Love your videos. I just recently got a Go. My steam wand is a cool touch wand. I seem to recall reading somewhere that Profitec made this change within the last year

Got mine Aug 23 in the uk. Water started dripping through group head whilst pulling a shot. Turned out the seal somehow got slightly unseated and didn't lie flat against the porta filter and creased a bit. Re-seated it and works OK, but ordered a new silicone one. Love the machine though.

I'm so close to buying a Profitec Go. Thanks for sharing your experience. I've been consuming so much espresso content on youtube and found your video extremely helpful. Mind sharing which portafilter you bought? Need to add to my wishlist!

I bought the ECM Bottomless from whole latte love .. and it’s matched with a dual shot 20g. Ridge less VST basket

A bit confusing seeing 9 bars of pressure on a standing idle machine though...smth I'd definitely investigate...if I owned one, of course
@Nolanreid6 ай бұрын
With heat , in a sealed tank there will be pressure . The gauge works off the boiler not the pump

The Profitec Go is rattling all around when making an espresso. Driptray is wacky. Lid of the water reservoir is wacky. No dedicated hot water switch. The Go is full of quirks and downsides.

Good job on the review, do you use the machine daily? Also I thought I heard someone say the newer machines have cool touch wand now, not sure if that's true.

Yes I use mine everyday . I am not sure about the cool touch wands on the new machines . I would upgrade. If it was available

Mines got a plastic tube inside the wand, which kinda insulates it from the outside. Not sure if that makes it a cool touch, but i can touch it without getting burned. Got mine Aug 2023 in U.K.

One way to get around the 1-minute delay is to steam the milk first and then the espresso. The milk is fine to sit for 1 minute, whereas the espresso may cool down too much. Good review, I'm looking to get one of these soon.

Thank you

Wouldn’t the milk just heat the espresso back up? I don’t see the point since there is more milk than espresso, however unless you mean the espresso’s flavor somehow gets affected then I’m not sure but maybe

Hello from athens greece in how mutch time do you descale the machine and with what product

I don’t descale the boiler as I use distilled water and third wave water .. but I use standard espresso cleaning powder for the group head and discharge solenoid

why the plastic water reservoir.. this is what i dont understand.. first reason why i want to pay 1k$ more for this is to have no plastic touching the water
@Nolanreid25 күн бұрын
Most newer machines do , unless you go with plumbed waterline and just use braided hose

Can you get water out of it by lowering the steam temperature?
I have the same portafilter as you and when I put it in like you did in the video it spills out water because its not tight enough, why is there such a difference?

Works well for my daily cappuccino. If the problem is steaming the milk, there are tutorials for that. Americanos might be problematic as there is no dedicated hot water, you have to use the steam wand. I microwave water in the mug I am going to use, faster and heats the mug!

It's very good for milk drinks, you just have to wait a minute or two to reach steam temperature and then you can make 3 milk drinks with it. I would rather wait 2 minutes than pay an extra $2000 for a dual boiler machine.
