Thanks Tom, another great review. I would have mentioned a couple more advantages on the Delonghi. 1. The brew group never needs lubricating (delonghi advertises this on their machines), whereas the Philips one does. 2. You can control the milk froth level on the Delonghi with the dial on the milk carafe, something you cannot do on the Philips. I too think the the Dleonghi is the clear winner.
I currently own a Philips 3200 latte go and have had it for about 3 years, and a few issues will be noticeable with long term ownership. 1. We were quite sold on how easy it is to clean the Latte Go container, but the drawback is it's mostly foam but if you have a non-fussy family it may not bother them as much. 2. The brew group needing a bi-monthly greasing gets tiring, but more annoying is the way it's constructed, you'll need a toothbrush and it's a pain to get coffee grounds out of all the corners. The Delonghi seems much easier to clean + no greasing. 3. Top hopper is so shallow and the grinder adjustment knob is in the way so every 2 days I have to manually scoop the beans into the intake in the corner. Aesthetically I'm a fan of the Philips and it has been rock solid, making 1-4 drinks a day without skipping a beat with regular maintenance. That said, I'm ready to swap it out for a Delonghi as the brew group is capable of making larger pucks along with a finer grind for better drinks, and appears more convenient to own daily.
Delonghi hands down: it's centred on the quality of the drink, but that seems to come second to looks and ergonomics on the Philips. But to be honest I'd go for a much cheaper Delonghi and froth the milk myself. It'll have the same brew unit and produce a similar quality of drink to the pricier one, and frothing jugs are simpler, less wasteful and easier to clean than auto-carafes.
I love the new section title animations! I'm not in the market for a super auto (just bought an Ascaso Steel duo), but I love watching your videos anyway.
Unbelievable! GREAT WORK/DEMONSTRATION! THANK U VERY MUCH. (But u know all philips owners will rave over and curse at u now 😂. A very bold, courageous and most importantly HONEST work👏)
Thank you Tom, no one does a comparison video like you! CanI ask you a question though? Between the Dinamica Plus and the Ninja Luxe Cafe, which one do you like better?
I bought the Philips 5400 2 years ago, at Black Friday in Romania. Because my wife loved an 3000 series that i had in the past. This 5400 is way better than that, but trust me, after i saw the first reviews of this Dinamica Plus at you, i regreted the purchase😂 Because i had an Dedica, i was the man of purely manual experience...and i loved intense cappucinos...and this is not that intense. 😢 but i use the "extra shot" function to get an stronger shot...or, i make a strong coffee to my cheap moka pot, in traditional italian style😂 Greetings from Romania and happy espresso drinking Tom!
Hey Tom, I am a beginner in the espresso world and about to purchase my first machine. How does a machine like this compare to something like the Ninja Lux or the Meraki Espresso Machine? Is there a significant taste difference between a automatic machine vs a „semi-automatic“ espresso machine like the Ninja? Thanks
Well, a semi-automatic gives a lot more control, and in my experience makes the better drink. The Dinamica does pretty well though, if you use the Doppio+ and stop at 2:1 ratio. But in the end, the semi-automatic will win.
Thanks for the great comparison. What are your thoughts on the Gaggia Academia and new Kitchenaid KF8? Torn between both. Do you plan on reviewing them in the future?
No need to turn the machine off you can just press stop after grinding and it will eject the grinded coffee. And i think the differ in grinding time on de De'Longhi has to to something with resistance because when you grind coarser,it grinds longer and shorter with finer grinds.
Yea, I was kind of irritated that he didn't use the automatic settings for the Delonghi. It's an unfair comparison at that point. You should do this over.
with these types of machines I am always interested in how strong their steaming is, our Jura can steam half and half but fails miserably on heavy cream which is our preferred cream for making breve
I have a Philips 5500 and I know it doesn’t hold as much grams per shot as other machines but I use the *extra shot* button and problem solved? My pucks come out perfect I not sure what’s wrong with yours in the video, how many drinks are on your machine? Is broke in properly? Philips gets a lot of hate, I think for the price it’s a good machine, it’s not a $3000 Jura or Miele and some people say it’s crap. That’s like saying your Honda civic can’t drive as nice as my S class Benz well no shi* but doesn’t mean the civic is crap it’s good for the price point
I saw a deal for £399 in the Uk for the Dinamica plus, it’s the 370.70 model not 370.95, I believe main difference is lack of app and measuring water level precisely. Is that the best super automatic I could buy for that price range?
Bought the dinamica plus 4 weeks ago. Marks electrical about £425. Dosent have the app but using the my function can customise and then save drink settings. So far ive been delighted with it, ive tried coffee works beans and also lavatza super crema. Have to say i actually prefer the lavatza beans at grind setting 3 and max dose. I take sugar so im not sure my palate is refined enough to separate speciality beans from the more mass produced, but the lavatza hit my sweet spot for about one third of the price🙂
Hi Tom, great review. In another video you said that Delonghi in the doppio+ recipe can grind up to 15g and brew a real espresso. I understand that this is not always possible and sometimes it is only 12g? How is it with the Rivelia coffee maker, there is no doppio+ recipe there, and in the last video you said that this coffee maker can also grind about 14g of coffee? Maybe you can also make a comparison to devices such as Jura and Dr. Coffee C11 where they can brew up to 16g of coffee and Miele and Nivona where you can brew 14g.
I just tested the Rivelia with the 2xEspresso recipe, and I get about 14 grams with it. With the Doppio+ it seems that sometimes it grinds for 8 seconds, 9 seconds or 10 seconds, so that's kinda weird, and it affects the amount in the puck of course. I'll have to cave and buy a Jura one of these days...
I know it doesn't really matter, but apart from the screen the Philips looks like cheap trash. there's massive gaps between the panels like a cybertruck, the metal looking stuff is dull, and the over use of the black plastic makes it seem tacky, low build quality and cheap.
The point of the video is to prove that Delonghi beats Philips. I get people asking me all the time which is better. This video is the answer to that question.

Had my Delonghi Dinamica plus for about 6 months now and love it. I was torn between that and the Phillips but glad I bought the Delonghi

Greetings from Romania and happy espresso drinking Tom!
Thanks for this review! Do you think the 5500 LatteGo would do better against the Magnifica Plus?
@@YBahbouh No. it’s only difference afaik is making cold drinks.
have you tried the chefman crema suprema machine at all or even heard about it?
Hi Tom!
Appreciate for the video)
Want to ask about cappuccino on Delonghi,does it take 8-9gr of beans?!
Thanks!

How does one clean the grinder on these machines?
Good video, I’d be interested in seeing it compared to the ninja luxe cafe.

I haven't tried either, so I'm sorry I cannot really comment on them. Maybe some day...

I’m interested in the delonghi vs the new comers, the KitchenAid Kf series and the Bosch
To be honest, I think you should let the delounghi do its thing instead of stopping It Early. Most people buying this machine wont use a scale.
Yea, I was kind of irritated that he didn't use the automatic settings for the Delonghi. It's an unfair comparison at that point. You should do this over.

That sounds like quite a good deal. I paid about €700 for my Dinamica Plus.
Is there also any sweet chocolatey tasting coffee beans you recommend, thanks?!
@@Nizam-pb5kpUp in the UK? I’d give Coffee Kev’s Chocolate Brownie a try. I haven’t tried them myself, but I bet they’re good!

Will the delonghi make lattes on par with Starbucks? Thanks.
Is this citizen tsuyosa small hand. Nice guy with nice watch
If i am not mistaken...delonghi is a shareholder in Eversys....they should be able to produce better machine for home use...
Great video, thanks!
I suppose brushing the touch panels by accident is a bit more likely when you're standing behind it and reaching over the top of it lol.
Yeah I know. But it’s happened to me a couple times otherwise, too.

using the 2x espresso recipe in Rivelia, does the same problem occur, is it always around 14g?
Thanks Tom!
Philips latte go system is unbeatable. No pipe to clean...
It is easy to clean, that's true.
Can you make iced drinks with the Delonghi ?
In Hungary 370 is more expensive than 380, and 380 is the newer model, right? Strange for sure.
I’d have to research which came first. I think they’re really similar. Drinks should be the same…
I used to have philips. They never lasted. I have never had a delonghi
I know it doesn't really matter, but apart from the screen the Philips looks like cheap trash. there's massive gaps between the panels like a cybertruck, the metal looking stuff is dull, and the over use of the black plastic makes it seem tacky, low build quality and cheap.
