The Profitec GO espresso machine is a single boiler machine with high-quality features that set this machine apart as the best-in-class for its price.

The controls are also very easy to navigate, making this a great machine if you’re just starting your journey into the world of specialty coffee and at-home espresso brewing.
Features and Performance
You can keep your morning going with the .4-liter eco brass boiler on the Profitec Go. It’s ready to brew just 5-7 minutes after being switched on, so it’s ready to go when you are. The 1,200 watt heating element will also let you switch from brew to steam in one minute, and with PID temperature control, you can make sure that you’re brewing at the exact temperature you want. This allows for easy repeatability once you find your perfect brew settings so you can get the best espresso possible every day.
The thoughtful design of the GO allows it to fit into most any kitchen and add a sleek, stylish touch to your coffee setup. At just 14.9 inches tall, 8.25 inches wide, and 14.5 inches deep, you’ll be able to fit this machine easily under most upper cabinets. For an elevated look, we also offer wood accents for the portafilter handle and steam knob that you can match to your cabinetry or use to add another layer of texture and warmth to your kitchen or coffee nook.
The easy to navigate buttons on the face of the machine make it simple to brew or switch to steam power for milk drinks. You can also easily change the brewing temperature with the PID controller located above the drip tray. You can also use the PID controls to toggle the ECO mode, which will automatically turn off the machine after a certain amount of time that it’s not in use, as well as the Cln mode, which will automatically remind you when it’s time to clean your machine’s grouphead. The PID display also doubles as a shot timer during brewing.
You can also easily view what pressure you’re brewing with using the pressure gauge above the drip tray. Profitec has made it easy to manually adjust the brew pressure if you prefer a different setting – just locate the OPV under the cup tray and adjust it to your preferred brew pressure.
With the commercial style steam wand on the Profitec GO, steaming milk for your favorite milk drinks is a breeze. The no-burn rubber grip makes it easy to reposition the wand to make steaming easier and more comfortable no matter where your GO is placed. After steaming, you can easily switch back to brewing temperature, and you can even speed up the process with a cooling flush through your portafilter.
The Profitec Go's Fast Heat Up is a unique heating cycle that overheats the boiler so that it reaches brew temperatures even faster. After a cooling flush, the super-hot water brings the group head and portafilter to temperature which helps to achieve optimal temperature stability.
