Overview
A fully automatic bean to cup espresso machine from Philips that makes espresso, coffee and cappuccino at a touch, with a LatteGo milk system and a ceramic grinder built in.
The LatteGo system is the notable design choice here, it uses two parts instead of the looped tubing found on many built in frothers, which is what the easier to clean claim rests on. The AquaClean filter is meant to stretch the interval between full descaling to as long as about 5000 cups when replaced on schedule. Brew temperature is held between 90 and 98 degrees Celsius across its drink settings.
- Built in ceramic grinder with touch display drink selection
- LatteGo two piece milk system for easier cleanup
- Brew temperature held between 90 and 98 degrees Celsius
- AquaClean filter rated to defer descaling up to 5000 cups
Who it's for
Someone who wants espresso drinks made automatically from beans without a separate grinder or portafilter routine, and who will keep up with filter changes. Not for anyone who wants to control shot pressure and extraction manually.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- One touch operation for espresso, coffee and cappuccino
- Built in ceramic grinder, no separate grinder needed
- LatteGo frother has fewer parts to clean than tube based systems
- No manual control over grind size, dose or shot timing
- AquaClean filter needs regular replacement to hit the 5000 cup interval
Performance notes
The built in ceramic grinder and touch display select from three drink types without a separate grinder or scale. LatteGo's two piece design, rather than a tube system, is meant to make milk residue easier to rinse out between drinks. The AquaClean filter, when swapped on schedule, is rated to defer full descaling for up to about 5000 cups.
