Machine Overview

The Breville Barista Touch Impress is priced at $1499.95, while the Profitec Go offers a more affordable option at $1059. Both machines are classified as Semi-Automatic and cater to beginner users, making them suitable choices for those new to espresso making. Given the price difference, the Profitec Go presents a more economical entry point into the world of espresso machines.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing information, the Breville Barista Touch Impress features button activation and uses a Thermoblock heating element, with a heat-up time of under 5 minutes. On the other hand, the Profitec Go also has button activation but utilizes a single boiler made from Eco Brass, requiring 5-15 minutes to heat up. The Breville has a water reservoir capacity of 1.9 liters, while the Profitec provides a larger reservoir at 2.8 liters. Both machines fit standard portafilter sizes of 54 mm and 58 mm, respectively, and utilize a vibration pump for brewing.

Features Comparison

When it comes to key features, the Breville Barista Touch Impress includes an integrated grinder, PID control, and pre-infusion capabilities, along with auto shutoff and a boiler pressure gauge. In comparison, the Profitec Go boasts PID control with degree settings and a shot timer, while also having an auto shutoff feature and a boiler pressure gauge. Additionally, the Profitec has no-burn steam wands and an over-pressure valve, which are not present in the Breville model. Both machines lack certain advanced features like hot water options and smart connectivity.
