Machine Overview

The Gaggia Classic Pro Evo is priced at $449 and is targeted at beginner users, making it accessible for those new to espresso-making. In contrast, the Profitec Go is more premium, retailing at $1059, but still caters to beginner skill levels, aiming to deliver quality performance for an aspiring home barista. Both machines are categorized as semi-automatic, appealing to users finding their feet in espresso preparation. The choice will largely depend on budget considerations.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing information, the Gaggia Classic Pro Evo activates through a rocker switch and features a single boiler made from coated aluminum with a brew boiler capacity of 0.1 liters. It has a heat-up time ranging between 5 to 15 minutes. The Profitec Go activates via a button and offers a slightly larger brew boiler capacity of 0.4 liters, also with a heat-up time of 5 to 15 minutes. Both machines utilize a chrome-plated brass brew group and feature a vibration pump for consistent brewing.

Features Comparison

When it comes to features, the Gaggia Classic Pro Evo does not include an auto shutoff or boiler pressure gauge, but it does provide hot water functionality. On the other hand, the Profitec Go comes with an auto shutoff, boiler pressure gauge, and PID control that provides precise temperature adjustments alongside a shot timer. Additionally, the Profitec Go features a no-burn steam wand and an over-pressure valve, enhancing its usability for beginners focusing on espresso quality.
