PHILIPSSeries 3300 Fully Automatic Espresso Coffee Machine - 6 Hot & Iced Drinks, LatteGo Milk System, 40% Quieter SilentBrew, Ceramic Grinder, Aquaclean Filter, Glossy Black (EP3341/50)

Was put off by some of the negitive reviews but happy I bought it. Home run. Espresso tastes great, the design is very good, easy to operate. Super silent.I've had two previous Saeco's over the past 15 years. This are now owned by Philips. Philips borrowed much of the internal design from Saeco. One of the reasons I went with Philips is that being it was similar internally, maintenance would be easier for me. Also, I had few issues with my Saeco machines, so figured why not given other top brands have about the same ratings.What you'll notice is this machine has the same internal brew system as my old Saeco from 8 years ago. But they changed about everything else ...for the better. Drop trey no longer has any wires in it, or se sort, no faulty false sensor events. Also the water is now just a pull out drawer. No more top loading or filling. Easy slick. Love it.I was resistant to get the carafe. After my fordt Saeco that was fully automatic, and every expensive, started to give me problems after a few years, all those issues were with the brother, carafe, pump systems related to it. I wanted to pair down the range of internal components that could go wrong. Well the Latte Go doesn't really have any additional internal components for this just the carafe using the built in brother pump (smae internals without the Go carafe) so I did it.The machine is super quiet. Espresso comes out HOT (big improvement from last generation). It's also very good. I don't know why people say it comes out watery. My first cup sort of did but then I adjusted the grind and the amount of water used per pull and BAM. Spot on. Maybe the very few negitive reviews just haven't found their sweet spot..and i like mine as strong as it gets...still it's smooth, strong, not harsh.Here is one negitive thing but also a silver lining. The Latte Go carafe broke on first attempted use. So much for that "fewer things to break" theory. The carafe is a genius concept but the carafe design itself is perhaps some of the worst design execution I've seen. Has a frame where you insert the container, the container has a hole at the bottom and will leak unless you clip the container into the frame just right. The hole at the bottom is suppressed by pressure. There is no functional reason to have a hole at the bottom, none. Anyhow, the plastic clip broke right off when slotting it in.I called philips support. Zero wait time, zero hassle, they were super nice and sending me a new one. I'm really hesitant about the carafe design or if it will hold up fkr a week nevermind years. However at least it's external and support appears to be stellar if it does.

DO NOT RECOMMEND UPDATED 12/18/24After 3 months it was leaking water where the power cord came one of the unit in the back.Phillips said to send it back and they would fix it. I requested a new unit, in advance so that I would have a coffee machine, but they refused. Returned to Amazon, who deducted $160 to restock. :(Bought a Delonghi, which cost more, but is a much better machine in MANY ways: Starts up right away, better interface, coffee tastes better. Made in china, but what can you do?Orginal review in July 24 and I take it all back.GREAT TASTING COFFEE AND Simply put, I love this expresso maker. Sure, it is expensive, but actually a good value compared to other machines on the market. I read a couple of negative reviews, which is non-sense. It is easy to use, but yah there is a learning curve, but so what, I called support and they walked me though all that I needed to know. I also read it leaks-- mine does not leak and if you get one that leaks, then return it and get another one that does not leak--it has a 2 year warranty. Lastly, it is designed in Italy and NOT made in China, which was a selling point for me as most of these machines are made in China. I wish it was made in USA, but what are you going to do?

We are so enjoying our coffee machine that I got as a present for Christmas. I had a very expensive machine before and did not want to fork out the money.This machine does exactly what my older machine did if not better and a fraction of the cost.Easy to steam milk and lots of options for different drinks. We all have different preferences so choosing can be personal.Easy to clean and not as high maintenance as my older machine. This machine also doesn't take up as much space either. My coffee mornings are wonderful again as this machine has contributed to the experience.Waited to so the review to see how well this machine functions. We did our research before buying and we are very pleased. We are coffee drinkers and use it every day........

Overall, this is a great espresso machine! It’s super easy to use, and the LatteGo milk system makes creamy, frothy drinks with no hassle. The SilentBrew feature is a nice touch, making it quieter than other machines I’ve used. The ceramic grinder works well, and I love the variety of drink options, both hot and iced.The only downside is that it uses a lot more coffee beans compared to using pre-ground coffee with a filter, which can add up over time. That said, the quality of the drinks is excellent, and everything else functions smoothly. If you're looking for a user-friendly, fully automatic espresso machine with great features, this one is worth considering!
