So WholeLatteLove did a review and in their review they found that 10 bars was really 9 bars with whatever pressure sensor they used. So they recommend profitec go users set to 10 bars if they want 9. Love my go!
I have a GO and I ordered a norm core portafilter. It’s an e61 comparable bottomless and I seem to get leaking out of where it meets the gasket. Have you had to over tighten your portafilter at all? It feels like really have to make it super tight in order to not get leaks. In the beginning I didn’t have to do that but it’s only a few days old. Otherwise great machine.
Hi. I'm considering upgrading to a Go but I know I'll also want a bottomless portafilter. There don't seem to be too many options that claim to be compatible. Are you using the Profitec one, or something else?
Hi Brandon, thanks for the video, love the setup! I will get the blue one as well, not many people have this colour but I think it’s nicer than the black. Getting a white grinder as well, the Mignon Zero as it’s half the price of the niche (I’d prefer the niche tho).
That’s funny, cause I had the black one too, sold that and now I will order the blue. The blue has a bit of a relaxed vibe to it, especially with a white grinder (and it goes way better with my kitchen and room furniture lol)
Can you walk me through what exactly you do for that? I just got my profitec go (first ever machine) and was wondering any ways to do some sort of pre infusion. Thanks!@@brandonleewilks
I just got this exact setup - Niche Zero with Profitec Go. I know nothing about espresso. My shots are always watery, not enough comes out, the puck is always wet. Please help, what am I doing wrong? I grind 10 grams at 15 setting on the Niche, into the stock single basket portafilter, then I pull the shot for 25 seconds. What do you do? Do I need all those other accessories to tamp it better? Thanks man..
Hey! Attempt a much larger dosage, in the stock basket i'd try 18-19g in and 45g out. All niche's are different so while i'm at 13 or so setting you could be at 18 and it could be the same as mine, Grind coarser for a shorter pull and finer for a longer pull aim for around 30s is my goal.
@@Maybaby1959 Thanks, a month later, I'm pulling really good shots now. I have noticed some beans leave a little water but pull perfect shots. I am so obsessed with coffee now.
My new problem is that I can't fold the bubbles for a velvety texture because the wand isn't long enough. But I guess maybe I should try a smaller pitcher.
i got a ton of issues with this video, 1. bro doesn't wdt correctly 2. doesn't take time or cut to allow camera to autofocus even though the camera clearly struggles to properly autofocus on every shot 3. if he wdt correctly he wouldn't have to use a leveling tool 4. it doesn't look like he knows how to pour latte art; his movements are incredibly rigid and his milk is over-steamed
Profitec Go makes a hell of a noise PID is located at a very inconvenient low place You always have to bend over to view and work with the PID. Do take care not to burn your fingers Rather irritating The lid of the watertank is sitting losely on top and rattles when the vibration pump is working. It doesn't slide in neatly too Why not a hinge? Even the Bezzera Home has a hinge. The driptray itself is rather small and doesn't slip in neatly as well. Driptray becomes very hot and there is a great chance that the solder joints become loose. Even solder hot spots are visible. The sidepanels and back panel are connected to each other in a clumsey way You have to purge the steamwand twice before making a cappuccino. Making Americano's is tricky because of the short distance The Profitec Go has no smooth workaround and is sloppily put together. All in all definately not barista friendly The ECM Classica II Pid is a far better choice. Finishing quality is far more refined: detailed finished stealwork. No cut corners: wrapped panel edges angled It. certainly does have the finesse.
Are you paid by the product you’re promoting, seeing as you seem to be copy and pasting your essay on every video associated with this product? You also seem to always forget to mention the price point difference of well over £400 between the two…
@@Chewwy94 @Chewwy94 EMC and Profitec are virtually the same company. So your comment doesn't make sense. Indeed, paying somewhat more you get a superbly built machine like the ECM Classica.
Nice video! Which funnel do you use? I see that it fits well in the filter holder!
Same question, it looks like it is at 10 bar. Have you adjusted your opv? Are you happy with the Go?

Look for a thicker (if possible) gasket
Hey Brandon, I was wondering why pressure gage stuck at 10bar after shot was stopped? Shouldn't be release back pressure anyway?
Pressure is released, it's just due to the way the hydraulic circuit is designed in this particular machine.
Whats your process with steaming? I cannot get micro foam for the life of me.
Hi. I'm considering upgrading to a Go but I know I'll also want a bottomless portafilter. There don't seem to be too many options that claim to be compatible. Are you using the Profitec one, or something else?
I believe that bottomless is from ECM, sister company
Look for E61 portafilters

I actually originally went black and sent it back for blue! Love the blue

Did you use the steam knob to soften the ramp up?
Yes! It's pretty much doing manual pre infusion :)
That's genius

@@brandonleewilks Ohhh a bigger dosage worked! Also I was making single shots and I was pulling them for too long. Thanks so much!
Forget about wet pucks. It’s a myth. Wet dry pucks as long as espresso taste good. All the other stuff listen to above info
@@Maybaby1959 Thanks, a month later, I'm pulling really good shots now. I have noticed some beans leave a little water but pull perfect shots. I am so obsessed with coffee now.
@brandonleewilks my Profitec stalls out when the Niche is even at 24 grind setting. Any tips?
quick q: why 10 bars and not 9?
At the puck it'll probably be 9 bars.
10 bar at pump equals to 9 bar at the group head. This was measured by some other reviewers as well
Nice Pusee B)
Weighing out each dose for the week? This guy coffees
