r/ProfitecGo

I'm 99% set on getting the Profitec Go Espresso machine.

I plan on using the machine 3-4x a week se for making two espressos(or americanos) for my girlfriend and I. Sometimes frothing milk for my girlfriend. We prefer lighter roasts of coffee.

Please recommend some grinders, no budget, but preferably the cheapest one that would effectively get the job done on a consistent basis and last a long time. A big reason I chose Profitec is that it is projected to last many years? Right? Thank you!

Whats best according to your experience?

Haven’t been able to get it perfectly correct. Doesn’t sit on top of crema during last slow pour.

Very possible it’s user error. Any advice?

Hey community,
I'm kind of clueless so reaching out to you. My setup:
Profitec Go 100
Eureka Mignon Specialita
Profitec original portafilter
ECM original bottomless portafilter
running this since 3 years and enjoying it, until before few weeks.
Coffee was just bitter. Normally I use only Kimbo Crema Intensa for years because I like the flavor. I tried also other coffee brands which tasted good but decided to stick with Kimbo.
I regularly clean machine and grinder. I tried 4 different beans Kimbo, Lavazza, Borbone etc. and cleaned grinder with each one but it still tastes bitter.
I played with pressure, time, 16-20g and also yield but nothing helped.
Also consulted AI which had some great suggestions bit still nothing

As said, I have this setup for 3 years and always did play with amount of coffee and yield, pressure etc. but never had that much of bitterness.
Hoping someone has some suggestions here. Thanks!

Hi y'all,

Trying to figure out the issue with my ~1.5y/o Profitec Go.

It recently stopped building any pressure on startup – the pressure gauge sits at 0. After trying lots of things, as well as thinking I was crazy and maybe it always did this, I've gotten it to build pressure after about a 10s purge pushing the brew button + opening the steam wand at the same time. It builds to 9bar, I pull a shot, it works great.

After the first shot, if I purge the group head or steam wand, pressure dies to 0 again, and I then have to purge again the exact same way (brew button + steam fully open 10s) for pressure to build for the second shot.

Anyone experience this? Super frustrating.

Morning fellow Profitec'ers

Thinking of upgrading from the standard Profitec Go portafilter to their Profitec Bottomless Portafilter as it also comes with a 21g bottomless basket.

Is this good quality, worth the £54 (GBP) price or is there better quality options for the same appx. pricing?

Thoughts of owners of this or recommendations for other options in appx price point?

Thanks all 😄

When I turn my machine on, my pid registers at 45⁰F. My apt is kept at 70⁰F. There's no way the water in the machine is that cold.
