My right ear enjoyed this.
left ear for me
LOL
Sorry about that - I have the RODE wireless mic and must have had some settings wrong. Maybe if I do a follow up I'll do a better job of testing the stereo first. Thanks for the feedback!
@@razodactyl Thank you - Glad you found it helpful.
I thought my AirPods went out. 😂
i think you deserve more subs , straight to the point and very clean review. Thank you.
Sold! I've been perusing other Espresso machines websites, videos etc and yours in my opinion is the best hands down. It's one thing to see it from the manufacturers viewpoint, which of course will be positive as they want to sell it. But coming from a consumer's point of view with no incentive/sponsorship etc means much more to me. I was pretty much leaning towards this one but your video has confirmed that decision for me. Thank you for taking the time to film this video. And you're right, there aren't many videos on this machine out there from a consumers viewpoint. Thanks again 😊
Glad you found it helpful - Come back and let us know what you think of it!
Did you get one and do you still like it
I've watched a dozen reviews on this machine, and this might be the best of them all. I think it's the only one where anyone makes normal coffee. Finally!
I agree. He should have explained or shown how to turn the temp up for the coffee. I find that the biggest minus of it all. The machine is awesome
Just got this for Christmas, great review. Going to enjoy my cup . Thanks for the advice 😊
I appreciate your time and effort to produce this
What a fantastic well explained video,have been thinking for long time to buy one of these and now you made up my mind going to order one right away,Thanks again enjoyed watching,Oh en first class camera.
I have owned this machine
for 3 months and I love it. If I have one suggestion it would be to explain the three buttons to the right of your coffee choices, to explain the bypass for ground coffee and to teach how to froth the milk without choosing a coffee choice by hitting the ground coffee choice without the coffee actually in the machine. The machine thinks it has coffee to deliver but instead, you get your frothed milk. Also, you can use other milks such as oat, almond, rice, etc in your frother. Love love love this machine!!!
Thank you. This is exactly what I was looking for in the comments. In my home we don’t drink cows milk, and I usually just add my own frothed milk after I make the coffee, so I appreciate you explaining this feature. 👍
Pulled the trigger on this one today. Thanks for the video it was informative even after watching as many others as I could find!
Does it make very smooth coffee? Better than a good drip maker?
Amazing review!..straight to the point. Great job
Great, down to earth review. Thanks, I'm excited to get one.
excelllent presentation . nice clear voice and slow enough speed i could follow. if anything i wish u would do a video from taking it out of the box to first time use .
Thank you. That's a good down-to-earth review. Liked that you did the math for me
Solid review. Nice and straight forward and genuine. Love it!
Great video Dude! Appreciate the information. I think will get one this Summer.
Very nice review. Close to buying one of these for my wife and I. By the way your kitchen is really nice
Well done! Thanks mate appreciate the time and effort. Cheers
Amazing review! Great job!
Great review. Thanks for doing this
Great review and video...my daughter is a coffee MONSTER...she's constantly going by SB and getting 5-8 shots of espresso on Ice...she LOVES COFFEE! That being said I told her it was time for her to invest in one of these machines. She's going with the varient model or the 3200 that has the Ice coffee function instead of the Americano.
As others have pointed out...ya you didn't factor in the cost of beans and stuff but the math and savings is there. I sat down with my daughter and we calculated she'll break even in 7 months and then she'll be saving over $160 a month...it just makes since.🤷♂️
Got my machine a couple days ago and the first time I tried to make a cappuccino it spat out the milk, ground coffee twice and then didn't pour any into the cup. I just made a cappuccino now it is is perfect. Used the highest been and size setting. I am now a happy man.
I love our Phillips 3200 Latte Go....thanks for the video.
7:35 I was looking for an alarm clock as well, so that's perfect lol. Subbed.
Thanks for the full breakdown of the unit! Picked myself up one on Prime Day!
Hope you enjoy it!
Me too! We find a lot of water in the drip tray, even though we keep a cup under the spout for the rinsing. Is this normal?
I picked mine on prime day too. Did you like it? Mine is so watery and doesn’t taste good.
@@arlokkkkhave you found a better one? Is jura better or what other machine do you prefer?
@@rashasarandah1695I tried everything and still didn’t like it so I returned it and bought a used breville touch and it’s a night and day difference. But you gotta watch some videos in how to make a nice expresso. Rich and bold coffee with a nice crema. I love it
Really good review! Thank you sir
I love the information thank u buying this tomorrow!
Nicely done review. Very informative
Good review! I have been using these machines for 0ver 10 years and will never go back. I have had Saeco and now Phillips which bought Saeco. Cant beat the coffee that pours out of these. Just keep the Descaling up when prompted. Also a tip I have seen from like Seattle Coffee which sells these is to stick your cup in the microwave for a minute prior to the pour.
The 3200 makes awesome cappuccino! I use Starbucks French roast beans, half and half, and a few drops of liquid stevia. It is so flavorful.
Great review! Thanks! 🤘🏽
love this review thanks dude
Nice walk through. When I started to drink coffee at the age around 27.. i know started late. I knew it would be addictive. I buy coffee almost everyday. I realized home made coffee taste better than Starbucks too. I can taste and smell the aroma. So why not buy a coffee machine that I enjoy everyday. Can't wait till mine get here. Ordered yesterday.
thanks for the honest review!
Great review man ! The important thing about it is that you can wash the infusions system easilly.
You barely touched on the most important part of this, which is how the milk container is cleaned! It’s their most impressive innovation. A lot of latte machines have a tube or straw that needs cleaning and will ultimately have to be replaced because it will get moldy. This one has a two part cup that splits the entire “straw” in half (it’s molded into both parts of the cup) exposing both halves completely, so you can clean it from the inside, rather than from either end with a straw brush. It’s a miracle of engineering! Having said that, I am a bit of a coffee snob who drinks very little coffee, and this machine doesn’t really inspire me with its coffee quality. It’s what I would rate as “quite good”, which might sound ironic, but I did say I’m a coffee snob. Most people will love it, so I still recommend it to anyone who asks. I suppose I see it as less than or equal to Starbucks in quality.
Yes comparable to Starbucks plus save my pocket more 😂
Any recommendations from a snob?
@@moomin534 breville barista express has a built-in burr grinder, frother and seems to last, going on 4 years. not the best but very high value at $700ish. It's an espresso machine but the frother allows you to make a lot of other stuff and to tune to your taste. Not as automated as this machine, but it's not hard to clean- you will need to do periodic full cleaning operations maybe once every other month. youtube will explain how.
Great review and awesome style. Not to mention you sounded exactly like Wags on the show, Billions. First 15 seconds I did watch the video I just listened and I did. Double take, lol.
Good solid review. Thanks.
You convinced me. 🙏 thank you! Returned my Nespresso. This is way better!!
Good review. Thanks for the solid info!!
I just got a brand new 2200 series model at a silent auction for $360! Very similar. Just no latte button & a minus a couple other options, but it's fine for my needs. Set it up & played around with it this morning, and love it so far. The milk steamer is pretty ingenious.
Great video review thanks
Great review!
got a new 5400 from a local guy for just 410 usd. can't wait to test it. hope the parts in it last for a decent time
well done , and well explained ..
My left ear really enjoyed this review.
except the fact that my left ear is unpleased with it being left out for about half of the video, I find your review really interesting. You clearly sold me on that LatteGo
Great video! Coffee looks delicious
Thank you!
Great job - convinced.... bought it!
Glad to hear it - Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
Great review. You can expect at least 10 years out of this bad boy. We've had our Saeco/Philips machine for 12 years now. Excellent investment ☕
Fantastic info - Thanks for sharing. It's still going strong for me!
That's not true. These machines are extremely unreliable. There seems to be a huge problems with the heating unit and grinder itself. Friends of mine bought this model together with 2000 series and they had to get their money for the warranty back.
Just like Lukas says it won't last 2years. The milk cup wears down and it cost around 40-50$ to buy. Then is the grinder and the rubber rings around it. If it is in warranty you are safe. If not then it costs 200-400$ to fix. Which is yaics alert.
Would you say this espresso/double espresso can compete with a jura espresso/double espresso?
Making my decision between this and Jura comparable unit soon
Thank in advance.
@@Payton77 I don't know the Jura so I can't comment on it. All I know is the Saeco/Philips is a great investment. We end up replacing our 12 years old Saeco Odea Giro with a 5400 Series. Totally satisfied with it.
Great review! Couple of notes though: in your calculations to justify the price of this you forgot to include the price of the coffee beans (which could be expensive depending on your preference). Also, with these machines you have to take out the brew unit and clean it from time to time under running water. I had genuine Saeco back in the day, and it lasted me 11 years, but with Phillips acquired Saeco, the quality of these machines dropped significantly, and their brew units tend to leak and stall from air trapped inside. Finally a tip - use filtered water with it and you don't have to descale and use the filter in the water tank.
It was on discount for $400 so I bought it, thanks for the review
Great video, im looking to get the 5400.
Thank you for this video :)
I wanted to ask, have you found a way to get it to switch on automatically? as in with a smart plug or on a timer?
Good review, thanks. What is the biggest size of the coffee you can make without milk?
Hello I just bought the same machine when you I’m trying to learn how to use it your video was easy to learn one thing are you using espresso beans for your cup of coffee or regular coffee beans like Folgers or can you use both beans one for espresso then the other for reg coffee ? Does it make reg coffee ?
nice video man ! I wanted to get a Breville Pro , but I realise I just want regular coffee ! I might get this one but Im not sure about reliability
Thanks great video! 😁
Bought this just before I saw this video (just looked at Amazon reviews). I’m relieved we didn’t make a mistake! Lol.
Nice one, thank you!
Great vid thanks. Does it safe the my coffee settings after turning machine off?
Maybe you could put a video showing how to clean the brew group using coffee oil removal tablets?
Good review. Thought it was strange that you have to dump out the water each time after you get the machine going. Secondly, I thought you can make a large cup of coffee by pressing twice, but unsure.
Nice kitchen!
Very good review thank you. Was funny too 🤣. I too will definitely need to be justifying to my wife !!!
Can you use the steamed milk for your coffee? Is that a possibility? Thanks for the review
Great Video. Mine broke - kind of my fault though - I found the internals very hard to deal with and I busted it. It was a nice machine while I had it though. The milk frother was pretty cool. :(
I’m curious if you (and others) are using espresso beans with the built-in grinder to make a cup of coffee via the “Coffee” button or using coffee grounds in the pass-through container?
excellent video
Got it about a month ago. TOP NOTCH!!!!
I need to ask. How long from the time you first set it up until you got great shots? I just got mine and my first ones were like dishwater and I read now that you need to pull between 100-150 shots before it "settles in". Did you know this when you made your video? If you did, why didn't you mention it? What settings do you use for your drinks? I want to like my new machine but am getting skeptical.
Great video thank you. I’m looking now for a comparison video between say this exact automatic espresso machine to the Breville Barista Express Impress. In Vancouver Canada for our black Friday sale week they are both on great sales yours is $899cdn and the Barista Express Impress is $999cdn. Great sale saving about $300. The original Breville Barista Express is now $700cdn on sale. But that one I tried multiple machines last few years and all(4 machines) I had to return because they all broke down in different ways or was just crappy in different ways not working properly. I couldn’t seem to purchase one that was just made correctly!! And they were all new!! So anyway I wanted to treat myself this year and I can’t figure out what I want the upgraded Barista Express Impress with the automatic grind and tamp option making it done perfectly (hopefully it actually works properly) each time and all I have to do is move it over to get the water through it and froth my milk manually when I want a latte. Or go the fully automatic way of this machine that I simply press two buttons and done!! I’m a 50% of the time americano and 50% of the time latte drinker. I do appreciate your info that the milk could be hotter on your machine. I find that very helpful for my pros and cons list. Such an expensive purchase. I do like that your machine can brew regular coffee as welll so that’s a serious bonus because of course my husband is a watered down coffee drinker usually getting XL coffees at McDonalds! What I really would like to know is if the milk frother on your machine creates sweet milk or if it’s just warmed milk? If that makes sense. If milk is done correctly it turned it into such a different product then simply warmed or steamed milk. Correctly done it’s incredibly smooth, almost velvety and noticeably sweeter in the coffee. Makes a much better americano with just a bit of properly done milk instead of cold milk from fridge. And lattes of course taste a world better made properly. The main reason I’m getting a machine or trying again to get a working machine is that everyday I get a Starbucks from my local 3 Starbucks locations and I have to rotate my locations because 75% of the time, more accurately 4 out of 7 coffees I get are made horribly wrong at Starbucks. It’s incredibly frustrating and they always just replace the next coffee and give credit for another one to say sorry. But it’s been happening for years and I’m so very tired of getting 4 bad coffees a week. It help with making the overall coffee bill less with all the free and replacements but I just want consistency. My drink is a extremely basic drink and these so called baristas can’t even get the correct amount of cream in a cup and they brew horrible bitter to the point of can’t even choke it down drip coffee most of the afternoons. I’ve had the managers continuously try their coffees when I bring it back, they get one made on the spot and they can’t believe so many errors and how gross it is literally 4x a week! Anyway sorry for my rant, I just wonder if the automatic coffee maker makes the same quality drink that the Breville can make? I need a comparison between those models, if you see any please let me know the videos and I’ll watch! I appreciate your video thank you 🙏
Thanks so much for this most informative video, I’m on my way to buy one!
Can't wait to hear how you like it!
Definitely if you're a daily coffee drinker, you will recover your investment after the first year. Even more if your drink multiple cups during the day like you do👍
Thank you for fortifying my justification :)
Question for you- when you make a regular cup of coffee, do you ever notice any clear water coming out towards middle and the end of the brew ?
Ok fine one more question- can you adjust amount of the regular coffee being brewed.
some reviewer reported that the foaming with this model was not up to expectation especially for the cappuccino. I wonder if the literature has the option to get the milk frother attachment as well. Will it work with this model?
Nice review and seems like nice machine. In addition to cost at Starbucks or wherever also cost of travel expense of gasoline. I have Krups automatic machine and was more expensive and milk aspect of more involved in cleaning so this seems much better. Does this machine require periodic internal cleaning? I have to run cleaning with a tablet after so many cycles to maintain and this is not descaling as far as I know since use a filter that the machine takes into account. Thanks for the detailed review!
You need to take out the brew group once a week (flap behind the water tank) and rinse it with water, also once a month run a clean cycle with degreaser tablet. I have this since May and it's really easy in maitanance, also the drip tray, coffee grind collector and milk jug are dishwasher safe 🙂
He didn't factor in the cost of the coffee beans, either. Convenience is another big factor in favor of the at-home device. I've had mine for about a year and love it.
Thank you very much for this. I just saw it on sale at Costco. I live in Taiwan and most of the coffee machines here run at between $3,000 to $8,000. The other videos that I watch world basically infomercials.
One thing that I did see that I'm not sure if you know about though is that they said in the manual there's a way to adjust the heat level so that it will come out hotter. I'm not sure if this is true or what.
One other thing I didn't think about was the price break down. Going to a coffee shop here is even much worse than it is back home in Canada. The average coffee here is about $5 and special drinks can run over $10 depending on where you go.
Thanks again for the review. It's really nice to hear somebody talking so straightforward and not trying to sound like they're an infomercial.
You can adjust the water temperature though it's not obvious how. It involves pressing the coffee quantity button when the unit is off. After a few seconds you can adjust the temperature by selecting 1,2,3 from the coffee quantity button.
@@BillPowell1203
Thank you very much. When I went back to buy it I found out that I could make adjustments that way. Thanks again.
What kind of coffee beans do you use ? I read somewhere it is not recommended oily coffee beans in this type of machines. Thank you.
Did you buy the extended warranty curious how much they charge you because it's probably a good idea cuz if anything ever happened to it looks like it's pretty sophisticated
Mine already reach 2 year +.. The only problem happen one time when the grinder cannot grind due to bean stuck inside .. So have to open the upper lid and clean up the grinder mechanism .. Once u open.. U can see how they work and clean up some mess inside 😂.. Anyway its a good purchase and totally worth it
how do you make two regular coffees (2x), do you put a cup under than wait, then put another cup under, and how many scoops do you use
A few questions: 1. If I want a regular latte (more milk) instead of a latte machiato, is there an easy quick way to program it for a heavy milk drink? That is important to me. 2. If I only want to steam milk but no coffee, can I do that? 3. If you want a double or triple espresso, can it do that in one shot? 4. Is there a seal between the water tank and the base? Do you feel that you have adequate amounts of water? 5. When you say "it's not super hot," do you mean the espresso or the milk that isn't hot? Thanks.
No you need a double which you better you finish your drink and do another espresso shot let it go in the same glass. For less money now the terra Kaffe does all that but I love the fact that the milk does not go into a seperate line into the group head. That’s nice
What coffe bean beand do you facour for cappuchino or coffe. Thanks
And the manual says not to use espresso beans as it can damage the grinder, how can it then make espresso ? :)
😀 looks a fantastic coffee machine, ☕️
Hi, I purchased Philips 3200 Lattego few days ago.
I have set the temperature to maximum however milk coffee (latte ,cappuccino) are not coming hot.They are luke warm.
Is this how it is in this coffee machine? Or I got a defective one?
Hi, what do you think is a good budget espresso machine for a small cafe (5 table)? We have a budget of 1,000 USD.
Did u consider the 2200 since only the two main drinks you make is espresso and cappuccino?
Also find it weird it pours milk first, where as juras and delonghi are opposite.
my right hear liked this review
Thanks for the video, very helpful. Do you mind sharing which beans you use? I read that you’re not suppose to buy “oily” ones and I’m new to this so I don’t know which ones are better quality. Thanks I’m advance!
Hope you know by now you can adjust how hot it makes the coffee.
We have had this machine for over a year, and love it. Weird request! Recently I have noticed an electrical buzz noise coming from ours, not sure if that’s new or if we should be concerned. Could you put your ear to the top part of the machine where the ventilation grate is on the side that the water tank is and tell me if you hear like a high pitch humming electrical noise? I know it’s weird, but want to get it fixed if it’s a problem. Also, perhaps a little more information on the brew group and the maintenance involved would have been nice to talk about.
I do not hear this noise..., it's loud for sure but about the same as when I first got it as far as I can tell.
@@shinynewgadget5163 so you do hear a electrical buzzing when the machine is off, or it’s just noisy when it’s on or running? Appreciate the feedback. Trying to determine if we should send ours in for warranty work.
Love mine!!
This thing is $550 on prime day I think it's a steal
what's the size of the largest coffee you can make with this machine?
I bought a 4300 2 months ago and I love it, at the beginning I was feeling that the coffee wasn't strong enough to my taste, but now I think it's okay. I keep the coffee setting at the most strong possible and stead of add more water, I do a double dose, it's even better :) Regards from Montreal.
dude, that's an insane amount of coffee, please rethink your caffeine intake as im 70kg and do the smallest dose and if I drink the whole cup i start to tremble for 1-2 hours
@@diany5965 dude go see a doctor
@@diany5965 Definitely go see a doctor. Ever drank an espresso?
@@diany5965 old age maybe 🙂
Great video! Thank you! I purchased one - do you use Expresso beans when you make the regular cup of coffee?
My coffee is only heating up to 160 degrees F, but online says the coffee should be at around 194-205. Is there a way to make the water hotter, besides using the machine's basic 3 levels of hotness? Cuz technically, I feel like this coffee maker is causing our coffees to not be the best they could be.
LOL - good review. in terms of pricing this is the cheapest option for this level of coffee maker (bean to cup) with its features - there are some 12 different grind settings.
How would someone make a flat white with a machine like this? I'm seriously considering buying one
Does anyone know with the coffee option how big of a cup it will make?
I am actually sitting here waiting for my 4300 Lattego to arrive. I also drink a lot of coffee and have an old Kurieg that this going to replace. Looking forward to it. Oh actually this is going to replace both my Kurieg and my wife's Nespresso machine
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
