Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Philips 3000 Fully Automatic Expresso Machine with Lattego Milk Frother is an amazing coffee making device! I received it to use and review and am so glad I did. The unit arrived double boxed, well packaged with no damage and brand new. After unboxing, I set about setting up the espresso machine and learning how to operate it for maximum results. First I needed to buy some fresh dark roast beans. The Philips machine will automatically grind them as part of its coffee-making process. It will also use preground beans if you happen to have any provided they are spoon fed into the forward slot of the bean container (spoon scoop provided with the unit.) To start things off, you must turn on the machine then select one of the illuminated pictures of the various items the Philips 3300 is capable of making: coffee, espresso, iced coffee, hot water, cappuccino, or latte macciato. When making the cappuccino or latte macciato, milk should be placed in the frother before brewing begins. Use an appropriate sized glass or mug to receive the brewed/frothed contents. Once brewing is completed, the machine will send the grounds to a container inside and is ready for the next brewing event. The used grounds are accessed by removing the lower tray and pulling it out. It should be emptied periodically so it doesn't get completely filled. The water tank should also be refilled at the same time if needed. The water tank contains an Aqua Clean filter that removes limescale deposits and reduces the need for descaling. The machine will indicate when a new filter is needed. Simply remove the filter from the water tank and insert a new one when needed. The Philips 3300 Fully Automatic Espresso Machine with Frother has become my new go-to device for morning coffee, espresso and lattes. My wife loves it for its iced coffee abilities and macciatos. It now proudly awaits us on our kitchen counter and fits nicely under our cabinets. Without hesitation, I highly recommend the Philips 3300 Espresso machine to you!

The Philips 3300 fully automatic espresso machine with LatteGo is a tool to help you be your own Barista without spending $8 for your morning coffee. The machine comes nicely packaged with all the parts tucked neatly throughout the packaging. The 3300 does require some initial steps that are crucial for proper functionality. As exciting as it seems you should read the manual to get familiar with the machine. The water tank comes with a water filter that does require some setup which is fairly easy to do. You must also set the water hardness level by testing your water hardness using the included test strip. The machine is set to hard water by default so you can make the necessary adjustments after testing your water. I love how the frother does not have any tubes to clean because that becomes such a pain after each use. Once you are done using your choice of milk you simply rise out the frother and you are good to go. The machine features a beautiful touchscreen color display that allows you to choose your choice of drink as well as customize each drink. The machine allows you to make a regular coffee, espresso, latte, cappuccino, macchiato, iced coffee or simply dispense hot water. The machine features ceramic grinding wheels which can be adjusted to adjust the coffee to your liking, however it is highly recommended to leave the machine at its default setting for the first month. I noticed that my first few cups of coffee out of the machine were mediocre so it does take some time to get the machine dialed in. There is also regular maintenance that is required on the machine which allows you to keep the machine running optimally for years to come. As long as you do the suggested maintenance on the machine you can ensure barista quality drinks at home for years to come

I upgraded from the 3200 which only has the steamer wand. Definitely a MAJOR improvement!!! I was never able to get the milk to froth. With the 3300, the machine takes care of it for you. Otherwise, it's more a matter of what kind of coffee you like. The 3200 has a setting for an Americano which is my preferred coffee drink, while that doesn't exist on the 3300. The 3300 is definitely skewed toward the cappuccino or latte. You can still make an americano, but it will be a matter of brewing the espresso first, then adding the hot water after. It's fine, you can do it, but it's not quite as easy. With the 3200, it lasted for about 4 years before starting to have issues with leaking. It's now been about 5 years, and it still works, it just requires a bit more attention. At full retail price of $800, this machine will pay for itself in about 6 or 7 months if you stop going to a coffee shop every day, so I'd say it's definitely worth it over time. If you can spring for one of these and stop going to a big-chain coffee place, go for it!

Simple and reliable, makes me coffee and tea daily, and occasionally a latte. It's a great addition to my kitchen.

Great machine Makes a nice coffee Just hope the durability is there

Wonderful product, easy to use and saves counter space.

This is the second machine we have purchased. First one lasted about 2 years. Tried to get it fixed, but repair process is hard to navigate. Still bought another though

Within four months after expiration of two-year warranty, zero brew was produced through spout. In reliance on Philips customer support, I spent considerably time and money trying to fix. Now quality of brew varies greatly, quantity of brew ranges from almost none to slightly less than normal, and bean usage is significantly increased. Philips customer service is extremely poor.
