Absolutely love this coffee machine!!!
6 Month Edit: Still going strong! I love this thing. I can’t remember the last time I bought a latte from a store (except maybe during travel). It’s definitely going to pay for itself in the next couple months. This thing sparks so much joy in my life! My only small complaint is that the milk froth option only goes up to making a 12 oz latte. The carafe holds enough to make a 16 oz, but you have to run 2 separate milk froths to get there. It’s a very small thing but for the future it would be nice. Also for some reason it doesn’t “remember” that I usually do 2 espresso shots, so I have to select that each time. Basically my biggest complaints are software complaints ha. The machine itself works so well. It is easy to clean, easy to maintain, and our water is fairly hard but I haven’t had to change the water filter yet even though I use it everyday.Still great! I’ll try to update at a year ðOriginal Review:I have spent actual years of my life trying to find the cheapest way to make espresso lattes at home. I started simple with an aeropress, a moka pot, upgraded to a cheap espresso maker, bought a grinder, etc, etc. And yet I still found myself buying coffee at coffee shops. I personally didn’t have the patience to find the exact right grind and the exact right tamp to get a store quality espresso.I finally caved and bought this 4300 series latte maker. This thing is going to save me so much money over the next year. I’ve only had it about a week but I’ve already used it every day and it’s perfect.It’s SO easy to use. Set up is a breeze. It basically works right out of the box. It comes with a water filter which was nice. Once you get the beans in there, it takes 2-5 shots to “load” the mechanisms and actually put out a shot of espresso and not just water. I did need to adjust the grind to a finer grind (setting 3) to get a good crema. If you adjust it after beans are in, make sure you do it WHILE the grinder is working (you’ll have to brew a shot to do this) and be ready to work quickly. I guess if you do it while it’s off and there are beans in there you can damage the grinder. I would make sure to read the instructions all the way through, and get familiar with the machine. Once you do, the whole process is a breeze.Once you have your settings dialed in, making a latte is as easy as put a cup underneath, press a button, and go. It takes approximately 1-2 min for a latte. It grinds beans fresh for every shot. If you set everything to the largest settings, you get about a 12 oz latte.Cleaning and maintinence is super easy. The machine steps you through most of it. It tells you the steps to take to install the water filter, tells you when to empty the waste grounds contatiner, gives you multiple cleaning settings. I rinse out the lattego container twice and it takes less than a minute. I feel like this machine is so well thought out and it feels pretty well put together.Overall I have very little to complain about. Once I dialed in my settings, I found the coffee I get out is as yummy as any latte from a coffee shop. My biggest complaints are:- You only get about a 12 oz coffee automatically, if you want a 16 oz or 20 oz, you’ll have to do multiple milk froths and espresso runs- The machine is rather loud. It’s not a deal breaker for me by any means, but in the morning it can be a little jarring and it always spooks our cats.- Adjusting the grind setting is a bit of a hastle. You have to do it while the machine is running and while it does that , the grind setter wants to move in the opposite direction of which direction you’re trying to go so you have to have a pretty decent grip on it. Luckily you should only really have to do this once.- The latteGo carafe leaves about a cm of milk on the bottom even if you’ve put the right amount in. If you dump and clean it out every time, you’d end up wasting a decent amount of milk.-I’ve heard people have a hard time using the pre-ground coffee slot and I haven’t tried it. But it does get pretty steamy each time it runs which I imagine would make it rather hard to clean.Some tips and tricks I’ve learned since using this machine:- This thing likes to rinse itself out a lot. (Which is good) but it’s a little more hastle to clean out the water catcher on the bottom. I just keep an old coffee cup nearby and let it rinse into that and dump it out every time. It’s a lot less cumbersome to clean out.- If you have leftover milk in the latteGo, I do 2-3 automatic rinses to get milk out of the milk tube and then put the whole container in the fridge for the next day. It cleans out the frothing mechanism enough that milk doesn’t go bad in there and you don’t have to waste the little bit of milk in there.- A lot of regular espresso beans might be too oily for super-automatic espresso machines. Apparently that oil will eventually gunk up the grinder, so it’s recommended to buy medium roast beans. You can google some beans that are safe for the machine and find the best ones for you. I like the lavazza brand.- If you’re like me and enjoy a flavored latte, invest in some syrups with the pumps. It really really completes the whole “barista at home” thing I was going for. Even better if you can get a tiered holder for all of them!- If you want to be a little extra, get yourself some disposable coffee cups with lids. They’re definitely worse for the environment but if you’re drinking everyday it can get a little cumbersome making sure you always have a clean travel cup. Or just invest in a bunch of dishwasher safe travel cups!This thing is pricey for sure. But I’ve definitely spent a long time and a lot of money before this to try to replicate what it can do and it is so worth just spending the money on it. It sparks a little bit of joy for me every time I use it and gives me the quality coffee I want everytime. It is easy to use and maintain. It also makes making multiple lattes a breeze if you are a multi-cup household. As long as it doesn’t die within a year- it’ll be so so worth it!

Magical but not Magic…
This is a one-week in review. Bottom Line Up Front. This is a great machine and probably one of my best buys over the last few years. However, some caveats need to be kept in mind.First the Pros+ Easy to Use: it is a fill-it-up and push-the-button after you get past the break-in.+ Easy to Clean, especially the milk system and anything the coffee touches+ Filters keep the water system cleanThings to keep in mind+ The first few cups should just be tossed. When you get the machine, I recommend setting it to a larger-than-normal grind setting and running about ten double-shot expresso. Once this is done, it is very consistent+ Unless you are motivated, get the milk frothing system; it saves time and will make life easier. If you skip this, you will spend your coffee time frothing milk.+ There is more than normal coffee maker maintenance: This is true for all similar machines. If you have the frother, you need to clean it after every use because it touches milk. When buying any similar machines, learn how to maintain them before purchasing.+ Nonfat and nut/soy-based milk will not froth because of physics. Whole milk works the best, but 2% will froth too.+ These machines use a lot of water, so the drip tray needs frequent emptying, also watch the water level.Cons,+ This system makes only small cups, if you are used to Starbucks sizes, you may have to push the same button a few times. My morning coffee is usually two lattes and an Expresso shot in the same cup.+ Much of the instructions (empty grounds try, fill water, etc.) are done by counter and timer; therefore are unreliable. I have gotten a few messages about emptying the grounds just after emptying the container. Same with the water level so keep a close eye on both.+ The Grinder, You get a better and stronger coffee with a larger ground size. Logically this should be the opposite. This is probably because the smaller grounds take longer to grind, so less gets into the system before starting the brew because of the timing of the grinder. If you want a fine grind, add it to the grind hopper manually.These cons are probably there for every super-automatic machine, so none should knock this one out of considerationâjust things to keep in mind when looking.I do like the machine. Once you get past a break-in period, it is very consistent. My choice was because there were no tubes in the milk system, and I could understand the maintenance of the machine. This was a major point for me as the milk system must be cleaned daily, and the brew group needs regular cleaning to make fresh-tasting coffee.One improvement should be additional sensors, Weight of grounds, water level, used ground container, etc., but this would push the machine’s price beyond its current price point.

Overpriced Keurig machine, get a jura.
I bought this because it supposedly did the same thing as the one in my home builders office.Every time me and my wife went to my home builders office for picking out things and options for our custom house they would offer us coffee. Me and my wife always thought they had like a coffee shop in the back.One day I asked how you guys make this amazing coffee, well they took us in the back and showed us it was this coffee machine which I didnât know about at the time but they told me it was a jura as well as the label on the machine.Well me and my wife love coffee so we decided we wanted something like that so we figured we get one too. That was until we found out how expensive the jura was. I did some research and found out. It was basically a all in one coffee machine and I came across this Phillips that had great reviews and supposedly did the same thing and a lot cheaper.Long story short, we went through 4 pounds of coffee beans trying to get the Philips to taste anything close to the Jura, and eventually gave up, me, and my wife conclusion was, itâs basically just a expensive Keurig. Honestly, the Keurig coffee, taste better, and the espresso on the Phillips taste like crap.So we decided to just get a jura like our home builder. In all honesty there is a night and day difference between the Phillips and jura. The Phillips is a $900 Keurig while the jura is actually a espresso all in one machine that tastes like coffee shop coffee.Lesson learned as usual you get what you pay for. Ps the jura has already paid for itself because no more Starbuck trips, also my home builders jura has been working non stop 30 plus coffees a business day they told me for 5+ years.

Used to have a Saeco Vienna Delux years ago, sold it because it was really a real estate hog on the countertop. Totally missed it though. This is a fantastic alternative. Holds ample water, so easy to refill or empty it too. This iteration of superautomatic is perfect for home. Not overly large and the way the water compartment slides in you can easily have it under the upper kitchen cabinets on the counter. No need to pour water in from the top.On my original Saeco, circa 2000 (cost $2K), I never used the milk steamer because it was a pain to clean. This one, just push the button and it self rinses. Take the milk container off and just rinse it too. All key cleaning points such as the drip tray/spent grounds container also simply slide out for quick clean without ever having to move the machine.Reminder, if you need to change the grind, the unit must be actively running and only 2 clicks at a time.Great improvement over previous version.Love that I can brew a full cup of coffee (in metric or imperial measurements) and then run a separate “milk foam” to top my coffee. Certainly less fat/calories than putting cream in my coffee AND much more interesting. HAHA, even used one of those flavoured creamers and it worked great too.Hubby layers his coffee, makes a cappuccino then top loads with espresso/restretto and more steamed milk all in the same mug.Intuitive controls, easy to understand (for those who never read the manual). My only negative is temperature. Have it set to the hottest level, I still like my coffee, espresso etc., very very hot. That’s just my personal preference.

I own a high-end ($3,400) Jira and this unit is easier to use and makes better coffee. The LatteGo concept is brilliant and works very well. Most importantly, cleaning is lightning fast as you just take the carafe off, separate the two halves and rinse them. Since no milk goes into the machine, you don’t have to clean the machine. Only a wand would be easier and arguably not!! The other advantage to this approach is you can put as much milk in the carafe as you want and then return the extra to the jug — not the case if you steam your own. I find the temperature (set at highest) as excellent and will remind people that if you don’t heat the mug, you are going to instantly cool the drink. I heat it with boiling water from a kettle. This is a super easy machine to use at an amazing price and I plan to replace my Jira with it as I NEVER steam milk by hand with that machine.

First off, it got delivered sitting on its side while there was clear indication with arrows to sit upright.Then we followed every instructions on how to set up the machine (cleaning, water testing, rinse cycle, etc) and then we placed the beans in the hopper and we brewed a coffee. Lots of weird noise and after a while, it brewed only water. We tried brewing another 5 coffee, changing the grind size and it was an inconsistent brew quality of various bean coloured water varying from clear water to brown-ish clear water comparable to orange pekoe tea that got too much water).Tried all the support video from Philips to no avail.

This is our first super automatic espresso machine and it is so convenient and easy to use. There is an initial break in phase that other people have talked about where at the coffee came out super weak. But even in the instructions it advises that it will take a few cups for the machine to self adjust, which it seems to do. The LatteGo feature is a no brainer as it takes the guess work out of creating milk froth. It’s so simple and easy to use with just a press of a button. Clean up of the LatteGo system is really easy too as you can just use the quick rinse feature to clean out the LatteGo container and then put back the remainder left over milk into the fridge to store using the LatteGo container. If you want to do a deep clean of the LatteGo container it just comes apart and then snaps back together easily. I love the variety of drinks that it can make as well. Having the user profiles does make it easier between my spouse and I as we have different strengths and volumes. Having the digital display is a great feature to have also as it’s very visual and helps you create your brew to your liking while saving it to your profile for next time.If simplicity and ease of use is what you’re looking for this is definitely the unit to get. We debated between the 3200 and the 4300 but ultimately went with he 4300 for the additional brew varieties, user profiles, and digital display. No regrets whatsoever going with he 4300 as there is no guesswork as the digital display tells you the measurements. We’ve had it for over a month now and have no complaints so far.
