[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!

I’m sold!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow, I’m completely blown away with this espresso machine. I’ve used many different espresso machines over the years, and this one stands out to me for many reasons, especially the ease of use. I love the sleek look of this espresso machine as well, I opted for The brown color, which looks amazing in my stainless steel kitchen. It stands out perfectly and does not clash with stainless steel appliances which I was pleasantly surprised with. In terms of using this espresso machine, I set everything up, rinsed out the water reservoir, and filled the bean hopper with fresh beans. From there, I opted to grind my beans on a finer level to start out with. One of the most important parts of making espresso is Dosing everything correctly to the right ratios. Typically, for a double shot of espresso you will want 18 g of ground coffee loaded into the Porter filter and tempt down. From there you will pull a shot which will hopefully range from 34 to 36 g of espresso. This is the absolute perfect ratio and I actually got this ratio by chance the second time using this machine. I did opt for a finer grind which I found worked best for me and the coffee that I was using. I started out on grind one and worked my way back to grind too to fine-tune it. But it will be different for everyone depending on the coffee that’s used. After pulling my espresso shot then I went to steam my milk, which was a very easy process. The milk steamer is super convenient because you do not need a digital thermometer, it tells you the temperature right on the steamer itself. Once I had steamed milk and my espresso shot, I combined the two to make this beautiful and delicious latte at home.

Quality home brewing! I feel like a barista

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Philips Barista Brew offers an elevated home coffee experience! I enjoyed making rich, flavorful espresso drinks and love the sleek design. It’s a solid choice for anyone looking to enjoy café-style beverages without leaving the kitchen.
The included accessories, like the milk frother and cleaning tools, add value and enhance the brewing process. While the machine delivers excellent results, it does take a little time to get fully comfortable with its operation. Overall, a great option for coffee lovers seeking convenience and quality. I feel like a barista!

Excellent and convenient !

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is so easy and takes out so much of the guesswork that professional machines require. The heating water to brew feature is on the longer side, but produces a smooth brew. It’s made of mostly stainless steel and holds up well to ceramic cups: I would like to see a longer steamers, though!

The best Espresso at the push of a button
on December 9, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is probably the best and fanciest espresso machine on the market. From grinding your own beans fresh to frothing fresh milk - this is probably the tastiest cup of espresso I’ve ever had. My favorite part is it also makes americanos - and lattes will never be easier. The instructions were super simple to follow and set up took less than 5 minutes. And can we talk about the packaging ?! This machine and accessories were packed away nicely and super organized- I give this machine 10/10.

Perfect cup of espresso.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow. This machine consistently produces top quality espresso. Once you understand how it works, it is very easy to use. It features a really nice, streamlined design and looks so nice in our kitchen. Cleaning it is a breeze and the espresso it produces is so good! I love how many settings there are to tailor the grind size of the machine - it allows me to make my espresso stronger or weaker. The only drawback to the machine was the instructions on how to set it up. The instruction manual came with another manual showing different illustrations that were supposed to correspond with the written directions. They didn’t really match up at all, but in the end I was able to figure everything out. Lastly, this machine came with just about everything you would need to start brewing. There are several filter sizes to choose from and a really nice, heavy tamper. I would highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a quality piece of equipment.
