Hi there. Just a tip. During a barista course i was advised not to leave a coffee loaded portafilter mounted. Because the coffee may "bake". I was advised to brew as soon as possible after mounting. If you'd like to warm up your portafilter + basket, purge some water through an empty one and use a cloth to dry it quickly.

“There’s my WDT tool. Do I use it? Rarely. “ love the honesty :))

Helpful! My Profitec Go is still backordered at WLL. Can't wait!

Thanks Li for your videos. Will buy the Proftec Go next week after I have seen your videos. Exactly what I was looking for to get a good impression of this machine. Happy new year and all the best.

frozen milk pitcher . learned something brand new. thank you.

Very useful. Thanks.

Liked your work flow

Excellent!!!

This madman put his funnel on mid grind 😮

You should never store your beans in the hopper. That’s a possibility because your espresso shot didn’t look good. Could also be that the grind size is too coarse. And you should not wait such a long time in between inserting the filterholder and starting the extraction, this can burn your coffee grind. Other than that, great video :)

I noticed water is dripping from the grouphead while you are steaming. If you turn the steam knob on more fully while steaming, you won't have the dripping. I know because I also have this machine.

Hello. Great video. I appreciate your honest reviews. I have a Rancilio Silvia with Auber PID and love it. If you don’t mind, can you share the name of the coffee beans that you are using for your lattes. Thank you.

Thanks for the video! Can you also regulate the amount of water that goes through instead of turning on/off the button and using the measuring cup? I see there was a timer. Thinking about getting this machine as my first.

Hi Li, I saw your first video on the Profitec Go. I remenber you were complaining about some loud vibrations...have you been able to solve the problem? Kind regards, Andy

For 2 lattes which one is faster the Gaggia Classic or the Profitec Go?

Please use a scale, to weight your coffee in and also the coffee out. A volumetric cup is very inaccurate. But, hey, if simple is what you want I understand that.

how do you tamp down so hard when i use fresh beans i cant push down much at all or it will over pressure and not give much espresso. when the beans are a little older i have to press down much harder

Useful review thanks. Dont think this is one i'd go for personally. The quality looks great but being a single boiler i think would annoy me eventually.

Any tips on how having a great vortex with this machine. I feel like the 2 holes of the buse are pointing in oposite direction ?

I noticed there is no (hot water) button on the Profitec Go so is there a work around for this for example if you open the water wand and push the cup button for espresso would that make the hot water come out of the steam wand? Say for a cup of tea or hot chocolate?

That pressure gauge: does it show the pump pressure or the pressure at the group head? I find this very confusing and would love to see the pressure at the grouphead. Thanks for this review!

maybe my next machine not sure. brought a brevill e touch impress a couple of months ago great machine. use it in manual mode most of the time or semi aotomatic. great machine but might make the nezt one a bit more manual or heated group wit pid. or something. good video. i have a wdt as well i use it quit a bit. but my machine has the baratza grinder which does a good grind anyway.

I have the Gaggia Classic and I was thinking to upgrade to Profitec Go. Since I saw you have both of them, do you think it worth to upgrade to Go or I should upgrade to an even better one to see a difference? Thank you.

Do you think the extra money for the profitec is worth it over the gaggia classic pro for a first time buyer?

How are you liking this machine?

nice foam. so creamy

So do you still recommend the Gaggia classic then?

Nice video.How much time does it take without making a video?

Whith one do you recomendet Profitec GO or Lelit Victoria?

I saw in a comment on another video that you do not have this machine anymore? Did you upgrade to something else?

At 09:00 you said you'd still prefer GCP over Profitec Go.... Are you saying that even with PID and easily adjustable OPV on Profitec Go it doesn't have edge over GCP in terms of extraction quality? I wanna make sure because I'm considering this Profitec Go. Otherwise I'd just go with cheaper GCP. Thanks.

I think I will just dish out a few more bucks for the 400. Don’t like the wait for steam as the shot is cooling down.

Do you regret upgrading? Do you think this would be a better choice for a beginner if you want to buy a machine you won't to upgraded from in a few years? How do you get water for Americonos from this one?

What water do you use?

Damn it takes a lot of time for steam temp to be ready comparing to Gaggia Classic. Like 3 times longer

Interesting. What kept me on the fence between this and the QM Silvano Evo was that the Profitec would steam faster, but this seemed to take just as long. Did you ever consider the Silvano? Profitec looks more modern and the all metal water path is nice.

will you be selling profitec it on ebay?

I've been trying to understand why, for the price, someone would buy the Go over the Pro 300. About a 10% difference in price but you get a dual boiler.

Way too long to wait for steam and having to purge twice in between? Insane. Spend the extra $ for the profitec pro 400.

A2 has nothing to do with lactose intolerance. It is a casein protein type and therefore has to do with protein intolerance, supposedly better digestible

Took 10 minutes for a cup of coffee, are you doing all kinds of unessasary stuff or is the machine just bad?

Any reason you are using Costco coffee beans on a 2000 $ espresso setup ???

I have a blue one for a couple of weeks now.. with a Eureka single dose .. all my pucks are wet , I did everything (I have 6 year’s experience with gaggia classics and quick mill) do anyone have the same issue with wet pucks?

Why sell this for the gaggia it just looks way better and also you should probably get beans roasted by really professional coffee shops because that’s what makes your espresso good! I used to make some with store bought an it always sucked then I started buying it from really good coffee shops and it is amazing now

Gaggia with a barometer

sorry but that whole process is a pain and a lot to clean. Not to mention the huge footprint all that stuff has. Thought i was ready to go full manual but after watching this i realize that's too much effort. back to a Jura E6 superauto

I hate to be overly critical and I know this has already been mentioned, but what a waste of such beautiful equipment. Clearly underextracted espresso using costco beans. So much focus on the milk itself, then you aerate it more than an autofrother. Don't worry about lack of art - worry about dumping a load of stiff foam on the top. More focus needed on your skill and a little less on buying expensive things.

We bought this coffee from COSTCO 😭😭😭

Way too much trouble to steam milk, need a doble boiler machine

you lost me at medium roast from Costco 🤦‍♂

Have been using the Profitec Go for about a month but after all I am really disappointed. Very noisy and rattling.all around when making an espresso. The driptray went broke because it is wacky and brittle. There is no dedicated hot water switch for Americano's. The outer build quility is rather poor. Thin body plates. The pid is not at eye-level definately not very comfortable to work with. Driptray and water reservoir are very small. Design is boxy with cut corners all over the machine. The lid of the watertank has no hinge and just sitting loosely on top of it. Very annoying. The watertank is cramped within the body so high chances the body parts will be getting deformed there. Before steaming the milk the steam wand has to be purged twice. I returned the Profitec Go under warranty because of the lack of user-friendlyness. To make it a happy end the purchase-amount was returned to me.

$3k in equipment but buys Costco beans 🤦🏻‍♂️

Beans from Costco ,come on man waist of a setup

“Bean from Costco” and I lost interest in the video right away. What a waste of a machine and what a terrible “latte” at the end.

Dude left the portafilter with dry coffee locked in there for like 5 "minutes for no reason. So idiotic that I immediately stopped watching

When "reviewing" a coffee machine it would probably be ideal to focus on the coffee rather than the milk. It's some nice expensive toys you have there, probably wouldn't hurt you to learn to use them properly.

That shot looked pretty bad tbh. Way too lych liquid. You should aim for a 1:2 ratio of bean weight to shot weight. You could get so much more out of that machine if you knew a little bit more about what makes a good espresso shot.

My espresso machine leaks so I am looking for a replacement but find it hard to decide. Some of the more expensive and better built models also require a longer process to use and in cleaning. The Sage machines are more user friendly and i have a decent voucher to reduce the cost. Instead of going for a machine costing £400 more a better grinder than my Sage smart grinder pro might make more sense. Profitec Pro 400 £1149 Sage the Dual Boiler £874.30 (30% voucher) Profitec Go £769 Gaggia Classic Pro Espresso £429 Sage the Duo Temp Pro £279.98 (30% voucher)

10 minutes for a single capuccino!!! Crazy!!!
