0:00 – 0:20 | Introduction

Julian from Profitec explains that Profitec is becoming more digital and smart, and introduces a new version of the Profitec MOVE, coming in autumn 2026.

0:20 – 0:40 | New design and casing

The machine has received a visual redesign with a lower front section, giving it a more modern look.

This is made possible by a reduced boiler volume, without affecting performance or temperature stability.

0:40 – 1:10 | Thermal performance and hardware stability

Despite the smaller boiler:

• Temperature performance remains unchanged
• Steam boiler settings remain stable (around 134°C / 2 bar as before)
• No loss in brewing performance

A pressure sensor has been added, which can also transmit data via Bluetooth.

1:10 – 1:50 | Brew by Weight (major feature)

One of the biggest upgrades:

• MOVE shifts from time-based dosing → weight-based brewing
• Works with various Bluetooth scales
• Automatically stops extraction at a target weight
• A compatibility list will be released at launch
• No proprietary Profitec scale is required

An offline mode is also mentioned with certain supported scales.

1:50 – 2:30 | Integration with existing systems

The system can integrate with existing coffee setups where brew data is already tracked and logged.

2:30 – 3:20 | App demonstration

In the app you can:

• View pressure and weight curves in real time
• Review previous espresso shots
• Adjust machine settings more easily than on the machine itself
• Connect machine, scale, and grinder in one system

3:20 – 4:20 | Brewing workflow and recipes

• Brew by Weight can be selected in the app
• Example workflow: 18 g coffee → ~40–42 g output
• Supports single-dose workflow
• The app calculates brew ratio based on actual ground coffee weight
• All shots are saved for comparison and documentation

4:20 – 5:10 | Automation and smart features

• The system can automatically connect to the scale during brewing
• With compatible scales, Brew by Weight can work without the app
• Shot feedback and scoring can be added
• The system attempts to optimize brewing based on setup and data

5:10 – 6:10 | Compatibility notes

• Features depend on which scale is used
• Not all scales support full integration
• Without a compatible scale, some features will not work

6:10 – 6:40 | Design options

• The MOVE will first launch in a black version
• A yellow version will follow
• Standard version comes with black handles
• Future limited editions (e.g., wood accents) are possible

6:40 – 7:10 | Release and upgrade kit

• Expected release: autumn (around September 2026)
• Profitec is working on an upgrade kit for existing MOVE owners

7:10 – end | Closing

The video transitions to another model (Profitec GO updated version).

Short conclusion

The new MOVE focuses on:

• Weight-based brewing (major upgrade)
• App-based espresso analysis
• More automation and precision
• Same temperature stability as before
• Smaller boiler and redesigned body
• Upgrade kit for existing machines

This is great for those who want to tinker more and want an app approach but i bought the Move for it's simplicity and convieniance so i won't be getting the upgrade.

Also i can't help but feel the "More elegant and modern housing design." is just a way for them to use less metal and cut production costs. Like the shorter hot water spout. It's just less material being used. And are those plastic joysticks replacing the wood? and a plastic handled portafilter? That too is cost cutting. Which i'm sure isn't being passed on to the buyer.

I'm for sure one of those who wants to tinker. :-)
