GO

The object

Profitec's GO pairs a 0.3-liter insulated brass boiler with PID temperature control and a ring brew group. The current version adds an OLED display and timed illuminated brew buttons, while the front gauge and accessible expansion valve help users monitor and set brew pressure.

Approximate seven-minute heating and a 2.8-liter reservoir make it convenient for straight espresso and occasional milk drinks. Its 21-centimeter width is counter friendly, but the single boiler still requires a transition between brewing and steam modes.
