Philips Barista Brew Semi-Automatic Espresso Machine with Frother, 280gr Dual Bean Container

I had great hopes for this espresso machine just stand up to you less expensive espresso machine

Our brand new machine came flawed. The steam and hot water knob are switched, so when you move the switch to steam, hot water comes out and when you move it to hot water, steam comes out. We are very disappointed in this machine.

Received as a gift Christmas 2024, in less than 4 months, stopped working. Reviewed manual and videos but didn’t help. Won’t grind, won’t heat, cannot hear pump coming on. Contacting customer support today over the phone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Such a great addition to my coffee bar! I love this thing - it makes delicious espresso and lattes! It's easy and fun to operate. I would have bought it sooner if only I knew how awesome it would be!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So having never used a machine like this it took some practice and maybe a YouTube video BUT after I was able to brew a nice cup in the morning. It's not entirely bulky and sturdy so it's built to last year's. The steamer is also a nice touch making it all in one. Very easy to keep clean as well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall I really enjoyed this espresso machine! It was really easy to set up and clean, and there wasn’t too much of a learning curve when it came to properly using it. My only complaint would be that it is difficult to throw away used grounds from the port-a-filter. It isn’t a smooth process and had proven to be a bit cumbersome. Happy with this product overall and would recommend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a fantastic coffee machine that produces delicious coffee. It took me a while to get to grips with how to use it and anyone considering buying it should be prepared to have to learn in order to be able to use it. There are lots of innovative and clever functions and I’ve been so impressed with what this coffee machine can do. It’s super versatile and you can make loads of different types of coffee with it. It’s easy to clean and also looks fantastic in our kitchen! It is an expensive bit of kit but highly worth it if you’re into your coffee!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Philips Barista Brew Automatic Espresso Machine is really nice! This machine was so easy to set up with clear and easy to follow instructions on how to set it up and clean it for every day use. I have been able to make coffee shop level creations quick and effortlessly from the comfort of my own home saving me not only time but money and saving me frustration of long lines and traffic. This machine is easy to maintain and very easy to keep clean. It is very modern looking with very nice coloration. Very durable and made with very strong and long lasting materials. I would highly recommend!

Spent around 18 months researching bean to cup coffee machines. Decided on this one as beautiful looking, compact size, reviews all so good, good price on sale too. Wow! Awesome coffee and easy to use and set up, we love it! Highly recommend it.

I have been using this machine everyday for around 6 weeks now and i'm absolutely loving it. The attention to detail with the build is really nice. Everything feels high quality and i especially love the dosing filter that clicks into place and the calibrated tamp. The grinder does make a bit of mess with some beans due to static but overall, it grinds fine enough unlike a lot of other options on the market.
