Philips 3300 Series Fully Automatic Espresso Machine with LatteGo Milk Frother

I love this machine. My only issue is that it is very loud.

Purchased the Phillips 3300 three months ago but not 100% happy because the frost that the latte go makes is not a real coffee froth plus the coffee is not hot enough and my machine doesn’t make a flat white!!! The only option I use is the latte option because there is no button for flat white. Plus, it only makes a small cup of coffee, not a large Mug like I prefer! I still have to go out to my local coffee shop to get a real decent latte that is hot enough for me !!!!!!!!! I don’t recommend buying this model !!!!

Loved our Philips 1200 espresso machine so much we went with the 3300 series. Machine is so quiet and enjoying the Iced Coffee, Cappucino and Latte options. I like that Philips has kept what works over the years so weekly and monthly maintenance is very straight forward.

I like it and have changed some habits. It is very different from a regular machine.

The one star is not for the product itself. The one star is for the fact that Macy’s sent me a used machine! I received my Phillips 3300, unpacked it and set it up on my kitchen counter. Pulled out the water reservoir and noticed some moisture, but didn’t think much about it. Took out the water filter module and according to directions, I shook it up and down for a few seconds and water flew out of it. That’s when I thought it was strange. I looked in the bean hopper and there were coffee beans particles in it. Obviously, this machine was used and returned for some reason. So I repacked it and returned it to Macy’s. If someone was unhappy with it, I certainly wasn’t going to keep it. Unbelievable.

This is not an espresso machine. This is a coffee maker with a very poor espresso attachment. It's using too much water during the cleaning process, every time you turn on the machine. The machine turns off very often if you are not using it. The bean hopper was designed improperly. You have to manually push the beans into the grinding part. If you missed that, you will drink hot water instead of coffee. The only good thing is that this machine is self-cleaning, so there is no mess around the machine.

The machine performs well overall and operates with a relatively low noise level when grinding coffee, which makes daily use more pleasant. It is also easy to clean, and the general workflow is straightforward. There are, however, a few areas where performance could be improved. Milk‑based drinks such as lattes and cappuccinos consistently come out lukewarm rather than hot. I have tried adjusting the temperature settings multiple times, but these changes do not seem to affect the final drink temperature. The brewed coffee itself is somewhat hotter than lukewarm, but still not as hot as expected for optimal enjoyment. Additionally, the brewed coffee occasionally shows incomplete extraction. The coffee puck often remains humid instead of forming a dry, compact mat, which suggests that the machine may not be fully extracting the grounds in certain cases. Overall, the machine has a solid foundation, but improvements to drink temperature consistency and coffee extraction would significantly enhance the user experience.

I love, love , love my espresso machine. Sadly after 2 years I had to replace it. Hopefully I can take to a repair shop to fix it. I replaced it before I tried to repair it because I didn’t want go so long without it.

The Philips 3300 is easy to use, makes delicious Latte, wonderful coffee, and great cappaccino or espresso. There are several options to suit your taste at the press a a button or two. And, the machine is so easy to clean. What's not to like?

We love this unit! We replaced an older unit that needs o-rings replaced and will be put to use elsewhere. We love the quality of the machine, ease of cleaning and maintaining it, and the coffees that we get to enjoy!
