dashboard.
The Profitec MOVE 2.0's app uses an open Bluetooth protocol, allowing it to connect with many different scales, including those not in the high-price segment. Acaia scales offer an additional feature to remember settings even without the app running.
The Profitec MOVE 2.0 system, realized with Press-Sensor, is designed to be compatible with other popular apps such as Bean Conquer. This allows users to integrate their brewing history and equipment tracking with an app they might already be using.
The Profitec MOVE 2.0 retains the same strong steam boiler performance as its predecessor. It can reach temperatures of up to 134°C and generate over 2 bars of steam pressure, providing ample power for milk frothing.
The Profitec app offers comprehensive shot logging capabilities, enabling users to rate their espresso shots, add aroma descriptions, and record precise grind settings and other parameters. These detailed brew protocols can then be saved and shared with other users of the same app, facilitating recipe exchange and consistency.
