During my review of the Philips 3200 LatteGo , I was left feeling like there isn’t a whole lot to make this machine stand out from the crowd. Still, it’s a solid, no-frills super automatic that won’t break the bank.Read R
The Latte Go system has no tubes. It's a two-part chamber that snaps together, creates incredibly silky microfoam, and here's the best part, you can clean it under the tap in just 15 seconds. It's literally the easiest milk system to maintain on the market.Watch H

This is the Philips 3200 series espresso machine with silent brew technology, and it's hands down one of the best coffee upgrades I've made this year. It looks premium, fits perfectly on your kitchen counter, and has a sleek touch interface that's super intuitive. But the real magic, it's how quiet it is. Thanks to Silent Brew, it delivers full aroma and crema without the usual noise.Watch

I've had a 3200 for a year now and it's been good. I ended up buying a stand alone milk frother though. The one on the 3200 is too small. To make a latte the way I like I'd have to steam the milk twice in the 3200. Why is the milk container so big when it only steams small amounts at a time? The milk steamer is my only complaint.Read thread C
However, the Philips suffers from basic button interface (no color display), lightweight budget plastic construction (versus Gaggia's more substantial feel), no user profiles (just basic saved settings), and limited drink variety .Read H

And if you're anything like me, you're disappointed in how weak the coffee and how weak the espresso is. It might even be the case that you're not getting real pucks out of it like this. Maybe you're just getting sludge instead.Watch S r/superautomatic u/scarchelli · owner
Delonghi is way better than Phillips. I took my latte go back after two break downs and going to battle with Phillips! Terrible customer service!Read thread
