Philips 5400 LatteGo Superautomatic Coffee Machine Review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 июн 2024
- The Philips Lattego 5400/4300 is one of the most popular bean to cup, superautomatic coffee machines on the market. In this video, I do a deep dive review of the product, making espresso and milk based drinks, like a ristretto, caffe crema, latte macchiato and cappuccino. We also inspect the brew group, and I give some tips on temperature setting, as well as what not to do with this machine. Let's see how this popular bean to cup coffee machine does!
Philips 5400 vs 4300. These machines are both nearly the same. The 5400 has 2 extra colored user profiles, and a few more automated drinks (caffe latte, flat white, lungo and caffe crema).

Thanks for watching, comments welcome! The Philips LatteGo models are ALL on great sales right now on Amazon: amzn.to/3sEgfu1 (affiliate link)
Really good video mate, thanks for taking the time to show us.
I can confidently say that I am having quite a lot of fun drinking coffee after applying your recommendations on coffee settings and setting up the grinder exclusively for my taste. Much appreciated!
Great to hear! Have fun with your machine!
Thank you! Excellent, thorough review, easy to understand the product and the experience.
Glad you enjoyed it! It's on sale right now at Amazon. Cheers!
Brilliant video, really useful as considering buying one of these, thank you
honestly
One of the best reviews
cheers for the vid Tom! ended up buying this , returned DeLonghi, and zero regrets , does better froth imo vs evo, and love the ease of use here
Thank you for the great review. I decided to buy this machine based on the different drink options. Hope to enjoy it.
Hope you enjoy it! Happy coffee drinking!
Thank you for the awesome review, the information was super helpful.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching and cheers!
Excellent in-depth video thank you
As a non-snobby coffee drinker the LatteGo machine has been awesome. Way better than spending $$$$ on cafes for just a good morning startup coffee
Heck yeah - great money savings! Easy to use, too.
@@TomsCoffeeCorner I agree a 1000%
Impressive thorough review, well done Tom!
Thank you kindly!
Thank you very much for helping me find the right machine for the small coffee shop I'm about to open.
Thank you for your unbiased opinion, it helped me a lot :)
Excited for this one!!
Great demo!
I just bought one of these and you explanation of the different coffee drinks is going to save me a lot of experimentation time. Before this I was using a Nespresso and I do prefer a stronger coffee. I subscribed and gave you a thumbs up.🙂
Thanks so much for the feedback! Have fun ;)
I appreciate your efforts thank you brother .
Cool Tom, thorough investigation
I was very interested in the machine, but the way the coffee look like and milk, u made me change my mind and find an alternative option. Thank alot of this in depth review
Check out the Dinamica Plus. Did a review on that one too. It's better.
I have had the 5400 for about 4 months now, and I love it! Regular coffee is excellent...so much better than the pod coffee makers. I like the LatteGo system because it is so easy to use and clean, and I have found that using 1 or 2 percent milk makes for a better froth than whole milk...go figure, but the Facebook groups I belong to for the Philips machines, seem to agree. Mine never asks me to add water until it is almost empty. I have also kept my grinder setting at the factory 6 and it works just fine for all straight coffees and milk-based drinks. Loved your review!
Thanks for posting your feedback, Cory! I will have to try some lower fat milk next time...anyway, one of my favorite features on this machine is the cool light they include, and the double shot. Cheers!
thanks for the Wonderfull explanation , amazing :)
Thank you for the review
Very helpful video. I got my machine yesterday and I was quite confused. I also was not happy with the taste but perhaps now that I understand the operation more, I can get a better taste. My gut reaction so far is that I bought the wrong type of machine.
If you're looking for genuine espresso, you'd need an espresso machine, rather than superautomatic coffee, but this can make passable drinks much easier. Jura is about as close as it comes to actual espresso in my opinion for superautos.
Great vid, would love some similar comparisons models and more pros and cons summary like sections on your vids
Great review; what do you think about the Phillips Saeco GranAroma range?
Would the results be similar to this 5400 series?
I got this machine a few months ago. I really like it. I tend to warm my cup before pouring.
The flap is for pre ground coffee and to put the coffee cleaning tablets. The machine is not cheap but you do use your own bean’s instead of pods which will save you money in the long run. I am happy with this purchase. 8/10
Thank you for sharing! Glad you like your machine - cheers!
Great video, thanks for sharing! I wish you made a review of a Magnifica XS. I cannot seem to get a great shot out of it.
Hi Peter, well I got to borrow this from a friend. But we have a Magnifica XS at work. Maybe I could borrow that at some point and make a video, too. Cheers!
Outstanding Review...Thank you!! I had a 3200 and the solenoid assembly went out after 4 years , so I just purchased the 5400. I am retired and love the convenience of this machine. Thanks again!!
Really great video.. thank you!
Glad it helped!
Interesting machine!
I have to say I got one of those like a month and a half ago. I got puck of coffee really watery when using it in the 12 or 6 settings for the grinder. I use it in the 1. Using it like that, an after several coffees (like 4) the pucks are now like little cookies. I will measure those to know approximately how many grams uses per shot. In general makes decent to good coffee. The ristretto, is the one I like more. The milk based ones, are good. The one thing I love the most, is that I have a clean area with good coffees and minimal effort. Also, it lets you play with the ratios and that is something that I appreciate. My wife and I have different tastes on coffee, so, the profiles are a nice feature. In general I would say I am happy with the machine.
Very nice, thanks for the feedback! I guess I should have tried it for longer on the "2" setting. Maybe the results would have gotten better. For me, increasing the temp to hot made the biggest difference. Cheers!
Every two clicks seems to be a noticeable difference. Definitely from where it was set upon delivery, we went down 4 steps I believe and it was a much more potent cup of coffee. I think you have to go through a couple shots to make sure you clean out the old coffee and get a good solid shot of the new Grind size
Excellent!!
I have had the 5400 for about 18 months. I had to return my first one after about 6 months as it was leaking from under the unit and flooding the work top. Retuned to Phillips and was sent back to me with the same issue as was not fixed. I retuned it to Currys as had there extended warranty. The issues I had with Currys i would never but any extended warranty. I have replaced the machine with the same model as I wanted a machine that did everything with out any fuss. Very happy with the machine but I would recommend warming the cups as I don’t find the coffee hot enough. I put a little water in the cup and microwave for 2. Mins for 2 cups. Overall I would definitely recommend very happy with the hassle free coffee. I do find it a little bit of a pain when cleaning.
I was planning to buy this machine from Curry's, so curious to know what problems you had with them and their extended warranty.
I really enjoyed your review of this machine, I'm curious which De'Longhi you have been using at work and how the milk foam compares to this machine. I'm not as experienced in espresso making as you, but I was impressed with the milk froth quality on the De'Longhi super automatic machines I have used.
The one we have at work does not have automatic milk frothing. To be honest though, I prefer manually steaming milk with a steam wand. The automatic frothing is simply not as good, on any machine.
Will you maybe do a video of the DeLonghi Eletta Explore in the near future? Or maybe even a comparison to this Philips? 🙂
Great video thanks! Have you done a comparison on the mid range super automatic machines? Be nice to know which one you'd buy.
I think they're basically all the same, at least from the same manufacturer. The more expensive ones just generally have more drink options. But the brew groups and milk frothing mechanisms are the same.
Great content as always. I was also considering a Gaggia Cardorna Prestige. However, I am leaning towards this Phillips model. Just curious, which Jura or Delonghi model would you recommend over the Lattego 5400?
Delonghi Dinamica Plus, for sure. Cheers!
Great review! I wondered about the difference in power input between the 3200 and the 5400 the specs say 230W vs 1500W. That must have some difference in speed of heating etc?
I think that's a mistake. It should be 230V and probably 1500 watts.
my favourite video
Thar was a great review :) Ty for the all details. As a Mara X and DF64 user, I am planning to buy one of these automated machine even this or Delinghi since its a bit tiring to dial with precion machines. I just wanna press the button and go. I do not drink milk based drinks so I wonder ur opnion about that in terms of espresso based drinks, which one woud u prefer , Delinghi or this one ? ty in advance :)
Delonghi.
Cheers so much great demonstration 😊
I will skip it ❤
You forgot about flat white :(
Buy anyway, that is a best review of the machine I've seen
Thanks
I have had this machine now for over 1 month. Key take aways for me.
1. The lower the number on grind, the finer the coffee.
2. The froth foam is way to much for my liking, use half and half or thicker milk and I guarantee the froth milk won't be as foamy if you prefer less foam
Overall, it's a good machine. Makes great tasting cappuccinos.
I am using whole milk .. the first few month, it was awesome with no much foam . but suddenly and still with same type of milk, it starts to do lots and lots of foam .. no idea what has gone wrong!
Looks pretty good to me. I'm not sure why you were changing all the volumes. I typically just do a latte with a double shot every morning. I have a Mr. Coffee Cafe Barista but if that machine annoys you, you can just send it to me. 😂
It looks like the video author @Tom's Coffee Corner is not aware of this, but If you separate LatteGo cup into two pieces you also open up one side of the small channel so you can easily clean it under the tap water ...
so good video, i need a good advise , is Delonghi better then Phillips , i need to buy one
Yes, Delonghi is better. Try the Magnifica Evo or Dinamica Plus.
Super one
hello everything is fine?
great video!
I realized that this model was released about 4 years ago.
Is it still worth buying it or would it be better to look for a more current machine?
Well, this model is still the current one. Cheers!
nice video Tom thanks for sharing good entry machine overall, hows the temp? thats the problem with philips and saeco mainly.Also are the pucks all hard or smashed?
For me, the pucks were a bit crumbly. But maybe I should have kept it at the setting of "2" for longer. Others have had good success, I hear. Temp is good, when set at high.
Thanks for the presentation. Where can I get one?
I have some links under the video. Otherwise check your local retailer. Cheers!
Great video thanks Tom! Helped me chose the coffee settings to start me off. I must add that our model in Australia looks a little bit different & best of all, the milk is definitely not foaming, its more micro foam but that could be my lactose free milk.
For a good foam, they recommend 2%. Not sure if the lactose makes a difference, but the fat content is important. Good microfoam on soymilk though; for vegan milks, it’s better if it’s “barista quality” if the quality of the foam is important.
Interesting that these include ceramic flat burrs
Can you set the bars of pressure though
Thanks for the video .. I just want to ask about the ground container I find mold every time I cleaned it can I know why?
Well, coffee is an organic material, and mold can easily start growing on it. It's better to empty the grounds container often.
Hi Tom. Great video. A true coffee connoisseur. What would be your recommendation between Philips Lattego 3300 vs DeLonghi Magnifica Evo?
Magnifica Evo, no doubt.
@@TomsCoffeeCorner Thanks, Tom. Will leave a comment after my first Cappuccino from DeLonghi Magnifica Evo 🤘🏽
I've just purchased this machine and cannot wait for delivery tomorrow! I have a quick question about refilling the water... How often should I replace it? Can the water in the jug be used again next day instead of refilling with clean? Can I use filtered water and keep it in the machine for 2 days? Safe to drink? I want ease of use, i only have a small family 😊
You can just fill it up with fresh water when needed. I'd suggest cleaning the tank periodically, as well as rinsing the brew group. Cheers!
Awesome review. One question. I’m seeing the 3200 has an iced coffee option. Does this model as well?
I think the USA models have the iced coffee option. So, the 5400 will have it, too.
@@TomsCoffeeCorner thank you kindly!
Not in the Netherlands with the 5400/3200 no iced option.
Yes, iced drinks seems to be quite the trend in America, but not so much in Europe...@@Ariesmonique
Is there an tutorial fore the profile setting?
Belisima cofi machina mi piace
Any idea what is different on the new 5500 just out of?
Thank you for the review but in your opinion what do you recommend for the best coffee machine made for MONWY that does it all.
I'm testing out the Dinamica Plus right now, which does quite a bit better than this one, in my opinion.
I will be waiting for your review I don't mind spending the Money as long as I get a Machine that my family can enjoy making coffee with. Also, what do you think of the
SAECO XELSIS
Ótimo trabalho !
Will you recommend this machine or best choice willbe deloghni magnífica evo with latte crema system..thanks
I honestly prefer the Delonghi myself. But this one is more popular, so people really seem to like it.
Tom, thank you for pointing out that the espresso shots are watery. That is a deal breaker for me given the grind adjustment has very little impact on the shot.
The Dinamica Plus does much better for me than this Philips. I don't know why, but Philips limits the dose amount to 7 grams - at least in my trials.
Hey there 👋🏽 which super auto gave you the best espresso?? Thanks!
Delonghi Dinamica Plus
Hi great job with your videos!
I have an issue with my 5400 latte go . The nozzle at the front of the machine where you hook the milk dispenser is pushed in and loose please advise how to fix this. Thank you ,Ben.
Hey Ben, I haven't taken one of these apart yet. Could be a clip that's broken. Can you bring it in to your dealer?
@@TomsCoffeeCorner unfortunatly no they went out of business but thanks for tsking the time to answer me .
wondering: would you recommend this lattego 5400 or Delonghi Dinamica Plus... doubting here. tx
Dinamica Plus, hands down. Better espresso and milk foam.
Do you like the Phillips LatteGo or the Delongi Magnifica Evo better? Can't decide which one is better.
Magnifica Evo is better. I find both the coffee stronger, and the milk foam a bit creamier on the Magnifica.
Could help you answer this question: between the Philips 5400 and the Delonghi Magnifica Evo, which of these two automatic coffee machines would you choose for your home?
I'd take the Evo. Shots and milk texture slightly better than the 5400.
Very helpful video, I’ve been brewing with La Valentina semi-auto espresso machine (you may know it as a Royal Falcon product) for about 18 years and thinking about changing gears to the ease of using a bean-2-cup… and considering the Philips 5400 vs the Xelsis LatteDuo which you may know offers the customization feature of delivering “milk first vs espresso first” to produce certain recipes that provide the float with layered separation for a nifty aesthetic and perhaps some enjoyment interaction with your beverage; does the 5400 offer the same feature or customization for achieving the same result without tricking the unit in a two step process? Also, your thoughts of each of these units in terms of bang for the buck when seeking an affordable upscale, more prosumer unit. Thanks.
Hi there! This does the milk first, then espresso. I don't know anything about the Xelsis you mentioned....anyway, so far I like the Delonghi Magnifica Evo the best of these mid priced units, and the best I have tried is the Jura (E6, E8, etc).
It's my first coffee machine and I had no idea what the hell I was doing, I kept putting the grounds inside the fine grain hatch, and then wondering why the brew kept canceling and all my beans kept dumping out. Thought I was going crazy cuz I kept reading the manual that it came with and it just never really spelled that out. Thanks!
Awesome - glad this video could be helpful! Thanks for the feedback! Tom
Well, that was interesting, Tom. It does very much feel like a machine for an office and the lack of an independent steam wand ( panarello) would make it a "No" from me but it would be fun to play with. I am glad that you showed us the brew group at the end as it is very, very similar to the one in my Saeco/Philips "Syntia" super automatic. My machine also has a bypass doser but I think it may have been better placed as it is fairly easy to clean out. Part of the maintenance of my machine is to grease moving parts in the brew group occasionally - I assume the same still holds for this newer machine?
I am not sure about greasing intervals...this was a loaner from a friend. But she's had it for a while now, and no issues at all. She likes it!
This is the updated version with the same Brew group of the Philips lattego 3200 and yes you are supposed to rinse out the group at least once a week and wash it once a month and when you wash it you're supposed to put food grade grease in strategic places... don't quote me on that because we bought it for my cousin and it's been like 4 years but I deep dove into the research and I'm pretty sure those were the basic numbers
@@NoZenithDoes your cousin still have it? How has it held up after four years with good maintenance?
@celletoronto she has done little to no maintenance she just admitted to me. That's a little frustrating cuz it was quite a bit of effort of research to get her the lowest maintenance super automatic on the market and then get with three other family members to make it a bit more affordable cuz I couldn't see spending $800 all at once in this first came out. It was like 799 and I think I snagged it when they had a special for 769 at Seattle Coffee Gear. They had a good warranty and I also purchased an additional filter for it. One of the nice things about these is they have an actual high quality dedicated internal filter so you can dump tap water right into the water tank without having to worry about excessive groundwater mineral. Most filters are something like a Brita filter that don't really help with hard water so you end up having to descale a lot more. If you keep up with the filters on these you virtually never have to descale. It's like once a year she just told me she has never descaled her unit once. The girl drinks a ton of coffee and has company over and has a roommate who also uses it. She hasn't even ever used the food grade grease that came with it to lube up the Brew group. You take that out and rinse it out once a week and then make sure you keep grease on all the pivot Points to make sure it doesn't get worn out. That's the only regular maintenance you really have to do to this unit other than dump out the drip tray and the catch bin. So if that tells you anything about its longevity, she's had one single issue, it was covered under warranty and I don't remember exactly what it was about. She called up Seattle Coffee Gear and it was fixed within the first year or two. I think I got her a 3-year warranty and it's been going strong ever since with absolutely no input.
How long can you leave the milk in there before cleaning, for example could you make a drink at 9am and at 5pm or not?
Sure, it’ll last at least that long, as long as you refrigerate it in the meantime.
Could anyone please write me a sizes of the glasses ? How many oz ?
Am looking forward to buy a good quality coffee machine that is not so complicated to operate, but have all the functions like this one. I find this one a little bit to complicated to operate.
I just subscribed.
Which one would you recommend between Philips 3300 Series Fully Automatic Espresso Machine - 6 Drinks and Philips Series 5400 Kaffeevollautomat to buy ?
Honestly, I'd go for the Magnifica Evo by Delonghi. It makes better drinks in my opinion.
@@TomsCoffeeCorner Thanks for the feedback, I will check it out.
How can you be a coffee lover and miss the "Flat White" specialty coffee setting? Love the review otherwise, gives me a good idea about what to expect. I'll keep my old Philips for now, other than the milk system it seems similar. The one I have can also create normal coffee by lowering the pressure, but with the espresso beans and the fine grind the resulting coffee is fresh but not entirely like filtered coffee.
Haha, flat white vs cappuccino has to do with milk texture. I don't feel this machine has much variation in milk texture. Cheers!
@@TomsCoffeeCorner The way I learned it was that the flat white mainly contains the froth and a stronger double espresso for a higher coffee / milk ratio. I'd guess that the machine would use a double espresso instead of the normal cappuccino, but maybe I'll never know now ;)
I just wonder If you know roughly how much pre ground coffee can hold at once, because I still have a lot left over from my previous delonghi
That’s a good question. I know they only grinds up to about 7 g. But I bet it could fit a bit more in there. Maybe try 10 g?
@TomsCoffeeCorner Can you mention about the temperature of the milk-based coffee? I recently purchased Delonghi Dinamica Ecam 350.55B. The flat white was not hot enough. I have to go back to microwave to heat it up more. Your input on the drink temperature is much appreciated. Thanks. #TomsCoffeeCorner
I don't think this Philips gets hotter than the Dinamica. I haven't measured the temps, but from what I remember, they're about the same.
@@TomsCoffeeCorner Thanks for the reply. It seems to be the most common issue with this type of coffee machines.
I have a few friends who bought Saeco automatic machines and initially were happy with their purchases until about 8-12 months and the machines started breaking. This requires sending the machine back in and waiting sometimes months to get it back. Most of these purchases were based on price as a comparable high quality machine is at least double the price. I know two of my friends ended up throwing away the machines and switching brands. You get what you pay for.
Well, I don't think that's the rule, or this wouldn't be a bestseller. I personally know 2 ladies who have had this exact machine for 2 and 3 years, with no issues. But they also take good care of it, cleaning and descaling it.
I've had this machine for two years and I've used it commercially as well now I use it in my house and the machine has been great and just love everything about it. Highly reccomend this machine, it's well built.
I'm in the Netherlands, where philips is from so maybe that has something to do with it, but we've had this model for over a year now and use it -a lot- (my husband can have 6 double espresso a day quite often, and I have a milk drink every morning). It has worked perfectly for us and continues to go strong with no issues. We do follow the manufacturer recommendations of cleaning the brew group every week, re-greasing it once a month, and doing the oil tab clean once a month. With that and the aqua clean filters we haven't even had to descale it yet and have had no issues with it.
Mileage may vary, of course, but I think as long as you follow the maintenance recommendations it'll last you a long time.
Isn't it too much effort vs e61 group machine? Like Profitec 400
Hey , what is the best coffe beans combination for good latte macchiato or cappuccino, is it only 100 arabica , or 85% arabica and different kind? In this machine , and what aviut grinding beans level from 1-12 what where should it be ?
I like to use a 70/30 or 80/20 blend of arabica to robusta. That ensures a nice crema, and enough caffeine. Cheers!
Can you just put the milk container in the fridge when not in use? Or is it recommended to drain and clean after each use?
Yes you can, but Philips suggests thoroughly cleaning at the end of the day.
What brand do you think is the best super automatic? Assuming same general price for each brand
Well, Jura is the best I know. But in the lower price segments I find Delonghi to be the best.
@@TomsCoffeeCornerwhich Jura model would you recommend?
Between the Breville Barista Express and this Phillips 5400 series fully automatic, which one do you say is a better buy for a home office without compromising on a good cuppa?
They are so different. BBE has better results, but requires work. The superautomatic is just a button press. Check out this video: ruclips.net/video/9zP40Bedssw/видео.htmlsi=mktvTahnzAUySHU2
THANKS YOU. HOW IT BEHAVES WITH ALREADY GROUND COFFEE.
I don't really recommend that...the chute can get quite dirty if you don't wipe up the coffee grounds right away.
@@TomsCoffeeCorner Thanks
How do you make preground coffee? I put a scoop in. But only hot water came out
I think you have to choose the 'pre-ground' beans option, or it might eject it...
Coffee grinder which way is finer counterclockwise or other way
Finer is CCW. Cheers!
nice machine, but when it does not make good espresso, what's the point :) great review as always
The only super automatic that comes close to actual espresso, is Jura.
@TomsCoffeeCorner can you suggest a Jura machine in the same price range?
I would just say Jura machines are very expensive 😄
@@schmidt_happensWhich market are you in?
@@TomsCoffeeCorner I am in the German market
I like how Philips machines look but Nivona/Mellitta/Miele make better coffee. Jura of course is the best.
The best foam comes from full fat longlife milk (blue cartons in Europe)
I am American , and we order lattes by # shots and total oz of drink size. Can it do my favorite latter a I quad shot 20 oz latte ?
Boy, I am not sure...it's not really designed for that, as it would be hard to get a large tumbler under the spouts. I suppose you could do it, but you'd probably have to hit the milk option twice. Cheers!
hey there, if I want to taste deferent type of coffee beans and change them in the tray , after how meany cups ill get the new beans taste? plz help I don't find any answers in the internet?
Probably 1-2 cups. There's not much room in the grinder chamber.
Hi tom, recently been interested in buying a bean2cup for my wife. What has been the best for you so far?
Dinamica Plus for sure. :)
@@TomsCoffeeCorner thanks Tom! Yah looks like dinamica is recommended by most
I want to buy this coffee machine but in the official website it doesn't show a lid on the milk container which is a deal breaker for me. Is this an older version?
Of course it has a lid - otherwise you'd slop milk all over. Cheers!
is there a differences
from this model from the Philips EP2230 Series Fully Automatic Espresso Machine with Milk Container in Matte Black?
also is the Breville Barista Express a better unit than this or the Delongi Magnifica Evo?
I'd say all those Philips machines are very similar, it's just the number of drinks that differ. The BBE is different than the Magnifica Evo. The former is a real espresso machine, while the latter is a superautomatic coffee machine. So, you can expect real espresso from the BBE, while the Magnifica offers convenience. However, I find that the Magnifica does a nice lungo, provided you're using good beans.
Which is better between the lattego 5400 and the De'Longhi Magnifica Evo?
$1349.99 on Amazon Canada . How does this machine compare to a Nespresso ? I prefer Starbucks Komodo Dragon coffee . Verona is very good .
Honestly, I don't feel it's much better than Nespresso, at least coffee wise. It's better for the enviornment because of less waste. The Delonghi Magnifica Evo or Dinamica Plus is much better than the Philips, imho.
All I want is a high quality coffee so that I can add some cream ( 5 % ) this protects white teeth . Black coffee or tea will darken your teeth .
I don't see the point in your using a step ladder to place your cup on top as the coffee dispenser slides up and down to accommodate for the cup size. Just saying. This machine is one of the best on the market today for the price and the warranty it comes with! Excellent coffee maker and ease of use.
I would not recommed this model since you cant really control the temp of the milk. I would say that this machine is a coffee machine that can make a relatively decent expresso ( not hot to my taste )
I don't know - I thought the milk temp was fine. More important for me is the milk texture, and ergonomics. Cheers!
