Mastering the Grind: A Coffee Enthusiast’s Upgrade Journey

Listen up: Upgrading from the Breville Barista Express to the Profitec Go wasn’t just a swap—it was a leap into the unknown.

I work in a shop that sells and repairs machines from Profitec, ECM, Bezzera, Rocket, Quickmill, La Marzocco, and Lelit. We also carry grinders from Eureka, Mazzer, Fiorenzato, and Mahlkoenig. Whether you’re browsing in person or online, the goal is to help you find gear that works—and lasts. The biggest divide between brands lies in build quality and precision.
