Title: Absolutely love this coffee machine!!!
Review: 6 Month Edit: Still going strong! I love this thing. I can't remember the last time I bought a latte from a store (except maybe during travel). It's definitely going to pay for itself in the next couple months. This thing sparks so much joy in my life! My only small complaint is that the milk froth option only goes up to making a 12 oz latte. The carafe holds enough to make a 16 oz, but you have to run 2 separate milk froths to get there. It's a very small thing but for the future it would be nice. Also for some reason it doesn't "remember" that I usually do 2 espresso shots, so I have to select that each time. Basically my biggest complaints are software complaints ha. The machine itself works so well. It is easy to clean, easy to maintain, and our water is fairly hard but I haven't had to change the water filter yet even though I use it everyday.Still great! I'll try to update at a year 😊Original Review:I have spent actual years of my life trying to find the cheapest way to make espresso lattes at home. I started simple with an aeropress, a moka pot, upgraded to a cheap espresso maker, bought a grinder, etc, etc. And yet I still found myself buying coffee at coffee shops. I personally didn't have the patience to find the exact right grind and the exact right tamp to get a store quality espresso.I finally caved and bought this 4300 series latte maker. This thing is going to save me so much money over the next year. I've only had it about a week but I've already used it every day and it's perfect.It's SO easy to use. Set up is a breeze. It basically works right out of the box. It comes with a water filter which was nice. Once you get the beans in there, it takes 2-5 shots to "load" the mechanisms and actually put out a shot of espresso and not just water. I did need to adjust the grind to a finer grind (setting 3) to get a good crema. If you adjust it after beans are in, make sure you do it WHILE the grinder is working (you'll have to brew a shot to do this) and be ready to work quickly. I guess if you do it while it's off and there are beans in there you can damage the grinder. I would make sure to read the instructions all the way through, and get familiar with the machine. Once you do, the whole process is a breeze.Once you have your settings dialed in, making a latte is as easy as put a cup underneath, press a button, and go. It takes approximately 1-2 min for a latte. It grinds beans fresh for every shot. If you set everything to the largest settings, you get about a 12 oz latte.Cleaning and maintinence is super easy. The machine steps you through most of it. It tells you the steps to take to install the water filter, tells you when to empty the waste grounds contatiner, gives you multiple cleaning settings. I rinse out the lattego container twice and it takes less than a minute. I feel like this machine is so well thought out and it feels pretty well put together.Overall I have very little to complain about. Once I dialed in my settings, I found the coffee I get out is as yummy as any latte from a coffee shop. My biggest complaints are:- You only get about a 12 oz coffee automatically, if you want a 16 oz or 20 oz, you'll have to do multiple milk froths and espresso runs- The machine is rather loud. It's not a deal breaker for me by any means, but in the morning it can be a little jarring and it always spooks our cats.- Adjusting the grind setting is a bit of a hastle. You have to do it while the machine is running and while it does that , the grind setter wants to move in the opposite direction of which direction you're trying to go so you have to have a pretty decent grip on it. Luckily you should only really have to do this once.- The latteGo carafe leaves about a cm of milk on the bottom even if you've put the right amount in. If you dump and clean it out every time, you'd end up wasting a decent amount of milk.-I've heard people have a hard time using the pre-ground coffee slot and I haven't tried it. But it does get pretty steamy each time it runs which I imagine would make it rather hard to clean.Some tips and tricks I've learned since using this machine:- This thing likes to rinse itself out a lot. (Which is good) but it's a little more hastle to clean out the water catcher on the bottom. I just keep an old coffee cup nearby and let it rinse into that and dump it out every time. It's a lot less cumbersome to clean out.- If you have leftover milk in the latteGo, I do 2-3 automatic rinses to get milk out of the milk tube and then put the whole container in the fridge for the next day. It cleans out the frothing mechanism enough that milk doesn't go bad in there and you don't have to waste the little bit of milk in there.- A lot of regular espresso beans might be too oily for super-automatic espresso machines. Apparently that oil will eventually gunk up the grinder, so it's recommended to buy medium roast beans. You can google some beans that are safe for the machine and find the best ones for you. I like the lavazza brand.- If you're like me and enjoy a flavored latte, invest in some syrups with the pumps. It really really completes the whole "barista at home" thing I was going for. Even better if you can get a tiered holder for all of them!- If you want to be a little extra, get yourself some disposable coffee cups with lids. They're definitely worse for the environment but if you're drinking everyday it can get a little cumbersome making sure you always have a clean travel cup. Or just invest in a bunch of dishwasher safe travel cups!This thing is pricey for sure. But I've definitely spent a long time and a lot of money before this to try to replicate what it can do and it is so worth just spending the money on it. It sparks a little bit of joy for me every time I use it and gives me the quality coffee I want everytime. It is easy to use and maintain. It also makes making multiple lattes a breeze if you are a multi-cup household. As long as it doesn't die within a year- it'll be so so worth it!

Title: Impressive and easy clean up
Review: I have another popular espresso machine. It still works great, but the grinder can be loud and the process of making any type of coffee leaves a mess to clean up after.I decided to look into a fully automatic espresso machine. After much research I decided on this Philips 4400 series machine. The features looked good and seemed to do every type of coffee me and my wife like. It also seemed to be easy to use and would not have to do much clean up after making my coffee. My only concern was if it was going to be able to make a strong enough espresso or coffee Latte.Once I received the machine I set it up by following the instructions on both paper and on the screen. It was very easy to setup. I put some of my favorite coffee beans and started making espressos as that is the basis for just about all the other drinks you make. At first the espressos came out watered down. I made some changes to the settings and adjusted the grinding from 6 to 2. That made a huge difference. By the way, when adjusting the grinder, you have to do it while you're making an espresso and only turn the nob once at a time. After getting the espresso to the right strength, I saved it to my profile. From there I tried ice coffee Latte and a hot coffee Latte. They both came out perfect and the frothy milk is fantastic. If you look at my photos. You can see how good the coffees came out with the frothy milk on top. Cleaning was a breeze too. I have the machine set to clean and warm at the beginning when I turn it on. It will drop some water when it does that, so I put a cup so that it doesn't fill the tray as quickly. When shutting off the machine, it will clean its self and will drop some water as well, so I leave a cup after as well. This really is an impressive machine with easy clean up. If you're able to get it on prime day or other time that has a discount, it becomes even more worth it.The only thing, I can think of that would make this machine even better, is if the outside was made completely of steel. I think it would give it that prime look and feel. On the other hand, the way it looks now, still looks nice and it's very light to move around.If you're considering a fully automatic espresso machine, I highly recommend this one.

Review: Nice easy to use coffee machine, makes a variety of different coffees at the touch of a button, hot and some cold ones too. Hot water too, much faster than the kettle. Milk dispenser has no tube to clean out so it's even easier to clean. This is exactly what I wanted in a coffee machine, I have no time fumbling in the morning to make coffee, just press a couple of buttons and drink! ☕

Review: I waited to use this for a bit before writing a review. Absolutely love this thing! Yes, it costs a LOT of money, compared to a French Press and drip coffee, but it's been worth it so far. Look up some groups on social media for tips, tricks, and recipes. It's been working well so far, and I've had quality caffeinated beverages with a simple press of the button. All I have to do is rinse the brew group from time to time and refill the reservoir. It has saved me so much money from ordering coffee from Starbucks. I can satisfy my craving for caffeine with a simple shot of espresso with crema.

Review: I recently purchased the Philips 4300 and was quite disappointed with my experience. Upon arrival, I noticed that the machine still had coffee beans in it, which seemed odd and concerning.I proceeded to set it up and tested it with espresso. Unfortunately, steam came out, but no espresso was produced. Additionally, I found water all over the counter and floor. After cleaning up, checking all the parts, and giving the machine a thorough clean (as it seemed very used), I turned it back on. The machine not only continued to leak but also tripped the breaker when it warmed up.I recognize this was a warehouse deal, but for a machine that is supposed to cost $1200, this kind of issue is unacceptable. I previously owned a Breville that lasted at least 10 years and consistently made amazing espresso. I expected a similar level of quality from Philips but was sadly disappointed.The return process is disappointing, taking 23 days to get a refund on a defective product that could have been caught with proper testing before being offered on Warehouse deals. While I’ve had mostly successful experiences with Warehouse deals (about 75% of orders), I’ve also encountered several duds, including a TV with a smashed screen.I do think the duds could be prevented with a simple check given the product was returned by a previous client.

Customers say

Customers like the coffee quality, ease of use, and ease of cleaning of the coffee maker. They mention it consistently delivers a good to excellent cup of coffee, is easy to set up and clean, and does a wonderful job extracting the flavor from their freshly roasted coffee. Some also like the design and variety of coffee options. However, some customers differ on the value for money and coffee.
