ProfitecGo Espresso Machine.

The verdict in one line: Home Coffee Solutions lists an OPV-adjustable brew pressure of roughly 8.5 to 12 bar, an adjustable-PID temperature, and a two-spout 58mm portafilter, clearing our espresso guide's 9 bar floor and spouted-portafilter requirement, but the box ships with no grinder or scale.

Plain speech

Buy it, or don't.

For you if

  • You want a machine that clears our espresso guide's 9 bar pump floor without question: Home Coffee Solutions lists an OPV-adjustable brew pressure of roughly 8.5 to 12 bar.
  • You want a spouted portafilter ready to pull shots out of the box: the Go ships with a two-spout portafilter, satisfying our guide's bottomless-or-spouted requirement, plus a tamper sized to the 58mm basket.
  • You want to hold a specific brew temperature rather than live with one fixed factory setting: Amazon's listing confirms adjustable PID control, paired with the integrated shot timer our guide's timing workflow depends on.
  • You're working with a tight counter footprint: Home Coffee Solutions lists the Go at 21cm wide.

Not for you if

  • You don't already own a grinder or a scale: Home Coffee Solutions' box contents stop at baskets, a blind filter, a tamper, and a cleaning brush, no grinder or scale included, and our guide treats both as separate required gear.
  • You want to check against a single live manufacturer spec page: Profitec's own site now lists a GO 2.0 as its current single-boiler model and no longer hosts a standalone page for the original Go, so every spec on this page comes from retailer listings instead.
  • You want to be pulling shots within a minute or two of power-on: Home Coffee Solutions states a 5 to 7 minute heating phase before the Go reaches brew temperature.

Questions, answered plainly

FAQ.

Profitec Go against our numbers

The Profitec Go is a single-boiler, PID-controlled machine built around a 0.3 liter brass boiler and a 58mm ring brew group, per Espresso Coffeeshop’s listing. Home Coffee Solutions lists an expansion valve for brewing pressure adjustment with a variable range of approximately 8.5 to 12 bar, comfortably past the 9 bar floor our espresso guide’s gear list calls for. The same listing confirms a two-spout portafilter ships standard, satisfying that guide’s bottomless-or-spouted requirement, along with a tamper sized to the 58mm basket.

Two numbers are worth flagging rather than blending. Home Coffee Solutions lists the Go at 12.9kg with dimensions of 38.1 x 21 x 41cm (with filter holder), while Espresso Coffeeshop lists 13kg at 20.5 x 36.5 x 38.2cm, a gap likely explained by whether the portafilter handle is included in the depth figure. Profitec’s own site, fetched this run, no longer carries a standalone page for the original Go: its current lineup lists a GO 2.0 successor with different wattage, weight, and dimensions, so every number on this page comes from retailer listings rather than a manufacturer spec sheet.

What’s in the box, per Home Coffee Solutions, is a single-cup filter, a double-cup filter, a blind filter, a coffee tamper, and a cleaning brush. There’s no grinder and no scale, both of which our espresso guide lists as separate required gear. The Amazon listing for this ASIN matches the standalone Go Black machine, with adjustable PID and adjustable brewing pressure stated directly in the title, not a bundle with a grinder or accessories.

FAQ

Does the Profitec Go’s pump clear our espresso guide’s pressure requirement?

Yes. Home Coffee Solutions lists an OPV-adjustable brew pressure of roughly 8.5 to 12 bar, above the 9 bar minimum our espresso guide’s gear list calls for.

Does the Go ship with a spouted or bottomless portafilter?

It ships with a two-spout portafilter as standard, per Home Coffee Solutions, satisfying our guide’s requirement for a bottomless or spouted portafilter.

Can I set a specific brew temperature on the Go?

Yes. The Amazon listing for this model states adjustable PID, and Home Coffee Solutions lists a PID with an integrated timer display, so the brew temperature is a setting rather than a fixed factory value.

What comes in the box, and what do I still need to buy?

Home Coffee Solutions lists a single-cup filter, a double-cup filter, a blind filter, a coffee tamper, and a cleaning brush as included. Neither a grinder nor a scale ships with the machine, both of which our espresso guide lists as separate required gear.

Is there a current manufacturer spec page for this exact model?

No. Profitec’s own site, fetched this run, now lists a GO 2.0 as its current single-boiler model, and a direct request for the original Go’s product page returned a 404. The specs on this page come from two retailer listings instead, cross-checked against each other.
