All features at a glance
OLED display & PID control
The OLED display lets you set the coffee and steam temperature precisely, while the integrated shot timer shows the extraction time to the second.
Pressure gauge & expansion valve
A pressure gauge makes pump pressure visible, and the expansion valve lets you adjust brew pressure to your own taste.
Switchable pre-infusion
Pre-infusion can be activated when needed, for a more even extraction.
Hot water function
Hot water is also available via the steam wand, for example for an Americano.
Automatic cleaning & descaling
An automatic group-head cleaning cycle and a guided descaling programme make everyday care easier.
ECO mode & programmable times
ECO mode switches off the heating after an adjustable time, and you can programme on and off times. If the water tank runs empty, the machine switches off automatically.
Who it's for
The GO 2.0 is a great fit if you're looking for a compact single-boiler machine with modern controls and you appreciate a splash of colour. As a single-boiler machine, it draws coffee and steam one after the other – well suited to one or two cups at a time.
What goes well with it
A consistent coffee grinder such as one from the Eureka range, a tamper and fresh beans like Cozy Chocolate or Nutty Delight. Find more in the Profitec collection.
Frequently asked questions
What does 'single boiler' mean?
A single boiler supplies both brewing and steam. You draw them one after another: first the espresso, then the milk foam. This works well day-to-day for one or two cups.
How quickly is the GO 2.0 ready to use?
In Fast-Heat-Up mode, the GO 2.0 is ready to use after around 7 minutes. The PID control then keeps the temperature constant.
Which colour should I choose?
That's a matter of taste – all five variants are technically identical. Black and Satin look understated, while Yellow, Red and Light Blue add a colourful accent.
Is the barista course included with purchase?
A private barista course can be booked separately.
What's included in the delivery?
Included in the delivery are single and double portafilter baskets (7 g, 14 g, 21 g), a blind filter basket, a tamper, a cleaning brush, a water filter cartridge, test strips and the instruction manual.
Roastery tip
Using the switchable pre-infusion and the expansion valve, you can fine-tune your extraction: a little more pre-infusion time for lighter, denser roasts, a slightly lower brew pressure for darker roasts with more body. Work your way there in small steps. This is our recommendation, one of many.
