“Not a huge fan of the Dual Boiler if I'm being completely honest. Don't enjoy the user experience, and a few friends of mine have had nothing but issues and inconsistency with theirs which turned me off a bit.”

Best praise vs top criticism for Profitec Go

Best Praise

+83 pts

“Very cool and I think there's a lot of demand for a machine like this (small dual boiler). Just not for me. I only make 1-4 espressos per day, rarely two at once, and almost never use the frother. The Profitec Go remains my attainable dream machine.”

Top Criticism

+11 pts

“WLL ghosted me when my Profitec Go came with a leak. I ended up having to just figure out how to fix it myself. They have an online form for reporting a problem and theoretically getting an RMA going. But they just never responded. Months later I got a notice that my case was closed. No explanation. Their defenders here will just say to call them. Their system is built to waste your time.”
