Profitec GO — single-boiler espresso machine with PID and shot timer

Dial the temperature to the degree, in a machine that fits under a cabinet

Temperature control at this level usually arrives inside a much larger box. The GO puts a PID and a saturated group into a compact reservoir-fed machine, which matters if your counter has a cabinet above it and you have already measured the gap.

How it works

The PID holds brew temperature at whatever you set rather than letting a thermostat swing around it, so a light roast and a dark roast can each get the temperature they want. The saturated group keeps brass in contact with boiler water so the first shot of the day behaves like the third. A shot timer runs on the display. Single boiler, so brewing and steaming happen in sequence, roughly thirty seconds apart.

Who it suits

A good fit if you drink mostly espresso, you want repeatable temperature without a dual-boiler footprint, and you would rather adjust one variable properly than have eight you never touch.

Consider another machine if milk drinks are the main event in your house — the wait between brewing and steaming will annoy you daily — or you want a plumbed connection rather than a tank to fill.
