Based on a review by ECM Espresso Machines (accessed 2026-06-29).
Based on this review alone: buy it if you care about time dose settings with pre-infusion — just accept single-circuit machine requires taking out hot water to create space for steam and cooling down for brewing.
Julian, the presenter from ECM and Profitec, expresses great pride in the new Profitec Go, stating, "I hope you like that machine because I am really proud of what we did here." He generally highlights all three new models – the Profitec Go, Profitec Move, and ECM Mechanika Max 2 – as significant advancements with smart features, enhanced user experience, and improved performance.
This video from ECM Espresso Machines provides a detailed look at the new product releases from ECM and Profitec at the World of Coffee 2026. The presenter, Julian, showcases the Profitec Go, Profitec Move, and ECM Mechanika Max 2 espresso machines, detailing their features and improvements.
The Profitec New GO is a strong recommendation for those entering the world of portafilter machines, offering advanced features at a competitive price point. Its new time dose settings with pre-infusion and an intuitive OLED display significantly enhance usability and navigation. While a single-circuit machine requiring a flush for steaming, it rapidly auto-fills and cools down to brewing temperature afterward, along with an automated cleaning mode for convenience. If you need an accessible yet feature-rich espresso machine for daily use under 1000 euros, this model is an excellent value; however, if you demand instant steaming and brewing without any temperature management, a dual boiler might be more suitable.
