Machine Overview

Machine 1, the Lelit Anita PID, is priced at $585 and is classified as a Semi-Automatic machine suited for beginners. Machine 2, the Profitec Go, has a higher price point of $1,059, also targeting beginner users. Both machines offer approachable skill levels, making them ideal for novice baristas looking to enter the espresso-making world.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing information, the Lelit Anita PID features a single boiler with a 0.25L capacity and utilizes a toggle switch for activation, while the Profitec Go has a slightly larger 0.4L single boiler that is activated by a button. Both machines have a comparable heat-up time ranging from 5 to 15 minutes. The Lelit machine uses a Lelit57 group type and has a portafilter size of 57mm, whereas the Profitec Go adopts a ring group type with a 58mm portafilter. Both systems have a vibration pump and rely on a reservoir water source, with minor differences in water reservoir capacities.

Features Comparison

When it comes to key features, the Lelit Anita PID includes benefits such as an integrated grinder, PID control, and a hot water function, but lacks a steam pressure gauge and auto shutoff. On the other hand, the Profitec Go offers an auto shutoff feature, a shot timer, and a no-burn wand, but does not come with an integrated grinder or a hot water option. Both machines include solenoid valves and maintain similar design elements, but differ in their specific features catered towards different user needs.
