Great review, so very informative

Some how Amazon in the US had 4 of the 4300 for $750 which I though was a great deal. I did not find the grinding, brewing or frothing process extremely loud. Seems louder where you are filming from. Still breaking in the machine and tweaking the different drinks. But definitely easier and less time consuming than a separate grinder and espresso machine set up! Thnx for the review of the different machines.

We've used a 4300 Latte Go for several months now, and overall, it's awesome. Noisy? Like most machines, a little loud. Great way to wake up my wife - the smell of freshly ground coffee is just the clincher! Philips recommended strongly. (Latte Go essential!)

Would be buying this machine mainly for coffee, espresso, cappuccino and latte. Can you tell me what the different drink volume options are for the coffee?

PSA: i have the 3200 if you want to make it super quiet drape a down (puffy) coat over it. It cuts down the sound by 70%. Pro tip for a sneaky and quiet am coffee. 💡

Is there a major difference between the LatteGo system from the 3200 to the Upper Levels in the Philips series?

great video!

I liked this comparison of the two 4300's. May I suggest you have a program comparing the 4300 Latte Go to the competition around $1k such as Miele, Jura, Gaggia, etc. I am shopping for a machine right now and head to head comparisons would really help.

What are the options for milk level with the LatteGo?

On the 3200 and 4300 models, what is the highest temperature that brews the coffee and milk ? Thank you for your reply.

Thanks for the review. Considering the 4300 Latte Go and the DeLonghi Magnifa Evo. Cannot find or figure out the largest cup of regular coffee you can make with the 4300? Is it 8oz or less or more? Thanks

I agree with her; that milk container sits in a flimsy way as well as the plastic water container being plastic I have to say but overall it does the job!

Can you use anything besides milk in the milk frother? For example, can you use flavored creamer instead?

Thanks for the review. The 4300 is looking favourite, if I can track one down in the UK. All these semi-auto machines seem do a latte macchiato by default. Is there a way to make a latte on the 4300 and lose the foam for this tipple or is it a case of using that that well known kitchen implement, the spoon!?

How would you compare with Delonghi magnifica ECAM 22110SB? Thanks a lot in advance.

I just bought the 4300 and I am noticing when I froth milk it does not dispense the amount of oz that I select. For example, I put 4 oz of milk in the Lattego and selected the 3.7oz milk froth, when it was done, I still had a substantial amount of milk left in the lattego. Or I put in 8 oz and then select the 8 oz milk froth and I still had half of the lattego full of milk. Is this normal?

Hi there are you able to tell me which level should I grind my ground coffee for me use in the machine.

Is there a difference in the grinding/brewing noise level between the 3200 and 4300?

I'm hoping you can answer any or all of these 3 questions: 1. While most reviewers of the 3200 series with Latte Go had very positive things to say about it, a few reviewers had negative comments about the quality of the foam, noting that it was somewhat thin. I'm wondering if you had the same opinion of the 3200 in this regard, and if so, do you think that the 4300 Latte Go series solves this problem? 2. In another review of the 4300/5400 series, a reviewer stated as follows: "the developers have reduced the temperature of the whipped milk to just over 60°C. As a result, the temperature of the finished cappuccino in the cup is about 65°C, which corresponds to the classic recipe." Given that I am someone who likes very hot cappuccino, this concerned me and made me think that I should perhaps stick with the 3200 series, given the hotter temperature. What did you think about the temperature of the foam? 3. Finally, if I'm only interested in cappuccino and not any of the other drinks and if the ability to set user profiles is not important to me, is there any reason not to buy the 3200 Latte Go? Does the 4300 Latte Go series offer any distinct improvements over the 3200 Latte Go series, making it worth the higher price and the remaining wait time? Thanks so much for your help!

Thank you for this review! This is on my short list to purchase. How would you say it compares to the higher priced Saeco, Jura, and also comparable Gaggia machines? Also, how do the espresso shots taste? Would you say they compare to coffee houses that use those multi thousand dollar espresso machines?

I have 2 questions. First is it okay to put heavy cream in the latte go? Second what kind of coffee beans should I be looking at? Please keep in mind I've never has an espresso machine before and know nothing about them. Thank you

Dumb question but is it possible to switch the classic milk frother with the LatteGo carafe on the Philips 4300? I’ve been reading the reviews and it seems the classic gives you better foam but the LatteGo is just so convenient.

Any function just for hot milk?

Temperature on low is plenty hot. Medium is really hot. I think high would produce burns.

What is the temperature like on the milk based drinks with the lattego versions? We had a mellita ts smart fully auto but returned it due to luke warm milk in the drinks. It was a shame because it was a really good machine other than that

Curious, why should you never use flavored coffee through the machine? If it’s because the oils going through the heating element could cause issues, I would think that the natural coffee oils could do the same.

Quick question, ive seen the 4300 at a price point of 352€ in Riga but 1200$ in Canada, why? Should I buy one here and bring it back even though they are working on 220v?

I need a system that separates decaf beans from regular beans. Does this exist? Using the separate part is a bit of a pain and requires pre-ground coffee, which defeats the purpose.

Can you adjust how much air is in the milk for different drinks with the LatteGo? Latte vs cappuccino, etc.

I don't see latte button in either machine, how do we make latte in this case?

I have a Jura E9. About 11 years old. Been overhauled twice by Jura. I just looked and I am up to 8,000 shots. My wife doesn't like it and has a hard time using it when I am out of town. This seems a pretty good alternative with one-touch latte's. Having used a Jura for years, is this Phillips/Saeco machine going to be "good enough"?

If I already use brita filtered water, am I forced to use the redundant filter in the machine?

When is it coming out and what will be the price?

I wonder if you could get a custom glass water tank? I am trying to remove plastic from my life where I can

Are there any of these machines where the heating parts are not made of plastic ??

I wish they would make a model with a real steam wond and not a pannarello.

When do they launch?

Nais video

Nice review thanks! Not relevant but you guys are adorable.

Looks like the 4300 won't do a double shot in a milk based drink - I see the double setting for espreso, but once you did the cappuccino it didn't have the double shot option like the 5400.

The only model I'm interested in is standing in between the machines

What the difference between the 4300 and the 5200 series? Also i read that the milk was not as hot as the 3400 series, is that true?

For me the DeLonghi Magnifica has the better quality of the Machine..

I am still struggling to get stronger coffee despite increasing strength icon, water hardness and adjusting grind to 1 ( fine grind). Any recommendations?

It’s really not loud at all.

Saw your review of the 5300 Lattego - does this 4300 have the add-a-shot feature? I’m coming from a cuisinart grind-and-brew drip coffee maker. It’s safe to say that either the Philips lattego or Jura D6 is going to provide me a better cup of coffee. Right? And now, the last question. Knowing from where I’m coming, do you recommend the Lattego or the D6? Thanks!

Its ok to put ground flavored coffee in the machine, right? Its the flavored whole beans that are oily thats the problem?

Since he sells them, his not exactly un-biased...

Why never any flavored coffee? What's the temp of the hot water? Needs to be at least 70 degrees to be useful

No one talks about the taste of the espresso that this machine produces😒Is it good? Is the taste as good as semi pro machines espresso?

How difficult is it to clean the grinder part of the machine?

Does the 4300 lattego model have an “extra shot” feature like the 5400? Thanks!

Why would you make us sit through all the verbiage in realtime but then fast forward through the actual shot extraction? Short of being able to taste the result a look at the actual extraction with a closeup in realtime - was that 10 sec, 30 sec, 50 sec? - is the only other way to judge the quality of the shot.

I don’t understand why people are so worried about the sound lol

Those are really fast shots. Anyway to dial them in? This may not be the machine for me.

The 4300 is a huge disappointment - coffee is like light brown water, almost zero crema. In addition to that, ZERO support. My 10 years old Saeco Incanto Deluxe made 1000 times better coffee.

can i have a latte with her...

@ECS COFFEE Espresso & Coffee Gear Thanks for responding! I am still interested in getting the Phillips 4300. Do you think that it's a good value option or do you suggest upgrading to the 5400 or something else?
