β€œVery 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.”

β€œWLL 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.”

β€œHow dare you good sir. Are you telling me that double fisting quad shot americanos and that having a dual head La Marzocco for home use to make those two Americanos in an efficient manner is a problem than I just don't know anymore.”

β€œDude the linea mini scams are EVERYWHERE on marketplace.Β  Always $2-2.5k. Always claim to be used for a barista cart or home use. Always <1yr old, first owner.Β  The profile is always private - or if not, only has friends from India despite ostensibly being a local person. Their location is always *slightly* further than you can drive right at that moment, but hey, maybe if you put a down payment on it, you can head out there this weekend! After all, think of all the money you're saving! The trip will pay for itself!Β  Don't do it. Don't put a penny down til you physically see the machine. ”
