Recommend a grinder to pair with Profitec Go please

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!

What temperature / technique do yall use to steam milk?

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?

Profitec GO macht komische Geräusche

Guten Morgen zusammen,

ich hatte vor ein paar Tagen schon mal einen Beitrag erstellt, habe aber gemerkt, dass ich mein Problem nicht richtig beschrieben habe.

Zu meiner Maschine: Profitec GO, ca. 8 Monate alt. Ich benutze seit einigen Monaten kalkarmes Wasser, daher denke ich eher nicht, dass es an Kalk liegt.

Mein Problem:
Jeden Morgen beim Einschalten fängt die Maschine während des Aufheizens an zu pfeifen (siehe Video). Sobald sie Temperatur hat (94 Grad bei mir maximal eingestellt), hört es auf – oder auch sofort, wenn ich kurz den Dampfhahn öffne und Dampf entweichen lasse.

Ich nutze die Maschine nur für Espresso.
Ich habe auch mal reingeschaut, konnte aber nichts Auffälliges (z. B. Kalk) erkennen. Am lautesten ist das Geräusch aus dem Bereich des Boilers.

Hat jemand eine Idee, woran das liegen könnte oder ob das „normal“ ist?

Danke euch!

Issue with bitterness after 3 years

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!

Pressure issue? No pressure on startup until grouphead + steam purged together

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.

UPGRADE: Profitec Bottomless portafiler OR ???

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 😄

Single tip steam wand

Bought a single tip steam wand nozzle and it doesn’t tighten all the way. Is this fine or should I find another?

Purchased on Etsy since I couldn’t find another one. Please let me know if you found a good one.

Is my pid working as intended?

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.
