The Profitec Go is priced at $1,059 and is classified as a semi-automatic machine designed for beginners, whereas the La Marzocco Linea Micra retails at $3,900 and targets advanced users. Both machines are built with stainless steel, highlighting quality in construction. The significant difference in price reflects the intended audience and capabilities of each machine.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing information, the Profitec Go utilizes a single boiler system with a brew boiler capacity of 0.4L and a heat-up time ranging from 5 to 15 minutes. In contrast, the La Marzocco Linea Micra features a dual boiler setup with a smaller brew boiler capacity of 0.3L, and a longer heat-up time of 15 to 30 minutes. The activation method differs between the two, with the Go using a button activation and the Linea Micra employing a paddle control. The Go has a water reservoir capacity of 2.8L, while the Linea Micra has a smaller reservoir of 1.6L.

Features Comparison

Regarding key features, the Profitec Go includes auto shutoff, PID control, and a shot timer, but lacks features like an integrated grinder and hot water option. The La Marzocco Linea Micra, on the other hand, boasts a more extensive feature set, including concurrent brew and steam capabilities, pre-infusion, and smart connectivity. Both machines have a solenoid valve and share some key features like PID control. However, the Linea Micra's advanced capabilities cater to professional needs, while the Profitec Go remains accessible for beginners.
