EspressoBot Comparison

Machine Overview

The Breville Bambino Plus is priced at $499.95, making it a more budget-friendly option compared to the Profitec Go, which retails for $1,059. Both machines are classified as semi-automatic and are suitable for beginners looking to start their espresso journey. The Bambino Plus offers a great entry-level experience without overwhelming features, while the Profitec Go provides a slightly more advanced setup for those wanting better performance and quality.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing information, the Breville Bambino Plus activates through a button and features a thermoblock heating element, with a quick heat-up time of less than 5 minutes. It has a water reservoir capacity of 1.9 liters and utilizes a 54 mm portafilter. On the other hand, the Profitec Go also uses a button activation but has a single boiler made of eco brass that can hold 0.4 liters. It heats up in a range of 5 to 15 minutes and accommodates a standard 58 mm portafilter, with a water reservoir capacity of 2.8 liters.

Features Comparison

When comparing features, the Breville Bambino Plus includes auto shutoff, PID control, and pre-infusion, but lacks pressure gauges and a shot timer. Meanwhile, the Profitec Go also has auto shutoff and PID control, along with a boiler pressure gauge and shot timer, adding to its versatility. The Profitec model also offers a no-burn steam wand and an over-pressure valve, enhancing its usability for milk-based drinks. In contrast, the Bambino Plus features a simple and effective steam wand without the no-burn option.
