Description
Profitec GO Overview
This refurbished Profitec GO, also known as the Pro 100, is a compact single boiler espresso machine equipped with PID temperature control, a visible brew pressure gauge and a 0.4 liter eco brass boiler. Its controls are easy to learn, so it makes a sensible first machine for someone starting out with specialty coffee and espresso at home.
A 1,200 watt heating element has the GO ready to brew 5 to 7 minutes after it is switched on, and it can move from brewing to steaming in about a minute. Because the PID holds the exact brew temperature you choose, a recipe that works once is simple to repeat. The machine stands 14.9 inches tall, 8.25 inches wide and 14.5 inches deep, small enough to slide under most upper cabinets. Buttons on the front handle brewing and the switch to steam, and both the PID controller and the pressure gauge sit above the drip tray, so key information is always in view.
Key Features
- PID controller for setting brew temperature, with a display that doubles as a shot timer while brewing.
- ECO mode that powers the machine down after a period of inactivity, plus a Cln mode that reminds you when the group head needs cleaning.
- Brew pressure gauge above the drip tray and an OPV under the cup tray for adjusting brew pressure by hand.
- Commercial style steam wand with a no-burn rubber grip that makes repositioning comfortable.
- Easy switch back to brewing temperature after steaming, which a cooling flush through the portafilter can speed up further.
- 0.4 liter eco brass boiler heated by a 1,200 watt element.
Who It’s For
The GO is a fit for newcomers to home espresso who want real control over temperature and pressure without a steep learning curve. It also suits small kitchens, since it fits under most cabinets, and people who make an occasional milk drink alongside their espresso.
