3200 Series Fully Automatic Espresso Machine, LatteGo Milk Frother, 5 Coffee Varieties, Intuitive Touch Display, 100% Ceramic Grinder, AquaClean Filter, My Coffee Choice, Black (EP3241/54)

I've been using this espresso machine for a while now and love it so much that I actually bought a second one for my parents as a Christmas gift this year. Between managing my own business and keeping up with my girls, I need my coffee routine to be as smooth as possible, and this machine really delivers every morning! The Brew Quality It does take a little bit of trial and error at first to dial in the settings for the "perfect" brew. However, once you find your sweet spot and use high-quality beans, the coffee tastes amazing. It's honestly better than what I used to get at the local cafe. The ceramic grinder keeps the flavor really fresh, and the touch display makes it simple to choose between an espresso or a latte. Maintenance & Features One of my favorite parts is that the cleaning and maintaining is minimal. I don't have much extra time in my day for deep cleaning appliances, so the fact that it’s so straightforward to keep up with is a huge plus. I also use the hot water feature constantly; it's so convenient when I just want a quick cup of hot water to drink or for making a cup of tea in the afternoon. LatteGo System The milk frother is also a standout and I treat it as my weekend treat. It’s a very simple design with no hidden tubes, so you can just rinse it out or pop it in the dishwasher. It makes a really nice, frothy foam for my lattes without any extra hassle. I do wish I can double up on the foam though and wish they offered that feature. Overall This is a solid 5-star investment. It looks beautiful and modern on the counter, it’s reliable, and it makes delicious coffee once you get it set up to your liking. It was such a hit with my parents, too! Highly recommended for any busy household.

I purchased the Philips 3200 Lattego with an additional filter as part of Amazon Prime Day, so my review is directly tied to that discounted price. I find that this machine is really worth the money. It makes excellent espresso and latte macchiatos. That is a given, but how does it handle milk alternatives. I feel like there isn't much comment on this, and I think it is worth discussing. Since realizing, after two decades of pain and suffering, that I am lactose intolerant, I switched from milk products to oat milk. I typically purchase Silk brand's original oat milk, but I also buy their creamy version, and other brands of oat milk. This machine does a good job of heating and frothing the oat milk, however, because it is quite a bit thicker than milk, it uses less oat milk in the automated process. This doesn't bother me too much, because I typically use the latte macchiato function twice in a row to fill my coffee mug. Yeah, it is a healthy amount of espresso in the drink, but that can be adjusted. It does work with oat milk, and I prefer it that way. I have not tried it with soy milk, almond milk (might be a good choice given how thin it is), cashew milk, or other milk alternatives. I recently also thought I would try lactose-free Horizon organic milk, and it works as a normal milk product would. It froths a lot more than the oat milk does, so be prepared for a lot of foam. It tastes a lot like an espresso drink you would have at any coffee shop, other than Starbucks. Even using Starbucks espresso beans, it comes out slightly less perfect than they can do, but over significant use, it surely pays for itself and it is still darn delicious. One tip to mention is that when using pre-ground beans, make sure to close the lid after you load in one scoop. Don't overfill it and don't load it too early. When wanting to use pre-ground coffee beans, make sure to power up the machine and let it do the cleaning cycle first, before loading in the grounds. My machine doesn't seem to do the pre-ground stuff as well as I'd like, and it has to do with the process. I am not sure why, but it will sometimes take two or three tries to get the machine to make it correctly, but once it does the first time, you can repeat the process in the same power cycle without issue. Load one scoop of grounds, close the lid, choose the drink, let the machine work. When it is done and you can select a new drink, repeat the process of loading the grounds, closing the lid, then choosing the drink. I'm not entirely sure I would buy this machine at full price, but if you see it on sale, it is a great deal. I think the regular price of this one versus a higher end one from Philips is only $100 or so in difference, and the higher end models, 4300, 5400, etc., offer more options. That can be important for some. On sale, with the milk carafe, it is a bargain and worth it for the first super-automatic espresso machine. I think the price to consider picking it up if money is an issue is the $650 or so price point. Amazon Prime Day's deal was less than. Highly recommended. Made in Romania UPDATE: I have been using this espresso maker for some time now, and I still think it is a great buy, especially on sale. Everything has held up great since purchase. I thought it might be good to leave some additional thoughts. First, the issue when using ground coffee seems to be less so. I have only experienced issues with it twice since my last review. Second, the one new negative thing I have found is that it can be a little noisy when in use. That doesn't stop me from recommending it, but if you need something super quiet, this might not be the one you want. And finally, don't forget to clean out the cavity where the used grounds fall out of. I never thought to clean it and one day my wife noticed some mold smell coming from that area and I had to stick my hand in and clean it out as best I could. I use it daily and I clean that part about once a month, and that seems to be good for me, but also note that I live in the dryest region in the United States, so we don't really have humidity to make the problem worse. That's all. I still highly recommend it, especially when on sale!

Breaks, and flawed engineering. I like the idea -- steamed milk, espresso, whole beans are all good. Made decent coffee for a while, and I get to pick my own beans. But then various stuff went wrong. Recently, steam coming out wrong and making a strange noise during espresso cycle, apparently the solenoid has a leak. OK, I kept using it for espresso only and not steamed milk because it still functions and I can microwave my milk. Just now, no beans get ground up, even though the grinder makes noise, so now it only outputs clear water, not espresso. After troubleshooting, apparently there is blockage in the path between the grinder and the brew group, and taking off the bur cover would let me access the path with the blockage. But I cannot remove the one screw that holds the bur cover. The screw is recessed way deep - seems ridiculous to me. I got the other screws off to open the cover no problem. The last one maybe is stripped or something, but I cannot even see it way down in its tunnel. I was willing to break the cover just to see the blockage and out of curiosity now that this is probably garbage, but I'll need to think about how to use a crowbar to get the thing off - it will not come off. Who engineered the recessed screw? Crazy. And even if I do get access to the area, who knows whether that is actually the problem, and if so, why would I think that is the last problem.? I'll guess that a 3rd thing will break soon too, if I manage to fix the first. Maybe repair and replacement parts could work ... but I want a working product, not a part-time job fixing a coffee machine.

I absolutely love the Philips 3200 Automatic Espresso and Coffee Machine. I have owned this machine for over three years, and it continues to perform exceptionally well. It consistently makes some of the best coffee I’ve had at home. One of my favorite features is the wide variety of coffee options available. There are many choices to suit different preferences, and each drink is very easy to make, even for everyday use. The quality of the coffee is outstanding. Each cup is rich, smooth, and flavorful. It honestly tastes like something I would order at a coffee shop. This machine has also saved me a significant amount of money by allowing me to enjoy high quality coffee at home instead of buying it out. I really appreciate the self cleaning function when the machine starts up and shuts down. Maintenance is minimal. All we do is change the filter and use filtered water, which makes ownership very simple. Finally, the price point is excellent for the quality you receive. The performance, durability, and features make this machine an incredible value.

Came from a Nespresso Vertuo machine to this. I like that I can make various coffee drinks. I mostly make regular coffee but have the option of a capuccino when I want it. Great Prime Day deal last October. Some things to note: 1. Is it loud? Yes it makes noise. It grinds coffee beans and all, but it doesn't run very long, so it becomes "normal" after a few times. 2. Does it use water? Yeah, some people mention it uses a lot and leaves a lot in the drip tray. If you are making anything that uses the Lattego milk function, it will use more water as it uses steam (that comes from water) to froth up the milk. The extra water is a by-product of the steam. When I make regular coffee there is very little water in the tray. Still wish the water capacity was bigger. I find myself drinking more coffee now cause I like the coffee I get from the machine. 3. Is it hot enough? Yeah....when it exits the machine it is around 196 degrees. I placed a thermometer in the coffee stream coming out of the machine (at the highest temp setting). The National Coffee Association recommends 195-205 degrees as the Optimal temp for extraction. Going straight into a cooler vessel (mug/glass whatever) it won't stay hot forever, plus it won't make like 12 oz cups like a K-Cup machine does, so it will cool faster. I like to add half and half to my coffee. With this machine I learned to heat my half and half in the microwave before it brews into the cup. Not really a pain just something different I am used to. Still wish it went to 205 degrees, just a little extra would be great. 4. I use the coffee function and use the top settings for water amount and get the right size for my mug. I run it twice for a travel mug. 5. It makes a pretty decent coffee, strong enough. I left it at the grind setting it came with. I remember when I tried the coffee at a Williams Sonoma store, I asked the demo person what setting they had it at, and the sample coffee was good. 6. Keep the drip tray and grounds catcher container empty. I let the grounds stack up and the machine wouldn't brew. My fault. Just empty and continue. I cancelled a brew mid stream when I realized the grinder was making a different sound (out of beans, my fault). It wouldn't do anything after I paused, so I unplugged it and plugged it back in and it was fine. 7. Clean the unit as described in the manual or watch the Philips video on YouTube. Nothing crazy hard, just let it dry for the rest of the day. I find the sliding channels for the water container build up some coffee grounds, I just wipe it down with a damp paper towel. I did one descale recently, again, follow the directions and it's fine. Also ran one of the oil remover tablets as well. These machines cost money so take care of it. 8. Break in period, follow it. I admit it was a bit more than I would have liked. Bought some cheap beans to run through the break in. A bit of a negative. 9. Enjoy exploring the choice of whole bean coffee out there. I'm finally settling into a few that I can find easily and close by. 10. I like to add flavored syrups etc to the milk in the container before I brew. Really mixes the flavor in well. And easy hot water rinse for the milk container afterwards. Careful removing the clear container from the base, I broke mine the first time, as I didn't push the tab down to remove the clear container. 11. Machine looks nice in the kitchen. If you want the extra Wow go for one of the models with the LCD screen. Overall a good machine that requires a learning curve. It may be too much for some to want to learn or bother with the cleaning, break in period etc. But if you want a coffee adventure this machine will provide it. No complaints, no issues for me. Update: being away from home a while and I had my first coffee from this machine in a few weeks….I missed it. The coffee this morning was so much more flavorful. Lavazza Classico Beans are fantastic for the coffee function.

I can’t say enough great things about this coffee maker! We love it and everyone who comes over to our house usually ends up buying one for their house too. This is professional grade quality coffee at home. This machine is totally worth the investment and we’ve been so happy we get to make coffee at home that tastes so good!! I have to say, we have become quite coffee snobs since purchasing this machine. It’s also wonderful that we have five different coffee options to choose from. I also use the hot water feature every day when making my hot tea, too. Typically, we have to clean out the tray that pulls out at the bottom about once every 4 to 5 days. When I say you have to clean it out, I mean you need to dump the grounds in the trashcan and rinse out the part that holds the grounds. Easy peasy! Philips did a great job with this machine. The bottom part also has a tray that holds water that comes out during the powering up process. This is to ensure that the lines are clear and there’s no stale water in the system. It’s very easy to clean out too-you simply pull the tray out and dump it in the sink. This accommodates very tall mugs and small cups too. We bought the one with the added milk frother because we do tend to enjoy cappuccinos and latte macchiatos and our guests enjoy this feature, as well. This has been a great addition to our house and our friends that come over to visit us always want to make a cup of coffee. I can’t tell you how many friends and neighbors we have had who have seen this machine and end up buying the same one for their home. This brand is known to be high-quality and we’ve been very happy with our purchase. One of the features that made us choose this coffee maker was the fact that it was so easy to use. The machine grounds the beans for you and makes it so fast to clean. If you were looking for a coffee maker at home and you want to experience quality coffee shop coffee, I can’t recommend this machine enough. We love it and I feel confident you will, too.

My wife and I bought this machine about 2 years ago, and it has held up nicely over time. It’s proven to be a simple, reliable alternative to going out to buy coffees and lattes from coffee shops, which is perfect since we work from home pretty much all the time. We’ve got 3 adults in our house and on average drink 5-6 total cups per day, and we so far haven’t run into any major problems. One issue I had at first was that the coffee wasn’t as strong as I was used to (I tend to like it pretty strong), but it’s still good coffee. You can make drinks stronger by adjusting how fine the grounds are with a little knob in the bean compartment at top, but I didn’t start messing with this until very recently. You can only adjust in small increments while the grinder is active to avoid damaging it. This machine is good for guests who want to make and customize their own individual drinks, though there is a small learning curve for first-time users. Once they know how to use it, they often comment how cool it is, and some have said they’d like to get one too (if it weren’t so expensive). Maintenance is fairly simple: You have to change the water filter every few months, rinse the easily removable “brew group” every week or two, and apply grease to it every couple months. The only problem I had was reinstalling the brew group for the first time (there’s a little yellow switch on the side that needs to be in the right position). There was also one time we didn’t change the water filter while the replacement light was flashing (it gave us plenty of notice; we just procrastinated too much), so we had to buy a special descaling fluid to clean it out before we could use it again. Yes, the machine can get loud, but I haven’t met a coffee grinder or latte maker that was quiet. This machine’s noise level seems pretty standard to me. There are a few little tricks to using and maintaining the machine so that you can get the most out of it, but so do most machines like this. Overall, I’d say it’s very easy to use and makes good drinks. The price is a bit high, and you also have to consider the added costs of buying whole-bean coffee and replacement water filters. But convenience like this often comes at a price, right? I would say it was worth it for us.

I was very skeptical of dropping $1000.00 on a "coffee maker". I've had this LatteGo for almost 2 months and I am very pleased with the quality and performance of this machine. I have not purchased a coffee outside of the home since I got it. So, at $3 to $4.50 for a coffee, espresso, or latte from one of the brand name coffee shops, I have to say I have saved a lot of money and the machine will pay for itself after a few months. In my opinion it makes the coffees at the same quality, look, heat and taste as the big coffee shops. One of the reasons I purchased this unit was the LatteGo container. It is so easy to clean instead of the tube style machines. I use soy milk and it froths it just like milk. My wife uses 1% milk and it does the same job. I used the factory settings for all drinks and they come out just right. Easy to fill the water and beans. The water tray is a good size and so is the "puck" container; we empty both twice a week and that is from making 3 to 4 coffees a day. The machine is a good size, but make sure you have counter depth front to back and cupboard clearance height to put the beans in the top. I should have bought a machine like this many years ago instead of messing around with the manual coffee presses (yuck getting coffee grinds in your mug from this method!) and small coffee grinders. This unit has it all in one. The grinder makes some noise but so far hasn't woken anyone up and is quieter than the whistling kettle for manual press coffee making. I found that when watching videos online of the unit in action the grinding noise was loud but it is just the bad mic quality of the video camera amplifying the noise. I am very pleased with the purchase.

Love it! If you need help deciding between which model to get - frother or latte go. Here’s my opinion. I decided with latte go mainly because I had an espresso machine before which broke down, but I was obsessed with frothing the milk and doing latte art (for a good 1-2months) then I kind of got sick of it and sometimes wished I could drink a latte without doing so much work! And when I’m running late to work, there’s no time to manually froth milk. The 3200 latte go is worth the extra money for the convenience and added drink options. It literally makes my latte in 3min, machine start up is instant, and clean up is so easy. Btw, making green tea latte and other milk based drinks are possible. Select latte macchiato and stop the milk when it’s done dispensing. **Make sure to follow the first time set up instructions (very tedious, takes 15min but a must. Do it so that if there’s ever a mechanical failure with the machine in the long run, you did your part. There’s a step by step video on it from the manufacturer)** Some reviews had mentioned how it doesn’t vent well and is prone to mold build up..... (let me explain - the machine can take whole beans or pre-grinded beans). The pre-grinded bean area is the same area as the vent. 1. The whole beans section has an “aroma seal” so the steam won’t affect it. 2. if you want to use pre-grinded beans, it does say to only use 1 scoop per each coffee, so the machine can vent itself after each use. 3. If you are worried about mold build up, I would suggest to use whole coffee beans. The machine has a built in grinder. I don’t see any reason to purchase pre-grinded beans instead. Espresso machines can vary in price so I suggest do your own research. For me this did seem expensive at first but after comparing this to other super-automatic espresso machines, this one is considered to be priced entry level. I’ve been using the machine for over a month now with not a single issue, and I can say the price is well justified! After all it is an investment if you drink coffee everyday.

We bought it used in good condition. Could have been cleaner...but it was fine we cleaned it up and away we went. Had to go on line to figure out our cause they're was no manuel...but it's easy enough to pick up! Love the temp settings...and some control. It doesn't get quite as hot as we'd like but then maybe we like it too hot. It Froths well And I love the Americano setting for the rich flavour. Creama is thin but present! Works well for us. We find we use more coffee beans than with our DE Longhi. We are happy!
