Philips 5400 Latte Go vs. 4300 Latte Go Super Automatic Espresso Machines

[@williamrenkart3410]

I love how she doesnt waste time or try to be fancy and just gives us the details!

[@mikefendel]

Just purchased but have not yet received my 5400. Watching several various KZbin videos and found yours to be the most clear and concise of them all. Truly appreciate the thoughful way you organized the features you wanted to demo and most of all your clear and moderately slow speech and diction making the learning about this machien very clear. Can't wait to receive my 5400 and try all the wonderful coffees you demonstrated!

[@MXvsATV144]

Finally had our 5400 arrive last month and wow it’s so amazing!!! Never before was a huge hot coffee drinker, I have a pretty good Braun drip coffee maker but it doesn’t compare to this. Never really knew much about or ever drank espressos, americano, Cafe Au Lait, cappuccino, or many other hot drinks. Was always the typical iced coffee drinks from Starbucks. Being winter out has helped but I love these drinks now!!! Finding the best coffee beans to use for certain drinks is the new adventure.

[@Consiglioskitchenware]

Hi Erik, Great to hear you are enjoying the unit. You can explore our locally roasted espresso beans here - www.consiglioskitchenware.com/collections/fresh-roast-espresso Cheers! Consiglio's Team

[@squangan]

Just one clarification. A single Aquaclean water filter will not allow the machine to brew up to 5000 cups between descaling. It will require many Aquaclean filters over that timeframe to allow the 5000 cup descaling interval. On average between two coffee drinkers we have to replace the Aquaclean filter every three months, it is still well worth it however. On another note I have owned both Delonghi and Philips machines now and Philips has vastly superior after sales customer service.

I only have one question: "What is the difference between Philips 5400 Latte Go vs. 4300 Latte Go?" You know? Like the title says..

[@tonipeake3658]

She tells you, more drink options and more user profiles

5400 12 coffee options, 4300 have 8 coffee option...

5400 have also 4 users profiles and one no where profile

[@senttel]

I think 4300 does not have an extra-shot feature either. Personally I always do it manually on my old 2200, so it's a nice feature.

[@Consiglioskitchenware]

Yes, this is correct!

[@sebastianlatorre11]

I have the 5400 LatteGo now! Very nice in all functions. Especially the milk system! It's unique! No problems with "milk-tubes/pipes" and the bacteria! Just a little bit noisy. Maybe close the kitchen door early in the morning. No problem for me. But many people in Europe talk about the noise. But for the price very ok! Thanks for the nice video.

[@carolebersole4025]

Curious about cleaning the milk frother since there are no internal tubes. Do you just run hot water through the frother to clean the internal mechanism? Thank you.

[@Consiglioskitchenware]

Hey there, you can press the milk clean button and hot water will pass thru to clean the carafe. The carafe comes apart and can be placed in the dishwasher to disinfect. Ciao for now!

Excellent review I've now chosen the 5400

[@naomiali1706]

Hi! I felt like the 3200 was perfect, till I saw the 4300, and then - until I saw the 5400 which is when I found your video in attempts to see what the 5400 has the edge on. As for the travel mug feature, how is it that the 5400 can do it but the 4300 cannot? Do the models differ in how tall drinkware can be? In the video, the travel mug looked short enough to be a regular mug. I use a taller travel mug but probably no differently sized than the tall glass mug you use at the 10:30 mark… (thanks..) Edit - my mug is around 7” high, I’m guessing a lot of people just pour the brewed coffee into their mug. (My mug fits my cup holder for the car).

[@carlo1132]

Hi Naomi, The max cup size for the 4300 and 5400 is 5.9"

[@Consiglioskitchenware]

Hey Naomi, The 5400 travel mug will allow you to access a higher volume, closer to approx 12.2 oz. The foot print of the units are the same Width 24.6 cm / Height 37.2 cm / Depth 43.3 cm. If you have a very tall travel mug you will need to transfer the brewed coffee into it as it will not fit under the spouts. Adjustable Spout Height 8.5 - 14.5 cm Have a great day! Ciao.

[@zorbakazam]

Great video thank you super informative , Which machine you recommend as better coffee taste and easy maintenance the Jura e8 or the philips 5400?

[@Consiglioskitchenware]

Hi there, Great questions. Jura machine maintenance: - milk frother clean cycle, daily - brew unit clean cycle, monthly (approx.) - the smart filter removes the need to descale, if you do not use the recommended water filter, you'll descale when the machine light comes on. On average every 2-3 months, or depending on your usage on the machine. Philips maintenance: - remove the brew unit, weekly and rinse under the sink - the Aqua Clean water filter will allow you to not have to descale for up to approx. 5000 cups, but you will still need to change the water filter on average every 2-3 months, depending on your water hardness setting and machine usage. Excellent questions, have a fabulous day! Ciao

Hi! thanks for the great demonstrations! I've just bought the 5400 model and love it! however I use "normal" coffee beans and I wondered if the optimal beans would be those sold as espresso beans?

[@Consiglioskitchenware]

Hi Melisa, thanks for reaching out! We recommend espresso beans for these machines. The process to brew standard coffee beans is different, and in order to achieve the best results, espresso beans are recommended. It is also important to use high-quality non-oily espresso beans. Some brands that are over roasted to disguise impurities can be harmful to your machine, these brands are typically very shiny and sticky. We do our own roasting of premium high grown espresso beans. The quality of coffee you use is the most important factor in achieving a premium cafe-quality beverage.

Hi! Im so torn between the Phillips and Breville Touch? Any insight?

[@Consiglioskitchenware]

Hi Domenica, Thanks for the comments. The Philips machines are excellent and get loads of positive feedback. They are fully automatic and will make consistent beverages for you each time. As you know there are a few models of the Philips - 4300 and 5400. The 5400 has the most beverages to choose from, extra shot function, travel mug option and 4 user profiles. When working with manual machines, you are the one who acts as the 'barista'. You'll need to ensure the tamping pressure is correct and the grind size and dose are correct as well. With the Philips fully automatic machines, simply add beans and milk to the machine, press the Latte button and the machine takes care of the rest for you! It comes down to what process you are also looking for. I recommend the Philips over the Breville Touch. Here is a link to the Philips machines - www.consiglioskitchenware.com/collections/super-automatic-espresso-machines/brand_philips? Ciao for now.

Hi Gavin, Sorry for the late reply. The Dinaimica Plus can do cold brew. That is one of the main differences. If you love cold brew then the Dinamica offers that. It brews at a cooler temp, so you do not have to water it down with so much ice. You can always add extra ice to a hot brew, or simply toss it into the fridge.

Hey there, If your units water hardness is set to high, it will prompt you to change the water filter more frequently. You can reach out to a Philips tech support agent at 1 833 737 1212 and they can troubleshoot with you. Your unit will work after changing the filter 8 times. It will, however, prompt you to do a descale after the 8th filter needs to be changed. Have a great day!

Hi, one of the best and most descriptive videos I have seen in a long time. THANKS! I have TWO questions. and sorry if they are already asked, could not go through all 136 comments :) 1. Except for the number of drinks that they can make, are there any other differences between 5400 and 4300? 2. When buying coffee beans, how can I tell without opening the bag, that the coffee is oily or not? Is it mentioned on package? Any other way you recommend us buying it? In Indy I do not have access to your brand coffee. THANKS again!

[@Consiglioskitchenware]

Hi Sly, Great questions. Unfortunately, packages of beans won't really reveal if they are oily or not. Some tips on espresso beans: - avoid oily whole beans, or use it in preground form via bypass - you can tell if beans are oily if they are very shiny - if you hold a few beans and they leave a residue, they are likely too oily - look for beans that are matte in colour 5400: - 12 beverages - extra shot function - travel mug - user profiles 4300: - 8 beverages - user profiles I hope this helps clarify.

[@zarilla]

Thank you for this video! This is a wonderful explanation and the best one I've seen explaining the 5400. I do have a question which is a major hassle with my current machine. Because I do use an oily bean I have to always use the bypass access for the ground espresso blend. Can you save the bypass setting to your profile? Thank you again for the video and the advanced help!

[@Consiglioskitchenware]

Hi Crystal, Thanks for the comments and for the excellent question. To the best of my knowledge, you will need to manually select bypass. You can of course save all other preferences to the user profile, strength, volume, etc. The unit will need you to manually select bypass as it is done on a basis-by-basis scenario. Otherwise, the unit will grind fresh beans each time. There is no way to program bypass to a user profile. I did confirm this with a Philips Tech Agent as well. Some tips on espresso beans: - avoid oily whole beans, or use it in preground form via bypass - you can tell if beans are oily if they are very shiny - if you hold a few beans and they leave a residue, they are likely too oily - look for beans that are matte in colour Safe beans to use in the grinder are Consiglio's locally roasted beans. They are matte in colour, not shiny, not oily and safe for all grinders and automatic machines.

Question: putting the price aside, Philips 5400 and Jura Z10, which one produces the best coffee?

[@Consiglioskitchenware]

Hi Francis, thanks for the question. The 5400 makes 12 hot beverages. The Z10 makes 32 hot or cold beverages. They are different units. The 5400 is made in Italy, the Z10 is made in Switzerland. The Z10 is a larger unit overall. The grind setting and the type of espresso bean have a very large role in the overall taste of the beverage. If you are looking for a machine that can do cold brew coffee and milk based beverages then the Z10 is the way to go! There is more technology built into the Z10, for example for cold brew the grinder will automatically grind a coarser grind and the unit will use higher pressure with cold water to extract more aroma and flavour for cold brew. 5400 - www.consiglioskitchenware.com/products/philips-saeco-5400-lattego-fully-automatic-espresso-machine-ep5447-94 Z10 -www.consiglioskitchenware.com/products/jura-z10-aluminum-white-super-automatic-espresso-machine-makes-32-hot-and-cold-beverages-15361 Z10 Demo - kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZqXiZ2Jqr10i6c Thanks for the comment!

[@Consiglioskitchenware]

Hi Melissa, thanks for your questions and comments. You can use the bypass on the units. This means that you will use one scoop of preground espresso, that goes into the bypass chute (sits just in front of the bean hopper). You then select the 'bypass' option on the menu and you'll be good to go! This is often used for decaf preground, but can be used for any preground espresso. The Philips models brew hot coffee/espresso. You can brew your beverage and toss it into the fridge to cool, then you'll be able to enjoy with less ice. This means you are not watering it down. You can also explore the Dinamica line of DeLonghi, these machines can brew iced coffees! How does it work? Well, the unit brews at a cooler temp, then you can use less ice. Many models come with an ice cube tray too, so you can freeze espresso ice cubes - this means no watering down at all! How exciting!

What happens if using oily beans? Residue? Clogging? When are oily beans useful? Are they poor quality? Only used for other types of machines? Curious. TIA

[@ConnectCreativeDesign]

​@@sylviasanchez5868 Hi there. Oily beans are bad for two main reasons. The first reason not to use them is that over time they will stick to and clog up the burrs of the grinder. But by far the biggest reason not to use them is simply taste - oily, shiny beans are typically old, poor quality beans, usually from supermarkets. These beans have been roasted (often very dark), packaged then sit in a warehouse for months, if not longer. They will taste awful! Freshly roasted beans will have a nice matt appearance, and during extraction will release all their oils in to the coffee creating an amazing, sweet crema. It's very hard to create a coffee with a decent crema using oily beans.

Hi Chris, No, the machines cannot be connected directly to a water line. That is not common for home use and is not recommended for home use. Only very large units intended for office or commercial use can sometimes be connected to the waterline directly.

Hey there, There will be more milk in the latte macchiato compared to the caffe latte. The caffe latte is more like coffee with a little milk. Hope that helps.

[@methos7208]

Great video! Could you please tell me what brand of glassware you are using when you are demoing the 5400? I have been looking for some nice looking ones. Thanks!!

[@Consiglioskitchenware]

Hi there, these are Zwilling Sorrento glasses and can be viewed here - www.consiglioskitchenware.com/pages/search-results-page?q=zwilling+sorrento

[@worldrecipeoflife3806]

the Flat White function looks like the Latte Macchiato. It is supposed to be flat.

[@Consiglioskitchenware]

Hi there, A flat white has more milk compared to a latte macchiato, traditionally. You can, of course adjust the espresso to milk ratio to customize to your preference for each beverage. Ciao for now!

Hi .. I'm wanting to purchase the top of the range model, but right now it is unavailable as sold out .. would I be right in thinking the only / main difference to the next range down is 8 types of cup rather than 12 ? .. I'm thinking you could easily modify one of the options to get the others anyway ? .. appreciate the feedback !! :)

[@Consiglioskitchenware]

Hey Ashley, I trust you have sourced the answer. I will confirm here as well. 5400: - 12 beverages - extra shot function - travel mug 4300: - 8 beverages You can create any beverage you want as you can froth milk on its own. Therefore, you can create any beverage in two steps. Link to Phillips Machines - www.consiglioskitchenware.com/collections/super-automatic-espresso-machines/brand_philips? Ciao for now!

I just want a great cup of coffee that I make a large enough volume to fill a travel with Just Black coffee.. is this a cool machine for that I’ve never had a super auto .. also can you suggest a bean that would have sweet nutty notes and flavor ?

[@Consiglioskitchenware]

5400 is a great choice, makes a travel mug and you can program volume on all beverages. Extra shot feature is great. 4 user profiles so you can program your beverage the way you want and have it saved.

[@CindyMay]

Can the Ep5447/ make regular coffee and a shot of expresso with out you manually set to make expresso After regular coffee?

[@MXvsATV144]

Yes, most drinks do have the xtra shop function, but it can lock out if you do double portions. Like if you max out the ounces size on some drinks, and try to double that it won’t allow the double shots

[@Consiglioskitchenware]

Hi there, sorry for the late reply. Yes you can select an extra shot function on the coffee beverage. Link to Phillips Machines - www.consiglioskitchenware.com/collections/super-automatic-espresso-machines/brand_philips? Cheers!

What is your personal opinion Saeco Xelsis vs Philips 5400?

[@Consiglioskitchenware]

Hi Chevalier, thanks for commenting. A main difference between the two is that the Xelsis can brew 2 milk-based beverages at a time thanks to the design of the milk spouts. This is unique and not seen on too many machines. The Xelsis also offers 15 beverage options and has 6 user profiles. The 5400 is one of Saeco/Philips newest models. It offers 12 beverage options, 4 plus 1 guess user-profiles, and a unique extra shot function. Both models have the same internal brewing unit. Both machines yield a wide variety of beverages and are both very easy to use. For more specs please see the links below.

Great review thank you. When brewing a double espresso for example, does the machine perform two brew cycles or just one? Is there difference between the 43 and 5400? Thank you

Hi Eric, thanks for the comment! Much appreciated. Yes, the unit will grind two separate shots of espresso! Yes, this video outlines the differences between the 5400 and the 4300, here are bullet points of the differences. 5400: - makes 12 beverages - extra shot function - travel mug - more detailed display control panel with coloured beverage pictures 4300: - 8 beverages Both have the same footprint and size.

[@TheAladmeral]

So if the 1200, 2200, 3200, 4300, and 5400 all have the exact same brew unit, then there's no need buy something other than the 1200 carina if you only want to drink espresso.

[@Consiglioskitchenware]

Hi there, if you are simply looking to produce espresso then yes. If you want the option to make a one-touch latte, cappuccino, flat white or other milk-based beverages, then the latte go machines would be recommended.

[@farhanadill454]

hy, how many cups can you make by philips 5400/ 90 ...

[@Consiglioskitchenware]

Hi there, you can make two espresso or coffee beverages at once. For milk-based beverages like cappuccino or flat white, you can make one at a time. The machine also makes hot foamed milk on its own. This allows you to make beverages like hot chocolate or customized milk-based beverages in multiples.

About the brewing unit that comes out, isnt this basically the same or very similiar to other brand machines and is the most copied part? In other words, most same caliber machines use the same compaction of grinds for the puck, same psi/bar, samegrinder type/style, etc. Saying that, many machones make an equal coffee for you and its just the looks and feel of the machones that we choose? I feel these Philips are superior just for the frother since it has no tubes etc!

[@Consiglioskitchenware]

Hi William, Philips has similar brewing units to Saeco and Gaggia. Each machine offers a different style, beverage options, user profiles, settings, etc. So it comes down to what beverages work best for you, the size of the machine, style, milk frothing style, etc. Link - www.consiglioskitchenware.com/collections/super-automatic-espresso-machines Cheers.

This is my 2nd Keurig coffee maker of this model. kzbin.infoUgkxBrV-RbF5Nk0Rlt9i15aao-YMzqzTG8Vf The first worked fine for more than 2 years, and I could still get a decent cup of coffee out of it if I fiddled with it when I decided to replace it. The problem I had with my first unit was this: When attempting to brew a cup of coffee, the unit would either keep brewing until the coffee was undrinkable or it would not run long enough and the coffee produced was way too strong. I cleaned the unit as best I could but it did not help. So in the end it was just too much trouble to get a good cup of coffee out of it, so I decided to replace it with a new one, which has been working great since I unpacked it.
