[@Wholelattelovepage]

Hi, all! The glitch for the grinder part of the giveaway submission form has been corrected. As this is a new thing for us, we really appreciate your understanding as we get things better figured out. Going forward, we will be giving away almost every product that we do review videos for, so stay tuned! --BRYAN

i’m entering both the make and model of the grinder into the contest site and neither are working.

[@locustsun]

I used all three words, and it isn’t working, I’m guessing the answer may be typo’d.

[@kylein209]

There’s a link in the description of this video that works fine for me.

@@kylein209 it’s not the link, it’s one of the obvious answers to the questions for a chance of entry

@@locustsun Using obvious words it says "this code has already been used" while random words say invalid code. Maybe they set those to one time use?

I hope it's not rusting, like in old models, where the water tank goes in

[@orgrinberg]

Hey just got my Profitec go, and no matter what i do i get wet pucks that are hard to clean, the taste is great but it's annoying. Any tips?

[@eugeneeeeeee]

You could try to use a puck screen. They're super cheap and make cleaning a lot easier.

[@DuBstep115]

Do you know if the pumps are different in EU models? 4:23 it ramps to 9 bar in 4-5 seconds. My Go takes around 7 seconds even with blind filter

[@Wholelattelovepage]

Hey Dub, Thanks for the question. Not sure how the different power in EU might change timing.

[@pumbsteri]

Same for me can take 9-10 seconds sometimes and I'm in EU.

[@Thresher]

Just a heads up to other rookies: The double basket is listed as 14g. I wasn't aware of this and was putting 18g in the basket. I kept getting different outputs and could not get any consistency. Additionally, the puck occasionally stuck to the group head. After finding out the actual size, I started doing 14g shots and they came out nearly perfect every time. I'm still experimenting, still trying to nail down my workflow, but having the correct amount in the basket was a big improvement.

[@Wholelattelovepage]

Thanks for sharing!

[@goldfish8196]

This youtube channel is a gem. Just received my coffee from you guys. Fast shipping. Really enjoying WLL

[@iggyman83]

External OPV was always on the Casa. Still great value for most people compared to the Go.

[@erwinjosue5437]

Almost perfect espresso machine for newbie’s. Only missing for me is the 110-220v option…😊.

[@lordsam808]

Gutted the promo's not available im the uk 😭 Great vid! Now stuck deciding whether this would be a worthy upgrade from my current gaggia classic or go the whole hog with a double boiler machine 🤔

Is the stainless steel Profitec go the same as the other ones

[@CharlesSpragins]

One day I'll get a grinder and one of those

Are you going to be selling the stainless version on your Canadian site as well?

[@Wholelattelovepage]

Hi d, Yes we will be offering the stainless version on the Canadian site soon!

[@rafaelrocha8046]

How descaling this machine ?

[@Wholelattelovepage]

Hey rafael, Here's what the manual says on descaling: You should use water with a max. hardness of 4° dH in order to protect your machine from lime scale damage. When necessary, make use of a water softener / water filter cartridge to reach an adequate degree of hardness. If these measures are insufficient, a prophylactic descaling of the machine may be necessary. Contact your specialized dealer before undertaking this measure. An already calcified machine may only be descaled by your specialized dealer because a partial disassembly of the boiler and the tubing may be necessary to prevent the system from being blocked by lime residues. A late descaling can cause substantial damage to the machine

[@rupps5]

Better single boiler than the ECM Classica?

[@NancySpencer-fp9mk]

The ECM Classica is high end in every respect. No comparison with the Profitec Go.

[@JoshingX]

When are they releasing the Pro 400 Jump?

[@Wholelattelovepage]

No date yet

[@i7an]

Where did you get these wooden accents? The machine looks very nice with them. Is it easy to replace the knob?

[@erwinjosue5437]

Unfortunately, the giveaway is not available in my region. Anyway better luck next time.😅😊😊

Wish this stainless steel option was available in Europa

[@nrafaco]

Looks like a great machine, but the legato does the sale at less than half the price. If this machine was 800 I would buy it over the legato. But at 1100 no way

[@Seleguadir]

The question with the Legato is it's longevity and how it's internals will hold it. It's really Apples to Oranges with the build quality difference.

[@damnfinecoffee224]

@@timhanley4396 100%

[@Seleguadir]

It's 100% still a good machine, but you start to realize the limitations of them(similar to the GCP) without PID. The thermal stability of the Go is incredible too. The no burn steam wand on a ball joint honestly is incredible

[@timhanley4396]

@@Seleguadir one last question the Silvia is around 200 cheaper on sale and I like the way it looks better than the GO would it be a good buy

[@gigi9467]

How is this thing $1,100!!!! Lol makes nooooo sense for a small one boiler

[@Seleguadir]

It's feature rich, and all the internals are brass/copper. It is an extremely well built machine. Pre modded Rancilio with just a pid go for about 900$ so this with more features really isn't too much more.

[@Seleguadir]

Correction - Through SCG a new Rancilio with a PiD is 1249.

[@gigi9467]

@@Seleguadir bro, just buy gaggia classic even though that was a little overpriced now this profit tech is not gonna make better. Coffee cost about half the price and I love Protech. I own their machines. The price is ridiculous on this.

Is this a German made expresso machine as well? I was interested in the ECM.. Also. I dont see the brushed steel model on your site. :)

Yup! ECM and Profitec are sister companies

[@daveevans7151]

Profitec Go is part of ECM but handmade in Italy. I think the 600 is the other Italian made machine in their line.

[@daveevans7151]

@@Seleguadir yep…but from their (Profitec) site “Which is why we manufacture the GO and the PRO 300 in Milan (Italy) and all the other espresso machines and our range of grinders are manufactured in our headquarter not far from Heidelberg.” It was the 300 not 600 I was thinking about. If this matters to anyone.

[@medroastt9888]

a tight headroom under the group is still a dealbreaker for me... otherwise good machine especially in this grey color

[@Seleguadir]

Most single boilers have this issue with a scale. Bottomless PF easily solves the issue

[@medroastt9888]

@@Seleguadir I know that. But bottomless PF is a learning tool for better puck preparation, not to solve a design flaw of an espresso machine

[@michaelschenker8326]

I've had the machine for two years and am very happy. Only issue is that when replacing the shower screen with the IMS Nano-Coated, the screen doesn't seem to snugly fit in the steel recess of the removable stainless steel screen holder, and my shots are wildly inconsistent, sometimes with water seeping out of the sides. However, when reinstalling the Profitec shower screen the issue is resolved. Are you guys aware of this and is there a solution? I'd prefer to use use the IMS because I think the water disbursement is better, but the fit doesn't seem to be ideal.

[@unprofessionaltrader6743]

Wouldn't using a puck screen solve this issue for you?

[@michaelschenker8326]

I’ve tried that. Hasn’t helped because the shower screen ill-fitting issue means that the portafilter seal is compromised

[@unprofessionaltrader6743]

@@michaelschenker8326 Hey, sorry i meant wouldn't using a puck screen give you the same benefit as changing the shower head screen would have given you?

[@blackimp4987]

sorry but thou you are an artist of cappuccino decoration what came out seems rather hot milk with a little air pumped in rathter than the expected foam.

[@Seleguadir]

The steam temp can be brought up to 283, not sure why he had it so low lol

[@Wholelattelovepage]

@blackimp4987 - Hi there. Yeah, I definitely made more of a "third-wave" cappuccino than a traditional cappuccino there. Either can be easily accomplished on this machine simply by changing your steaming technique. --BRYAN

[@Wholelattelovepage]

@Seleguadir - Good catch! I typically prefer slightly lower steam pressures for milk texturing, just a personal preference thing. I like having a little more time to work my milks. --BRYAN

[@Seleguadir]

@Wholelattelovepage for sure! I have been setting mine to 283 so the bounce back after the purge is a bit faster. Typically been starting steam about 275 and have been liking that
