Machine Overview

The Lelit Anna PID and Profitec Go are both semi-automatic espresso machines designed for beginners. The Lelit Anna PID is priced at $699, while the Profitec Go comes at a higher price of $1,059. Despite their beginner skill level, the Profitec Go offers more advanced features for home baristas, making it appealing to a wider audience.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing information, both machines utilize a single boiler system and have a similar heat-up time of 5 to 15 minutes. The Lelit features a 0.25 L stainless steel brew boiler and a 57 mm group type, while the Profitec Go has a larger 0.4 L eco brass brew boiler and a 58 mm group type. Both machines use a vibration pump and have a water reservoir capacity of nearly 2.7 to 2.8 liters. The activation method differs, with the Lelit using a toggle switch, and the Profitec employing a button.

Features Comparison

When comparing features, the Lelit Anna PID includes PID control, a solenoid valve, and a steam wand but lacks hot water functionality and auto shutoff. In contrast, the Profitec Go also features PID control and a steam wand but adds an auto shutoff feature and a shot timer for more precise brewing. Additionally, the Profitec Go is equipped with a no-burn steam wand which enhances safety during operation. Both machines lack integrated grinders but remain focused on delivering quality espresso experiences.
