PHILIPS Kitchen Appliances 4300 Fully Automatic Espresso Machine with LatteGo, CR, EP4347/94, one size (Renewed)

Came back from Iceland in Sep 2024 and fell in love with the fully automatic coffee makers in the hotels there. My traditional drip coffee maker just couldn't cut it anymore.Did a lot of research on many models in a wide range of price points. The Phillips models kept coming up well reviewed. I wanted one with an integrated water filtration system to help improve the taste.I found the 4300 Latte GO as a refurbished unit here sold by Seattle Coffee Gear for about $450. It was almost half the original price. It was shipped in decent packaging and came with a 60 day return guarantee. There were no damages or blemishes. I was able to see from the counter in the device settings that the previous owner had only made about 20 drinks before returning it. I would definitely buy from Seattle Coffee Gear again.Setup was easy. The machine guides you through the steps from the touchscreen. "Fully automatic" is no joke. The screen tells you everything.It is easy to operate and has profiles for up to three differnet users to store the recipes as you tweak the settings on each type of drink to suit individual tastes.I like the Cafe Creama option as my daily go to. Not as stong as espresso, but has a lot more flavor than the Americano. The generic "Coffee" setting is not good. It makes a watery, bland cup of coffee. As others have pointed out on this same subject, this is an espresso maker, not a drip coffee maker.The Latte GO frother works amazing. It's ridiculously simple and does the job perfectly. Just keep the cup clean so that milk doesn't dry and clog the thin channels that make the froth. I don't use this as much as I originally though I would, but I still think it's a nice accessory.I bought clear glass coffee cups from IKEA because the coffee looks so good in them.In my research I saw many comments about the devices "leaking" water. I have not experienced anything like this. The drip tray is ample sized and does collect water faster than I was initially expecting. This is because the device cleans itself at startup but also cleans between drinks, which I did not realize.The device will remind you to periodically empty the grounds container and drip tray. After almost three months of use, I just did my first full cleaning cycle. The device guides you through the process. Piece of cake.I also read negative comments about noise level. I am indifferent on this. It does make noise, but it's also grinding beans and pumping water. Yes, it's noisier than a drip coffee maker but I don't find it excessively noisy.

I received my order VERY well packaged. I don't think I’ve ever had a package so well protected. It was easy to put together and figure out. I did notice the water receptacle was broken, a small chunk was broken off of a corner. I reached out to the seller and they immediately offered a refund or to exchange the machine. I told them I really just wanted a new receptacle and they sent it right out. I asked about the water testing strips that usually come with a new machine and they said they didn’t include them usually but due to the inconvenience with the water receptacle, they issued a $10 refund so I could purchase the strips myself. Great service and I would definitely buy from them again. As far as the espresso maker itself, it works great, makes great coffees approved by my Starbucks loving teenage daughters. The milk receptacle is amazing, it automatically steams and foams the correct amount based on the drink you selected, and puts the milk in your cup for you. Best of all the milk system is super easy to clean and that was a fear I had not wanting spoiled milk in my machine or a complicated cleaning process. This is a great machine.

One of the greatest products I have ever purchased. Very easy to use and, most importantly, extremely easy to clean and maintain. Some of the best coffee I have made at home. Milk system is nothing short of genius. Coffee varieties are at least on par with most coffee shops in quality and taste of coffee. Machine paid for itself in 1 month due to family using the machine instead of going to caribou/Starbucks.

Well Worth It. I studied and wanted one of these machines for a long time but never did make the purchase. Finally - I did it 6 months ago. Why did I wait so long! Love my machine - I have stopped going to coffee shops and make it at home for a fraction of the cost. This machine paid for itself within 3 months. Everything tastes great - easy to use - and easy to clean. The 4300 - has earned their 5 Stars from me. Thanks!

Ordered this "refurbished" product, as it stated it was fully renewed. I assumed it meant that they tested all the functions on this multi function machine.Sadly it was not, which I noticed within 3 days, but tried to be patient to see if it would "work it out."Machine did not produce the selected amount of product (example: if I selected a drink that was about 10oz., I would only get about 5oz.)I called and worked with Techs who basically confirmed the machine was not functioning. The positive is that the vendor was willing to have it returned and refund me.Bottom line: disappointment. If you are offering "refurbished machines - make sure they work!

Good interface, large number of coffee options. store My coffee custom option, good foam good looking machines.On flip side take longer time than Delonghi to make a cappuccino, finish feels for fragile / plastic, coffee not hot enough even at high temperature and most annoying discharges some water to tray when cleaning instead of 100% to cleaning mug.

The initial certified refurbished product had a leak defect. The company facilitated an easy and rapid exchange for a replacement unit that works wonderfully. This is one of top 5 companies I have purchased from in the past 20+ years.

Family loves the choice of drinks and ease of use. Has more choices than I realized, e.g., crema and ristretto options too.Need to experiment to get the flavor profile you like. Milk and non dairy milk steaming is very good.While it's not the same as a $1500 dedicated espresso machine such as a Ranchillo or Rocket, it's a very decent cup and very easy. I enjoy not having to do all the fiddling on a weekday morning.Maintenance cleaning, etc is a must, but Phillips made it as easy as can be.Definitely happy and would buy again, especially at the refurbished price. Shipped from a 1st tier supplier too.
