Overview
The Philips 3200 is a bean-to-cup machine: it grinds, doses, brews and froths automatically. You choose a drink on the panel and it handles the rest.
The LatteGo milk system is two parts with no tubes, so cleaning is a quick rinse. That is a common pain point with other automatic machines.
Who should skip it
You enjoy the craft of dialling in shots, or you want the very best straight espresso for the money.
What else you will need
- Whole-bean coffee (avoid very oily dark roasts in automatic grinders)
- A water filter compatible with the machine
- Descaling solution
