Common questions
Is the Profitec Go worth the step up from the Gaggia Classic Pro?
Stepping up from entry to mid-range buys you PID temperature control. Worth it if you brew milk drinks daily or chase consistency; not if you mostly pull straight espresso. Tiers are price bands — confirm the live price at the retailer before deciding.
