EspressoBot Comparison

Machine Overview

Both machines are semi-automatic espresso makers suited for beginners, but they differ significantly in price. The Lelit Anna is priced at $569, whereas the Profitec Go is considerably higher at $1059. This indicates that the Profitec Go may offer additional features or capabilities, appealing to those willing to invest more in their espresso making experience. Both brands have established a reputation for producing quality machines aimed at new espresso enthusiasts.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing information, the Lelit Anna uses a toggle switch for activation, a single stainless steel boiler with a capacity of 0.25 liters, and features a Lelit57 group type made from brass. Its heat-up time is between 5 to 15 minutes, similar to the Profitec Go, which activates with a button and has a slightly larger single boiler capacity of 0.4 liters made from eco brass. The group type for the Profitec Go is chrome plated brass and also utilizes a vibration pump. Both machines offer a water reservoir sourced from a capacity of 2.7 liters for the Lelit Anna and 2.8 liters for the Profitec Go.

Features Comparison

When it comes to features, the Lelit Anna lacks an auto shutoff feature, but it includes a boiler pressure gauge and solenoid valve. In contrast, the Profitec Go has an auto shutoff, PID control with degree control, and a shot timer. The Profitec Go also differentiates itself with a no-burn steam wand, which is absent on the Lelit Anna. Overall, while both machines have similar core functionalities, the Profitec Go presents advanced features that justify its higher price point.
