Philips 3200 Series vs 2200 Series: What's the Difference? Still, that doesn’t make the Philips 3200 LatteGo a bad choice. Even better at delivering value for money, I think, is my top pick in this category, the DeLonghi. I think so, too, which is why I have to say that $799.95 on Amazon is a totally reasonable price tag. Sounds like a pretty ideal package, doesn’t it? And that’s about the extent of the fiddling required.
Though as a rather roundabout solution, if you remove the LatteGo System, you can even draw hot water. You can adjust all the key parameters using the corresponding three-step scale icons, as well. You can select from five preset coffee options: I’m a big fan of clear, front-panel indicators of this kind - as long as there are no issues with the main functions - though that’s certainly not the case here. Plus, depending on the function, these are supplemented with a three-step illuminated scale icon. The controls and menu navigation are also easy to use - there’s no display, only touch buttons. That’s because the automatic system doesn’t have any tubes of its own and consists of just two easily cleaned parts. Philips LatteGo Milk Frothing SystemĪlthough the Philips 3200 didn’t include “LatteGo” in its name in the United States until recently, it still features the same type of milk system as the Philips 5000 LatteGo series, which is why this system was touted as hot stuff at IFA 2018. But the ceramic flat burrs currently enjoy a better reputation and features on much more expensive super-automatic espresso machines. On the one hand, I don’t want to spark any new hostilities between the flat and conical burr camps and the ceramic versus steel camps. In fact, the current leader in this category, the DeLonghi Dinamica, “only” has the brand’s standard stainless steel conical burr grinder. What’s more, the ceramic flat burr grinder with 12 grind sizes definitely sets the Philips 3200 LatteGo apart from other machines - at least at this price point. And the main components are just as impressive. Then again, that’s probably because the stainless steel style plastic casing not only looks high quality but is so, surprisingly. There’s barely a whiff when unboxing it and even during the first hours of operation there’s no “new car smell.” CategoryĬoffee drinks prepared at the touch of a buttonĮspresso, Hot Water, Cappuccino, Coffee, Milk Foam, Latte Macchiato, Café au Lait, Americano Since I’ve had appliances with a plasticky smell get up my nose a lot lately, the Philips EP3241/54 is a pleasant surprise.
