Profitec GO Espresso Machine

Great machine. I upgraded from a Bambino Plus to this, and the upgrade is significant. I was able to make great espresso with the Breville, but the Profitec clearly has a higher ceiling for quality in the cup. Right away, I could taste and see a difference – much closer to what I'd expect from a commercial machine in a cafe.

Coming from the instant heat up with the Bambino, I was unsure how I'd feel about having to wait a bit with the Profitec, but it's not been any problem. The fast heat up function gets there in about 7 minutes. I also use a smart plug to have the machine turn on a little before I wake up, which makes for an even better experience.

If you're thinking of upgrading some something more consumer grade, this is a great upgrade.

Very satisfied. After a lot of help from a Clive tech, great service, my Profitec GO is up and running. I use a sette grinder and consider this pairing to be the tops before diminishing returns. Drinks are tasty with budget left to try different beans. I can see trying a different grinder in the future, but definitely keeping the GO long term.

I’m a happy customer, very impressed with this machine. The PID is a game changer for me. Tony is very knowledgeable and helped me out a lot. Clive Coffee ROCKS!!!

One month in, 100% satisfied with this choice of machine and with Clive.

We've been enjoying using the machine profusely, and are glad to say it's a daily part of our mornings and afternoons (a morning coffee or latte for one of us, a stay-awake-past-8:30 afternoon espresso machine for the other). The wooden attachments were a splurge, but the entire enterprise is a 20th wedding anniversary present to the two of us. Coffee School media was very appreciated!

I did plenty of research, and the Profitec GO kept landing at the top of my list, since I rarely use a frother and I loved the idea of the pressure adjustment on the top of the machine so I could fine-tune single shots. Bonus: Clive was very well rated by buyers. After a couple weeks of use, I’m VERY satisfied with this machine, including that I got the “old model” and not the newer upgrade. (P. S. Even love the blue that matches our backsplash and wall in the old school we live in. )

We recently purchased the Profitec GO paired with the Eureka Specialita grinder, and we couldn’t be happier with the setup. This is our first espresso machine, and after getting everything dialed in, it has been incredibly easy to operate and enjoy on a daily basis.

The Profitec GO pulls outstanding shots with beautiful crema, and excellent flavor. Paired with the Specialita grinder, the whole setup feels premium. Once you understand the basics and get the grind dialed in, making great espresso becomes an enjoyable process.

For anyone considering this machine and grinder combo, we definitely feel it is worth the money. It has exceeded our expectations, and we couldn’t recommend it enough!

I’m really enjoying my morning cappuccino thanks to my powerful but compact Profitec Go. It didn’t take too long to dial things in. I look forward to tweaking things when I try different beans. Thank you for the speedy delivery.

Consistent! Love the heavy weight and sincere build quality. Too many examples to count but - simplicity and size and access of water tank and drip tray. Solid buttons. Easy cleaning which inspires frequent cleaning which inspires frequent use. Compact footprint. My shots pull predictably every time and making small tweaks is so easy when needed. Things happen logically and can be addressed logically.

As a first-time espresso machine owner, I’m extremely satisfied. It took a few days to get the hang of it, but over the past few weeks I’ve really enjoyed experimenting and dialing in the settings to match my taste. The controls are intuitive, and I’ve developed a good sense of where I can work with the machine, especially with temperature control. It strikes a great balance between ease of use and the ability to customize, and I can see myself enjoying both for years to come.

Real nice machine with more features than other makes warms up fast has a large water reservoir the pid is easy to operate and very functional the construction is high quality I bought the bottomless portafilter it gives a little more room for a scale love it ! Steve

Got it up and running, could use a better filtration method and water tank level monitor/sensor. I would likely get a double boiler as an upgrade to this but it was fun to get into a rhythm for a shot and steamed milk bevvy. Fantastic starter machine on our coffee journey.

I picked up the Profitec GO for my office and everyone loves it. It’s easy to use the espresso is excellent!

I picked this up while a minor repair was being done to my ECM. I’m impressed with this machine; good espresso every time!

I was a bit nervous jumping into a machine like this being somewhat of a beginner in the espresso world, but, this machine is insanely user friendly! Use is very straight forward, it has tweakability for when you're ready to advance, and overall the experience is pleasant! The shots are great and very consistent. If you are ok with a single boiler, this is a great machine. I find that switching between espresso to steam is usually under 2 minutes which is perfect for my workflow. I highly recommend this machine!

First time using a single boiler type machine! The heat up time is around 6-8 mintues. I would recommend that you order a bottomless portafilter. It gives you more clearance for your shot glass. Thats only downside with the Profitec GO. There isnt alot room where you set your cup. Hence why i recommend the bottomless portafilter. Overall this is a great machine for the price!

Excellent customer service. Id called to ask a question before ordering and they returned my call within an hour. The machine showed up just as advertised with detailed instructions for setup. Im very happy with Clive Coffee.

Great machine

I have one major problem with Profitec. I have to make my espresso before making my foam. If I do that the espresso only gets cold, and it takes away from the experience of drinking my morning cappuccino. I have found a way to keep the espresso warm, while making my foam. I boil water put it in a small bowl, and put my cup in the bowl, while I am brewing my espresso. After that is done, I dump the water, and add more hot water to the cup with espresso in it. It is two extra steps to enjoying my morning cappuccino. With that said, I do like my Profitec, but with my old Rancillio I could make the espresso, after steaming my milk. That was a much simpler way of doing things.

Very good machine. Definite step up from the Gaggia Baby I previously had.

Everything has been perfect! I love my machine and continue to pull great shots with it. For any of my espresso needs I will be coming back to Clive again.

Amazing. Happy as I could be with a single boiler machine.

I have been over the moon about my purchase of the Profitec Go. I look forward to using it every day and I am excited to make iced drinks throughout the upcoming summer.

Love this machine! Great for me because I never steam milk, so single boiler was a perfect choice. The coffee improvement over my old, low-end machine has been transformative. Friends comment that it looks great, too (I got the yellow).

Amazing machine for the single cup user who doesn’t need to steam and pull shots at the same time. Easy to use, lots of adjustments and accessories. I’ve had mine for a year, and I pull three or four shots daily. I love that I can adjust temps and change my pressure very easily. Low maintenance and zero problems. Of course, Clive made my purchase easy with my custom options and I will definitely be giving them my business again! If you have a simple workflow and love good quality shots, try the Go!

This is the best!

Heats quite quickly, and can steam milk about 3 minutes after pulling a shot. Loving this mighty machine.

Great machine. The only thing is that the two holes steam tip is hard to make a good silky milk foam.
