Philips 4300 LatteGo | Crew Review

[@noahhubbell2474]

3 years of intense use and still running like a champ

[@BhavinPardiwala]

Can you adjust temperature of the milk coming out?

[@bennylloyd-willner9667]

Sounds great 👍, I just ordered a 5500 . Looking forward to some yummy coffee 😊

[@MisterNorthernCanuck]

Thanks to this video, this machine will be my "from me to me" gift this year!

[@raulizquierdo7507]

Can you share whether the grinder setting was adjusted for the Velton's Bonsai Blend? I assume that depending on the coffee, one might need to tweak the grinder setting. It would be interesting if the team shared what settings they prefer with their favorite coffee.

[@dvonklum897]

Caffe Crema @10:58 is not a milk based coffee - just espresso based. I just got the Philips 5400 last week in the US (from a different retailer) and I really like it but I am still trying to see the difference between the Coffee and Caffe Crema pre-set drinks. Honestly these 2 drinks along with Espresso, Ristretto, and Espresso Lungo seem to be the same drink just different water volume - I don't think there is any other difference in the way they are brewed? It is convenient to have them pre-set and not have to reprogram the amount each time, but in essence there is no difference. I really like the fact that the machine can change between milk froth first for Cappuccino for example, and milk after coffee brewing for the Cafe au lait. Other comment about your review - the instruction say to take the LatteGo carafe off for hot water. I guess if you don't have milk in the carafe you can get the hot water with the carafe on but it will probably lower the temp and might be bad for the carafe? In any case, thanks for all your review videos you guys post!

[@J-ZIM]

In Italy, caffè crema is sometimes used for a crema rich espresso drink

[@jatinrai1645]

Which automatic coffee machine will do everything this machine does as well as gives good microfoam for occasional latte art?

[@atomicfire001]

Hi! Any idea on when the 5400 will show up?

[@tutunmayan]

How do you compare it to Gaggia Cadorna Prestige? Very similar machines

[@randomfrankp]

Thinking mine is defective. Everything is 95% water that comes out and it’s barely enough for 2 sips, regardless of the amount setting and drink.

[@SeattleCoffeeGear]

Did you buy it from us?

[@nikekaiju]

Read various reviews of the 4500 that said the same thing. Wondering if it’s a common problem and our a wave of defective units. Did you ever get this problem resolved? Thinking of this or the dinamonica plus

[@markkuk2440]

@@nikekaiju Yep and they cant even fix it. Too bad, it was good coffee and lattego was great. Swithed to Melitta and it's been 100% reliable and built better.

[@EverythingEvo]

@@nikekaiju Didn't know there is a 4500 model?

[@enriquetorres8334]

Can you explain what I might be doing wrong? because the tray fills with water every time I brew a cup of coffee. So, every time I make a cup of coffee, I have to empty the tray immediately or else it will overflow on to the counter.

[@sammieduboyce8562]

I can’t get the crema on top of my espresso, what should I adjust?

[@CrystalsEra]

Hi. I have this machine and seems like the brewing oz are not accurate. How can I fix that? I have set the max on brewing/froth and get way less than half a cup. Ex. Cappuccino settings: espresso 1.4 oz and milk 7.1 oz I do not get 7.1 oz of milk I get about 4oz total 😮

[@realitychecktime101]

In the market for a new super automatic, how would everyone say this unit compares to a Jura Z6? We currently open a Z6 and are getting tired of sending it off to be repaired by Jura for various problems that pop up at $300 per service trip.

[@johnanderson5242]

The coffee is not hot enough even though the setting for the hot water is high should be a setting for extra hot,have to microwave the coffee for 30 seconds to make it extra hot.

[@nisreennawar1959]

Hi, can you adjust milk temperature? Or espresso temperature?

[@gsmcelwee]

Can a cortado be made with the 4300? Would I use one on the preset milk drinks and configure the proportion of Shot and milk. Can I control the temp of the milk and how frothy it gets?

[@kimha5963]

Does this rinse before and after making a cup? Saw water going into my cup when walking away after pressing brew

[@madisonsutton5466]

It comes with the pre-rinse setting turned off, but you can turn it on in the settings.

[@Yeah_Buddy_LIGHTWEIGHT]

How does the machine do when using milk alternatives like oat milk, almond milk , etc.?

[@NoZenith]

They are more difficult to froth with there being less fats and stuff so it's more steamed milk than actually frothed. I believe Pacific has an oatmilk specifically called Barista Blend or something like that has additives to make it froth but I haven't tried that. They put gums and emulsifiers in so it stabilizes the bubbles so it's more like milk instead of being more like water. Irregardless of the type of milk you use you never really get quality cappuccino foam but that's not the point of something so convenient and yet still relatively affordable. My cousin actually mixes liquid coffee creamer with almond milk for her morning mug in her 3200

[@janicefeige9984]

What's the grinder set on

[@fortunatedad7695]

These machines are awsome!! Love mine!!

[@SeattleCoffeeGear]

They really are!

[@henryy9014]

After making a latte, do you put the latte go container back to the frig or have to clean it after every use?

[@markfromlodz]

You can put it back in the fridge. I watched another video where they recommended cleaning it once a week.

[@wotanproject]

Find the drinks weak at best. No programmability to set double shots on the milk drinks. To get a cafe quality like drink you to set max coffee setting, set volume to 20ml and then go into other drinks and add Ristretto shot or two.

[@xe9ys]

How do you empty the pucks?

[@SeattleCoffeeGear]

Hello! There's a grounds bin that slides out. It's a breeze!

[@keithsturgill5152]

Is there a difference in the grind/brew noise level compared to the 3200?

[@NoZenith]

All the reviews I've seen, the only difference is the user interface, screen and options. It has the same grinder, Hopper, lid, everything, the entire chassis except that shiny face instead of black plastic and that more involved touchscreen with more settings

[@softwarephil1709]

Supposedly the 4400 model (+$100) is quieter.

[@H-RutherfordHill]

How is the milk temperature? Is it hot enough?

[@lukepatterson8406]

Can anyone tell me if this has an iced coffee setting?

[@SeattleCoffeeGear]

There is a Philips machine specifically made for Iced Coffee! www.seattlecoffeegear.com/philips-3200-lattego-iced-coffee-superautomatic-espresso-machine

[@hellohogo]

surprised you say the milk is hot, i've seen several people say that it's not hot enough.

HOW TO MAKE ICE COFFEE ON PHILLIPHS 4300

[@EverythingEvo]

Just bought one from your website!

[@evinbarlowe5335]

Great review! Just bought one off your website!

[@lauwe54]

Good video well explained thank you

[@arthursap123]

What advantages does the 4300 offer against the 3200? Is going for the newer model worth it? If I understood correctly it's mostly the display monitor, how significant is the improvement?

[@Supersonicff-dw6bs]

If you want to be able to just froth milk alone for things like hot chocolate, Chai Tea, etc., you must get the 4300. 3200 doesn't have that option. There are other differences as well, which are explained in the video.

[@whya2ndaccount]

The machine touts the ability to set up "Profiles" but they are useless. You go through all the steps to configure a coffee and it saves it. But then when you want to use it you can't just click on profile Blue or Green and hit "go" to make that preset. I asked the support people why and they said you might want to use one of the 8 different types. My wife just wants an espresso in the morning. I just want to select my wife's profile and hit "go" and get an espresso (set up the way she wants). I don't want to choose between 8 different types of coffee. I want to easily/quickly use the one I saved in the profile. These "Profiles" are a waste of time as they don't save any time at all.

[@samsousayt]

They talk about Pre-Groud.. But What pre-groud size does it take ?

[@CameronLestagez]

is there a timer i can set to have it automatically make?

[@grecuovidiu9]

no

[@N3UM4NN4TOR]

What do I do if I want a latte or cappuccino to fill a full cup? I’ve selected the highest settings for coffee and milk just to see what happens and it still pours just a little bit. Any suggestions? My friend’s 3200 has a “custom drink” option that you activate by holding the brew button down. Mine doesn’t seem to have that.

[@DiaArtDenmark]

Did you find an answer to that issue Matt? Just because I would want that feature as well ☺️

[@N3UM4NN4TOR]

@@DiaArtDenmark sort of yeah. I set the settings to fill a half cup and just run the drink 2x’s and it does the trick.

Im deciding between these two as well, what did you choose?

[@coleburton5056]

@@marcovani8135 I went with the Lattego 5400 from Williams Sonoma, which I received 10 days ago. I’m loving it so far! My only complaints so far would be the water capacity, as it’s needs refilled frequently since it rinses upon power up and power down. Also, I wish the milk got hotter. When you just do frothed milk for hot chocolate, I find that the drink is warm, rather than hot.

[@greyworks3538]

Machine broke in 5 month and I called Phillips and they made so many excuses and then blame me for the usage and refuse to repair the device. I sent emails and called several times but to no use. Just gave up and going to post nasty reviews on all the phillips products. As you can see from tag this one manufactured in March 2021 and i got it in July from amazon. And today Mar1 I have been calling them from January and they did not honor one year warranty .

[@riasb]

Please call consumer support! Warranty for EP is two years not one :o and it will be sent for repair. So sorry your experience wasn’t the best. Hopefully you get an awesome agent that know their stuff and care for your concerns

[@damndan]

Excellent and detailed review and information. I am trying to decide between this Phillips model and a De'longhi bean to cup and finding it hard to decide. Q. What is the price per cup of coffee with milk and without milk. Thanks.

[@benitasingh7170]

Can it make hotchocolate

[@larissaziemba9162]

Yes! You can either pour chocolate milk in the LatteGo container and use the milk froth option (quite tasty)...or use the hot water option and then mix powdered packets in your cup of steaming hot water. However this is an expensive machine and will be overpriced if you use it just for that.

[@h3lio5]

au lait is pronounced “oh lay”

[@cravefour]

Enough time for me to drive to 7-11 and get a $1 coffee there 😋

[@thewebsiteisdown7720]

As an owner, I can say this is the device for you if you're looking to kill an hour of time in an effort to get a single cup of slightly burnt coffee.

[@rehabmax]

A true cappuccino should have the coffee brewed first and then the milk on top.

[@bricejohnson4272]

Even if you are perfectly correct, the purist are not going to buy this. Most people just want a fast good cup of coffee from a machine that is easy to clean and low maintenance.

[@CameronLestagez]

agreed with bruce and also brice, but i think it taste bout the same

[@dennisargall]

You obviously can’t make two cappuccini at a time with that milk spout… but you can make two small strong black cups after heating some milk frothed or flat. While the coffee brews you whack the jug of frothed milk on the bench a couple of times to get rid of big bubbles, add quality. Then add the milk on top of the coffees with or without stylish pattern…. And in the quantity that suits, sip to check. Should take no longer than making cappuccino twice. The defined coffee types are just a guide. It’s clear with the three rows of settings that you can make whatever you want, experiment as much as you like. And of course when you buy different beans you have to do new settings.

[@zconiglietti]

Actually not necessarily. As far the old Italians told me and showed me it's about how much milk you use and how much foam and what type of foam. I'm talking old school not this new barista Starbucks stuff. Cappuccino need to have a "cap" that can hold a coin or a biscotti. So if you ad milk before or after the point is to have the foam on the top shaped like a pointy cap. Not this latte art bs. You get a biscoti and a spoon and you have a couple of spoons of foam with your bisctotti and gossip about the newest things that happened. Then you continue drinking it. This is what I've saw, what I've learnt and how normal Italian people did it. Different rules for latte machiato espresso machiato caffee latte. It about the ratio of milk and foam etc. When I see a cappuccino without the "cappa" it's just meh... What's the point cuz you're probably making a café latte and a latte macchiatto with that mix...
