After extraction, if you hit the portafilter with the inside of your palm, this will dislodge the puck screen from the coffee puck (using air pressure), and then it's easy to slide it out before you knock the puck out.
I just read all the comments,, the group sound very knowledgeable. I have the Mignon Specialista grinder, the Bambino plus expresso machine,, puck screens, the leveling tool, WBT tool, and tamper sell lever 25 pound. My expressos do not look as nice as the creator. Why did he not weigh the expresso afterwards? What would be the next level up from my machine, although I love the automatic milk steaming feature
I really fancy one of these machines as it seems to have all the features that the gaggia classic pro lacks, ie pid , pressure gauge etc! How have you found the machine? It looks good quality!
@@kostaskopelos5669 I am a beginner, I have the similar grinder as the channel does, but my expresso machine is a Bambino plus, should I consider getting an upgrade or my technique is the problem. thank you
nice video! Could you do a video with using the steam wand? Im curious on how long it takes since its a single boiler and if the espresso is cold by the time milk is done.
The Profitec Go makes a hell of a noise. In case of preparing a cappuccino the whole process would take 20 minutes in your case. Before steaming the milk you have to purge the steam wand twice. How laborous is it all.
That’s because pressure is measured after the pump and before the boiler. When the 3 way solenoid valve does it’s job, it cuts off brewing and spits out excessive pressure within the puck. But line pressure doesn’t go away, that sealed off by the 3 way valve. That’s why. Completely normal. Machines I haven’t had this problem, is the Sage barista express. That’s engineered to measure brew pressure instead, and when done brewing the pressure is will go to zero due to 3 way valve 😊
Just one note. As you seem to be buying a large amount of coffee and care about freshness, please freeze in portions you will use in 2-3 weeks. Right now it looks like by the time you get through half the coffee it will be extremely old. Really don't want to use coffee over a month old. Freezing in and air tight container in smaller portions and then removing them only when you are ready to use that portion will let you keep peak freshness and also buy large quanities of beans.
I was curious about the puck screen workflow. It looks like one espresso is easy, more involves recovering and cleaning the screen. Not sure if that is easier or harder than giving the group a good cleaning once a week?
Brewing using the same clear cup and stock portafilter (not the bottomless one) could you still put a scale under the cup? The hight of the space available under the group head looks very tight from the video. Thanks.
Nice video! Can you measure the distance from the bottom of the included portafilter to the drip tray? Also, what is the distance between your bottomless and the tray? Thanks!
@@paviaaPS3 Thanks! I think this machine may work very well for me. Is your grinder a specialita, with aftermarket bellows? If so, how do you like it and where did you get the bellows?
@@borgf15 no it’s eureka mignon XL with 65 mm flat burr set. The bellow I bought it from a website called Etsy.com But actually I would rather buy the original from eureka as it’s the same price. But at the time eureka did not have bellow. I like the bellow system, very low retention. Essentially no need to waste beans this way
@@paulmurphy6523 mine is a eureka mignon xl. Now they have made multiple configurations of the same grinder with those 65 mm cryogenic hardened burrs. Can’t remember what they are called, but I like the grinder, have had 0 problems with over a year of daily use
I do use a mini tripod. But for the closeup I handheld it. With the total shot, you mean like mass in grams? I think it was around 40 ml , as the cup can hold 67 ml.
@@Landon1688 There is nothing to resolve, at 135c on PID it steams 360ml jug of milk in 20 seconds with perfect latte art If you are going to steam lots of milk like 600ml or 900ml then get a dual boiler. No single boiler can handle that
In the video I’m using 100% arabica. Sometimes, I have coffees with bourbon beans, also very good But have tried robusta beans also they are more bitter but create a lot more crema 😊

‘Kæft en lækker maskine! Tillykke med den! 😍 Har selv gået og overvejet at opgradere fra min trofaste Barista Express, og denne her virker til at være en rigtig god kandidat!
Ja, den er virkelig lækker. Kan lide den da jeg ikke har brug for at steame mælk. Den espresso jeg brygger kan virkelig fin tunes, da temperatur er nem at ændre og den har timer 😊
@@paviaaPS3 Lyder godt med de ekstra funktioner! Apropos det at steame mælk, så har jeg hørt fra andre anmeldere at Profitec Go har samme steaming capabilities som Ranchilio Silvia. Kan det passe? Hva synes du selv om steaming hos Profitec Go som en tidligere ejer af Silvia? Mange tak for svar, btw! 🙏🏽
Stock Profictec/ECM shower screens are a bit too aggresive imo. Water flow is to concentrated around mid. Got the same problem with my ECM Classika PID. Changed to IMS Nanotec shower and now I got nice water distribution and no more channeling.
But the gauge showed 9 bar and its set from factory to push 9 bar at the grouphead. It isn't necessary to change the factory setting unless you want to for a lighter roast. The pressure gauge in this shot was exactly at 9 bar in the group head. Please provide a source, preferably from manufacturer, that states you need to adjust to 10 to get 9 at the head. Also, how do you know you are adjusting to 10 if there are no markings on the set screw?
@@tagheuer02 the pressure gauge shows the pressure of the boiler, not the pressure of the group head. You have to subtract 1 bar from the gauge and that's the pressure your coffee gets extracted at. So, 10 bar on the gauge is 9 bar at the group head. To adjust the pressure you insert the blind filter, start the pump and watch the gauge. Read the manual for more information. Hope that helps.

Oy. Can you please tell me what height the cup can be with the bottomless portafilter and with the original portafilter?
Original 7.5 cm
Bottomless 10.5/11 cm
How do you dispense hot water from this for Americano? There is no button?
I would have to use a blind filter and hit the brew button while opening for the tap 😊

Yes , but at a price of 2,5 times of Gaggia classic pro.

You can push in the grinder the single and double button together and the timer wil be a go&stop mode so u don’t need to put him on 50 sec timer
Nice Video,beautiful machine, appreciate the HDR.

Hvor har du købt dit ECM portafilter henne af? :-)

why after pulling a shot the pressure needle doesn't go to zero?
That’s because pressure is measured after the pump and before the boiler.
When the 3 way solenoid valve does it’s job, it cuts off brewing and spits out excessive pressure within the puck. But line pressure doesn’t go away, that sealed off by the 3 way valve. That’s why. Completely normal.
Machines I haven’t had this problem, is the Sage barista express. That’s engineered to measure brew pressure instead, and when done brewing the pressure is will go to zero due to 3 way valve 😊

Thx, have heard of the method but seems a little overkill for me, I go through 1 kg of coffee in just about 2 weeks, so this will not apply for me 😊
Pretty much every professional has said never to freeze beans. But to each their own.
@@dearcoffee85 you are literally 100% wrong.
Literally EVERY SINGLE leading coffee figure will say freezing is good.
It’s not an opinion, it’s a fact

This was almost painful to watch with all the moving around. Use a mini tripod. And a scale. You ran 35 seconds but not shot total.

Can you include the products you used in the description
I’m using a VST basket with super fast flow. Did you adjust any settings ?
What settings😊
What is the grinder set-up to ? ( 3 or bellow ? )
Im using a bellow blow system 😀
Beautiful machine!
Yeah it is 😀😊
Just got a profitec, great machine but I am feeling the steam pressure not good enough. Any thoughts?
Did you ever resolve? I know there are settings to increase the steam temp which helps
@@Landon1688 There is nothing to resolve, at 135c on PID it steams 360ml jug of milk in 20 seconds with perfect latte art

Shut up troll
You should crank the steam temp up and see how long you can hold a seal on the steam wand with your mouth at full blast for this comment :)
thoughts on a lelit victoria instead?
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 does have the finesse.
