Product Information

The machine’s hot water spout is used for steam for steaming coffee, cream, etc. If you prefer instant coffee or a tea bag, you can use it and need hot water. It points a bit out from the machine and constantly ensures it is not pointing too far or wearing the water. Water reservoir The patented AquaClean water filter ensures hygienic, clear water - without impurities. This eliminates the need to descale the fully automatic coffee machine for up to 5,000 cups*. After combing through all the sub-models and color variants, I agree that comparing these two machines is most helpful: In fact, the current leader in this category, the DeLonghi Dinamica, “only” has the brand’s standard stainless steel conical burr grinder. Don’t get me wrong: this isn’t the end of the world, but it does cause confusion — not just for me but also for those who’ve tried the Philips 3200 LatteGo.

Based on consumer testing in Germany comparing leading One Touch (Coffee + Milk) Full Automatic Espresso Machines (2018). The coffee machine has to be ground a lot finer. Other thins when putting the coffee in the ground sport, the measuring cup full tamp it is tiny flat bottomed scoop and get level just heaping. It is equivalent to using 3 beans setting if it can choose which pre-ground coffee maker. Finely ground coffee is fluffy and needs to be compacted a bit for better results. Philips 3200 lattego dimensions On the lowest setting, a single serving was about, while on the highest coffee setting, it dispended about 4 oz. on the low coffee setting, 5 oz. on the medium setting, and 6 oz. on the high setting, with the ability to manually program your desired beverage quantity. Editor's note: Unless you also adjust the brew strength accordingly, the same amount of coffee is used, meaning my 4 oz. cup tasted stronger than my 6 oz. Noise levels — which are pretty tolerable — during brewing aside, the extraction process is a bit too fast for my taste. On a side note, Latte glasses up to 5.9 inches in height fit below the spout, and even very small espresso cups are a reasonable distance from the coffee outlet. Espresso and Milk Froth – Wrong Way, But Still GoodAs regular readers will already know, I maxed out the coffee strength (3 out of 3), minimized the water volume (1 out of 3) and selected the highest possible temperature for my espresso. Philips Espresso Machine: Brewing and Operation Since the Philips LatteGo 3200is typical of this simpler style, I’m guessing it will prove popular with older folks in particular.

Once you power it up, the machine takes about 2 minutes to warm up and performs an automatic rinsing cycle, so don't leave a mug at the ready. You'll know the machine is ready to use once all the drink icons are lit up. Operation then just involves selecting your drink, and adjusting any preferences like strength and quantity. If you want to adjust grind level, you'll do that from the top manually. The differences between the 2200 and 3200 Series are pretty small. So one specialty coffee more or less isn’t exactly a real selling point. Now the automatic LatteGo milk system versus a steam wand is the only distinction that makes sense to me. Setting Up Your Philips 3200 LatteGo: Grind Size, Volumes and Temperature The LatteGo milk system* offers maximum convenience. It consists of only two parts and no hoses, meaning that can be thoroughly cleaned in seconds.

You don’t need to be a barista to make a latte with the Philips 3200 espresso machine

Then again, that’s probably because the stainless steel style plastic casing not only looks high quality but is so, surprisingly. And the main components are just as impressive. Philips LatteGo Grinder The espresso is also a very good temperature and a well-rounded, robust affair — as you’d expect from a perfectly roasted Robusta. With its two-part milk frothing system, the Philips 3200 LatteGo scores well when it comes to cleaning, though in other respects, it’s on par with other good competitor products. Aside from microfoam’s serious density, the espresso and milk froth from the super automatic espresso machine are more than drinkable. It’s just that I’d have liked it if you could somehow tweak the microfoam’s consistency — which isn’t a problem with the DeLonghi Dinamica. How to Clean the Philips 3200 LatteGo: No Biggie! Temperature can also be adjusted, but requires pressing the coffee quantity icon while the machine is in the OFF position, selecting the normal, high or Max options as indicted by the light icons, followed by the start/stop button. I found the standard hot temperature to not be hot enough for my liking, so you too may need to tamper with this setting.
