Got phillips 4400 version. The worst coffee machine we ever tried, going to ship back. Cheap materials, poor instructions, milk throttle makes just one kind of foam, limited drinks optuons, limited modification options, espresso is simply not good and not comparable to our old jura.
funny about bed bath and beyond I bought my nespresso there many years ago then the philips 3200 then the 4400 the the saeco xelsis now my Delonghi eletta explore.....Hope you find one that suits you
Hi I have the same machine. It's one of the best out there keep my grind setting at 4. I use 2% milk for the best froth for milk based drinks. Grinds are not all over as people suggested. Cleaning the brew group once a month submerged in water for 5 minutes. water filter is a choice. I use refrigerator water which has a filter plus I have no hard water. Lavazza supercrema beans I find the best for grind setting "4" for all coffees drinks but thats my taste. If you like very hot cappuccinos try the flat white to me provides hotter froth also on a regular cup of joe .You can use the hot milk setting just make sure you there to stop it.....lol. I have had philips latte go ,saco xelsis and( jura10 returned after a week). Youtube also has lots of videos too..... ....................
FYI - at least for my area (US) the 4400 is on sale at Amazon for $588. I just replaced my 3200 with one yesterday (was having problems with the grinder randomly seizing up and getting three orange LEDs after about five years of daily use). The 4400 grinder is much quieter than my 3200 and the interface is nicer, though I think I’ve read that most of the internals are likely the same. I think it’s worth the ~$39 or so difference in price.
We got the Philips 4400. Pretty happy with it overall.
I have the Breville Barista Express, plus a Philips 4x00 lattego, plus a Nespresso Cities and Milk. The Breville makes the best coffee out of the 3, the Nespresso the most convenient, and the Philips is in-between and gets used the most. Even given the price, the Breville still takes "tuning" as the outcome is very sensitive to beans (type, roast, roaster, age, etc. all need different settings) Get a Gaggia classic and one of the white box grinders (DF64) for a good starting point. Espresso often turns into a hobby bordering on obsession, so be warned. :D
Phillips latte go are pieces of garbage and there customer service is terrible! First 3 months leaking water twice sent in for warranty service weak espresso shots. I finally returned it and got an Italian semi auto machine. Lelit Kate I love it
I have a Phillips LatteGo and I love it. Cleaning milk is a thing of the past. No milk tubes.
I have a Phillips LatteGo, and I love it. It's def not like pulling your own espresso, but still a cup or coffee, espresso or milk drinks. And no milk tubes to clean.
Short answer: Quality. Long answer: You need to try it out yourself. I went to my local Williams Sonoma and tried out the Philips Lattego, Delonghi Dinamica plus and Jura Z10. And also the Breville impress touch semiauto. I was pretty sure I would get the Delonghi. But after we tried the Jura, it really was no match. The Breville Semiauto and Jura Z10 were the same quality, others just tasted vastly inferior. So I’d recommend calling a local williams Sonoma, asking if they do demos and if they have the 3-4 machines you’re interested in trying and try them out.
