Philips Espresso Machines
Become a barista at home with a Philips Coffee Maker
Philips makes a wide range of coffee machines, including espresso machines that will help you make a cup at home that rivals your local coffee shop.
What features make Philips coffee machines stand out?
Philips espresso machines have compelling features that make them stand out among the rest. At the heart is the LatteGo milk frother that comes with most of the machines. It adds air to milk or milk alternative products at high speed in its round frothing chamber. Once done frothing, pour a creamy layer of milk at the perfect temperature into your coffee-based drink.
The machines have built-in ceramic grinders with various coffee grinder options for creating coffee grounds at the perfect size and texture for your preference, from ultra-fine to coarse. An Aroma Extract feature maintains a water temperature of 90-98°C and helps regulate water flow; while the My Coffee Choice feature in many machines makes it easy to adjust the aroma strength and quality for every cup.
Boasting sleek designs that would look great on any kitchen countertop, Philips espresso machines are a coffee lover’s dream.
What types of Philips coffee machines are available?
Philips espresso machines boast different specialized functions and preset buttons for making everything from a piping hot cup of coffee to a cappuccino, latte, macchiato, and other specialty drink. As automatic machines, it’s typically a single button press. Then, let the machine do the work, delivering a perfect cup every time.
They feature various coffee brewing methods along with built-in grinders so you can use fresh coffee beans. With intuitive touch displays, you can even adjust the coffee aroma strength and quality. Easy cleaning technology, meanwhile, makes maintenance a breeze.
The Philips 5400 automatic espresso machine is a top-line option with 1,500W of power and all the bells and whistles, including the LatteGo milk frother, along with four user settings so each member of the household can get their perfect brew. It has a dozen preset drink options, including an extra shot function, so you can make every coffee-based drink under the sun. The aroma seal keeps coffee bean types consistently fresh until you’re ready to brew your next cup. If there are multiple coffee drinkers in the family with discerning tastes, this is the machine for you. For the same 1,500W power without as many options, the Philips 4300 can make eight beverages, like espresso, coffee, cappuccino, and latte macchiato, and store up to two user profiles.
For less demanding coffee needs, the Philips 2200 offers the same 1,500W power and LatteGo milk frother along with three common coffee varieties (espresso, coffee, and cappuccino), making it ideal for those who stick to these three. The Philips 3200 LatteGo, meanwhile, adds a fourth option for Americano. It’s slightly less powerful at 1,350W and can be purchased with a classic milk frother or the LatteGo option.
Why Philips espresso machines are so easy to clean
It’s important to keep a coffee or espresso machine clean, and that typically includes descaling it at least twice a year. With the AquaClean filter, you can make up to 5,000 cups before a Philips espresso machine requires descaling. Even if you have two people at home making two cups per day, you could still get away with descaling once per year, or even every two years.
Once ready to descale, fill the water reservoir with a specialized cleaning solution or a mix of vinegar and water and run the machine through a clean cycle. Rinse, run a few cycles, let it dry, and it’s ready to go again.
Other parts require cleaning, too. Most Philips machines have top-rack dishwasher-safe removable parts that can be washed periodically. Meanwhile, the LatteGo frother is designed to be cleaned in just 15 seconds thanks to only two components and no tubes. It’s easy to keep Philips espresso machines running like new for years to come.
