Philips models we've reviewed
78/100Philips 3200 Series LatteGo
The tubeless-carafe automatic
Not in our rankings
A bean-to-cup machine that asks for very little cleaning and makes creamy espresso at a button press. The milk foam is the gamble: fluffy in some kitchens, close to plain hot milk in others.
70/100Philips 5400 Series LatteGo
The profile-saving latte automatic
Not in our rankings
An easy one-button automatic for a household of milk-drink fans, with a milk container that washes in seconds. Know before buying that its espresso and americano come out weak to some palates.
