Philips 3200 LatteGo Review: Complete Walkthrough and Tips

[@DeersThrone]

Found one for $10 at a thrift shop! So lucky. Thank you for the helpful advice

[@craftcoffeespot]

@@DeersThrone great find!

[@lauwe54]

Watched the video tips about this machine but this is far the best and well explained,thanks again.

[@Sneakypetevaporizers]

Nice review! Just received my 3200 and like others I found your video really informative, especially the strength tip. I was surprised the unit didn’t have a frothing only option. I guess I’ve gotten too used to the 2 function option

[@josephjasem7926]

It’s a common misconception that the third option button is a frothing button when it’s not. First button is for the amount of coffee beans🫘you want. Second button is for the amount of water you in your espresso shots. And third button is for the amount of milk🥛in your drink. The froth volume is already set in each of the drink options.

9:18 wow, just bought this machine and found this very helpful. Especially the tips on the grinder and water temperature. Thanks!

[@craftcoffeespot]

@@randydpro glad it helps! Those settings make a huge difference. Coffee tastes “watery” out of the box.

[@prateektayal6895]

Didnt know about the coffee temp adjustment feature!! Thanks!

[@craftcoffeespot]

@@prateektayal6895 happy to help!

[@marilouth5044]

Thank you so much for share... I have buy this coffee maker 3200..and I couldn't make the coffee strong. After your videos I make a perfect coffee.. The only thing I can't find is for the water temperature...

[@craftcoffeespot]

Happy to help! Note: water temperature is different for some models. If you don’t have a LatteGo (model 3221), manual says "Tap the coffee temperature icon repeatedly to select the desired temperature." Try that.

[@marilouth5044]

@@craftcoffeespot know I understand thank you so much for helping me... Have a perfect day with perfect coffee of course

[@Faazz01]

Well articulated review. Thank you!

[@marebearing]

Great review! Enjoyed watching yours

[@JuanGCruz]

Thanks for sharing your review. It really is a nice machine!

[@caddywampus]

Such a great review, thank you!

[@septber-e4j]

Excellent review, thank you

[@sheethalarun1462]

What does the button in middle mean, the one below the notif that shows there's no water. How to correct it.

[@craftcoffeespot]

That second light means empty the old coffee pucks! Pull out your water tray, and you'll see empty pucks behind it. This turns on every ~6-8 shots, and you need to pull out the tray *while the machine is on* to reset the counter. You probably already emptied it, but unless the machine is on when you pull out the tray, it won't reset.

[@rocksteadyie]

Excellent video and well presented, my concern is the cappuccino that you got from the video was like espresso not enough quantity.😮

[@4dogsloveme]

Can someone tell me how to make a double cappuccino and single froth.

[@craftcoffeespot]

@@4dogsloveme is it not the option on there for a double cappuccino? Choose low froth level and high strength.

[@KatyalSahani]

Hi. I have set the temperature to maximum. However, milk coffees (latte ,cappuccino) are not coming hot.Coffee tastes great however its luke warm. Is there any other setting I'm missing?

[@craftcoffeespot]

I’d try running hot water first - that may help preheat the machine. That sounds very odd as mine got really hot.

[@GreenLitYT]

I just bought this and the quantities are kind a disappointing. Even on high nothing changes. With out the milk it doesn't even seem like a cup of coffee. I end up brewing twice to get he amount I want.

[@JackDanielsGrandIllusionist]

Just got mine after seeing so many good reviews and same problem. Coffee just seems too watered down even when changing settings…

[@GreenLitYT]

@@JackDanielsGrandIllusionist I love mine now haha, It need to break in. I mainly use the Expresso (Expresso is fine for me, it's very strong), Macchiato and Ice coffee on mine. Mainly Macchiato because I have it customized to how I like it. If you press and hold till you hear beep then you can customize how much Steam and coffee comes out. For example with Macchiato you let the milk/creamer steamer go for how ever long then hit The start button again to save then coffee will come out and you press the start again to save that setting. So try making a custom cup setting. Once you do that once its saved for the coffee setting.

[@JackDanielsGrandIllusionist]

@@GreenLitYT thanks for the tips buddy. Unfortunately I ended up returning mine yesterday lol

[@kelleybisceglie724]

Hey! Your video has been so helpful, I’m trying to find out how to use the pre ground function for the coffee though. I saw you said you can use that even with the beans at the top. My machine is just dispensing water when I have the ground option clicked. Any tips?

[@craftcoffeespot]

@@kelleybisceglie724 hmmm, I don’t have the machine anymore, but my knowledge was all you do is put coffee into the top chute and don’t need to change anything. It recognizes coffee has been manually added… Anyone else here have ideas?

[@lvlan44]

I cant change the standby time. If i hold the calc clean button when it's off, nothing comes up. Any suggestions?

[@craftcoffeespot]

Unfortunately, not sure. Try reaching out to Philips.

[@lvlan44]

​@craftcoffeespot thank you!

[@jason1872]

Great video! Well explained and given opinions. What grind setting do you find best for regular coffee? Using Lavazza beans but haven’t changed the grind setting ever.

[@craftcoffeespot]

I run at a 2 or 3 grind setting.

[@craftcoffeespot]

Try going one notch finer and you should notice a difference. Take note - it may takes several drinks before the old coffee grounds are purge through the burrs.

[@jason1872]

Thanks I'll try that out

[@drtgc9983]

Do we need to press the power button to turn it off every time after using it?

[@craftcoffeespot]

Not really for back-to-back drinks, but it will auto shut off and rinse before shut off which helps keep it clean.

[@Sysshad]

Thanks for video. Manual says dont use espresso beans because it can damage the grinder. But how can it then make espresso?

[@craftcoffeespot]

Any coffee beans can make espresso, espresso is about how you make a coffee as a concentrated quantity, not the beans. “Espresso beans” really means “very dark roast”. You should avoid really dark roasted beans, because they are oily and the oil clogs the grinder. That’s the problem. I think you’ll find medium roast tastes better and less bitter/burnt. Also, if you’re buying specialty beans (like stumptown, intelligentsia, or counter culture), expect they’ll all be good even their “espresso roast.” Tl;dr don’t use cheap, oily coffee beans!!

[@KatyalSahani]

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?

[@craftcoffeespot]

That is odd, and this is the second comment on this. You can try running hot water to pre heat. Otherwise, I may contact Philips.

[@MasterTaster]

Excellent review! Tnx a lot! Keep it up mate

[@lulukab1523]

Can I use ground beans to make espresso while there is beans on top

[@craftcoffeespot]

Yes

[@sappcheng2113]

What happens if the grind size is set to 1?Will it affect? Should i dial to 3?

[@craftcoffeespot]

@@sappcheng2113 I would go one step finer and try a cup at each level. Your favorite might be 3, or it might be 1. Have to try each to know.

[@TheFroderik]

Could you recommend smth to do if coffee is dispensing mostly (sometimes only) from the one pipe? (brewing regular espresso) thanks 🙏

[@craftcoffeespot]

The nozzle is clogged. Use a small needle or pin to poke through the hole and break the coffee residue. Try to even take off that front nozzle and clean/soak it thoroughly.

[@TheFroderik]

@@craftcoffeespot thanks, it helped! I also have read the same recommendation in the manual 😊 but haven’t found yet any info on how to take off front nozzle

[@craftcoffeespot]

@@TheFroderik my guess is it’s not easy to remove. I’d use a pin to unclog it.

[@Murasakibaraatsushi2]

Beautiful review, thanks.

[@craftcoffeespot]

Thank you!

[@milangelajimenez5646]

I don’t know what’s wrong with mine. It doesn’t even fill up a medium cup . My settings are all the way up.

[@craftcoffeespot]

Make your grind size coarser. Also, remember all these sizes are relatively small. The largest is still 6-8 oz. For a big drink, you’re better off making a double espresso and adding hot water.

[@TheCaffeinatedOrganist]

Great info. Thank you

[@lauwe54]

thank you great video well explained

[@deanfeldman2505]

Nice review

[@mariyamarych]

Thank you so much

[@jasonhe1988]

why is my coffee coming out first then milk?

[@craftcoffeespot]

Not sure. Doesn't natter though.

[@qwerty123860]

Thanks !

[@delisasadventures6609]

That is not a milk froth setting that is the temperature setting

[@Bacardibombillo]

Just here to see how to get hot water for my Tea🤬🤬🤬👎👎👎
