Machine Overview

The Odyssey Argos and Profitec Go are two distinct espresso machines catering to different skill levels and budgets. The Odyssey Argos is priced at $850 and is designed for intermediate users, while the Profitec Go is a more beginner-friendly semi-automatic machine with a higher MSRP of $1,059. These differences highlight the varying target audiences for each machine.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing information, the Odyssey Argos utilizes a lever activation system with a single boiler made of stainless steel, offering a brew boiler capacity of 0.6 liters and a heat-up time of under 5 minutes. Conversely, the Profitec Go features button activation and an eco brass boiler with a smaller capacity of 0.4 liters, but it takes 5-15 minutes to heat up. Both machines use a 58mm portafilter and have a reservoir water source, yet differ significantly in their operational mechanisms.

Features Comparison

When it comes to key features, both machines are equipped with auto shutoff and boiler pressure gauges; however, they differ in other functionalities. The Odyssey Argos includes pre-infusion and flow control capabilities but lacks advanced features like a solenoid valve or a no-burn wand. On the other hand, the Profitec Go provides a solenoid valve, a no-burn wand, and an over-pressure valve, while forgoing flow control and pre-infusion. These disparities underscore each machine's intended use and user experience.
