#ProfitecGo #EspressoMachine #HomeBarista
The Profitec Go espresso machine is a small yet powerful home espresso maker, designed for those who want premium features in a compact build. Equipped with a PID display, it allows precise temperature control to achieve consistent espresso shots. The 400ml brass boiler ensures excellent heat retention, while the all-metal water path eliminates plastic components, enhancing both durability and water quality.

A key feature is the 58mm portafilter, the same size used in high-end espresso machines, offering compatibility with a wide range of accessories. The oversized water tank means fewer refills, though the lid is slightly flimsy—a minor inconvenience, but worth noting.

The fast heat-up time means you can go from power-on to brewing espresso and steaming milk quickly. Unlike some machines that require disassembly for pressure adjustments, the Profitec Go offers tool-free pressure control—simply use a flathead screwdriver or butter knife for easy tuning.

For its price, the Profitec Go competes with more expensive machines while delivering professional-level espresso performance. While it isn’t cheap, it’s positioned as an affordable premium option, offering high-quality features without the extreme cost of top-tier machines.

Safety Tips:
☕ Always use filtered water to maintain espresso quality and machine longevity.
🔧 Allow the machine to cool before making pressure adjustments.
🧼 Regularly clean the steam wand and portafilter to prevent buildup.

Unboxing & First Setup
Unboxing the Profitec Go, you’ll find:
✅ User manual & product catalog
✅ Portafilter with pre-installed filter basket
✅ Two additional filter baskets (single & double shot)
✅ Tamper, cleaning brush, and drip tray

The machine comes well-packaged, with protective wrapping over the steam knob and key components. The water reservoir is fully removable, making refilling quick and easy. On the top panel, a plus/minus valve allows for manual pressure adjustment.

Before first use, fill the water tank with fresh, filtered water, power on the machine, and allow it to preheat for 10 seconds. This ensures all internal components reach optimal brewing temperature.

Brewing Your First Espresso
For a double shot, measure 12 grams of coffee beans (or 8 grams for a single shot).
1️⃣ Grind the beans to a fine consistency suitable for espresso.
2️⃣ Transfer the grounds to the portafilter and distribute evenly.
3️⃣ Tamp firmly to create an even surface.
4️⃣ Insert the portafilter, place your cup, and press the brew button.

The shot timer will begin, typically running for 33 seconds for a double shot. Watch the pressure gauge to ensure a balanced extraction.

Steaming Milk Like a Pro
For a double shot latte, use 300ml of cold milk.
1️⃣ Position the steam wand just below the milk surface.
2️⃣ Open the valve fully and steam until you achieve a silky microfoam.
3️⃣ Tap the milk pitcher on the counter to remove bubbles.

Always purge the steam wand and wipe it clean immediately to prevent milk residue buildup.

Factory Reset Instructions
If you need to reset your Profitec Go:
🔹 Hold the positive button & power on the machine until you see PR5 on the display.
🔹 Turn the machine off, then back on—it should enter fill mode.
🔹 Run water through the system for 30 seconds, just like during the first setup.
🔹 Turn it off—you’re ready to go!
