Best Expresso Ever!
on October 23, 2024
Posted by: micahm34
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my Philips Barista Brew, I’m a big fan of the sleek design which allows me to fit it perfectly into my smaller kitchen. I also love the ability to customize so many things in the brewing process like the grinding settings and the manual frothing. Easily the best expresso I’ve ever had and now I have the ability to make it in my own home. Worth the buy!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The philips barista brew espresso machine is perfect to get your day going or that extra boost any time of day.
Set up was really easy to put everything together and get it ready for your first brew.
It does take a few shots to figure out what the correct grind number is for the perfect shots of espresso; depending on the type of coffee beans you use. But adjusting the grind was super simple with just a few clicks. The perfect grind was found.
Brewing the coffee was even simpler, just a press of a button, and you can have 1 or 2 shots of espresso. After getting all the grind and pour settings configured, the espresso shot came out perfectly. You can clearly see the 3 layers of a great espresso shot. Heart, body, and crema.
Cleaning the espresso machine is easy, just a simple flush of water to clean the drip head, wipe down the grinder, and rinse out the drip tray.
The house smells like fresh brewed espresso, and it is a coffee lovers' dream.
The steam wand beautiful creates frothy hot milk to add to your espresso or even if you just want a hot cup of milk for some hot chocolate. Aerate the milk longer for more foamy consistency and less for a creamy "wet" milk.
The stamper compacts the freshly ground coffee down to create that even distribution of water over the espresso for the perfect pour.
Being able to see the pressure range helps troubleshoot any issues with the shot.
The philips barista brew psa3218 is an amazing everyday espresso machine that creates that coffee shop feel in the comfort of home.

Delicious coffee and easy to use!
on November 6, 2024
Posted by: isabellaa166
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This espresso machine is gorgeous and fits most spaces well, it isn’t too big in my opinion. The packet with directions along with the ability to go on the brand’s YouTube channel and watch videos on set up were super helpful, especially for someone who’s never had an espresso machine before. The first cup of coffee I made was already way better than my single use coffee maker I typically use. I think that with more practice I could make some better things, but I will have to learn. There are options for single and double cup espresso as well as an Americano, so everything else you would have to do by hand. The steam wand was very loud, although that could be user error. The milk frother cup it comes with is super cool, as it changes color based on the temperate (picture included) Cleaning it after every use is recommended, and could become tedious as there are lots of parts, but for the product you get it could be worth it.
