Philips 3300 Series Bean to Cup Coffee Machine - 5 Hot & Iced drinks, Classic Milk Frother & Cappuccino Maker, Quick-to-Clean, 40% Quieter, Ceramic Grinder, Fully Automatic Espresso machine EP3326/90

I have hospitality background. I know how to make my coffee! I was buying my latte every morning 5 times a week! That makes at least £800 a year!!! And some times when baristas in rush can make tasteless cold coffee! Very easy to set up, lots of videos on YouTube. Very easy to keep clean and maintain. Very easy to use. Heats up very quick! And making really good espresso!! How do you steam your milk and what type of coffee beans you buy is up to you!! This is says just 2 coffee settings!! And for me more than enough to make any coffee I want!!! ;) perfect size for my kitchen worktop. If you are drinking coffee every morning this machine will save you lots of money!!

This is my third bean to cup machine I have always had krups machines before which have been excellent but require maintainance around the 3000 cup mark I would say this Philip machine seems to be exceeding that easy to clean and use makes a good coffee with a good cream for the price do t hesitate buy it

We purchased this to replace our John Lewis own-brand espresso machine, which refused to pump any milk through, and was a very basic machine. We were slightly hesitant about getting a machine with a steam arm, as we are not skilled baristas. That said, it is incredibly simple to use. We don't know whether we have made a cappuccino, latte or flat white, however it is is a nice, frothy coffee. And the drinks are piping hot from it. The functionality is good. You can make espressos or longer coffees. For each of these, you can choose whether to make one or two simultaneously. You also can choose the strength and the size of the drink, which it remembers even after the machine has been unplugged. The bean storage is a good size, once filled it lasts a reasonable amount of time. You can adjust the fineness of the grind inside the bean storage as well, allowing for a finer or coarser grind in your drink. That said, given that it's inside the machine, it is more challenging to change this when full of coffee beans. There is a separate compartment (and measuring spoon) for using ground coffee, rather than beans. This is helpful when someone has a particular coffee preference. All waste is stored inside the machine in a little box. Everything is easy to clean, and the booklet contains clear guidance on how often to clean and lubricate the machine. All-in-all, a good coffee machine, especially for the money.

The machine is great however our milk wand has broken and the steam doesn’t work. We have contacted Phillips on numerous occasions for updates / repairs / refunds etc and the customer service is quite frankly a joke. 1-3 day reply with nothing relevant. They have told us they would pick up the machine on 2 dates and both dates they have not arrived and given no update on why or when next. It’s a shame as the machine is good besides the broken wand. However the customer service I’ve received will stop me using anything Phillips ever again. Big shame…

I read the reviews for this before buying, so to address some of the negatives, 1. Water tank - not massive but it does the job 2. Coffee strength - agreed, single expresso shot in a cup isn’t as strong as the same amount of coffee from a more traditional expresso maker, but the work around, select double expresso and use a smaller cup selection (you can set cup size), yes you use twice as much coffee, but when you get your head back on you’ll either accept or compromise. What’s to like - you can set expresso or regular coffee cup. You can set cup size. You can select single or double drink. Cleaning up the grounds is so simple it’s untrue. Looks good on the counter. Can select grind level or use pre-ground coffee. What’s to dislike - the clean cycle, every time you power up the machine it does a clean cycle, wastes water, but you can live with it. No warning “out of coffee beans”, but you can live with it. Waste coffee alert seems to be a timer/counter rather than a sensor, so expect alerts to an empty waste coffee container on occasion. Overall, A very good price for a bean to cup coffee machine that seems to do the job. Only had it for two weeks so let’s see how reliable it is long term.

Great machine fits perfectly in kitchen , fresh coffee at push of button , easy to clean aswell so far 10 /10 no complaints, would recommend buying

We bought this to replace an ageing coffee machine of the coffee pod variety, finally deciding to bite the bullet and step up a notch. We are certainly not disappointed with the decision, finding it somewhat cheaper to run (buying beans rather than pods) and far better for the environment. It is super-easy to use and can produce really nice coffee - espresso, lungo and full coffee sizes are just a single button press away. The range of strengths is nice and it's super-easy to use ground coffee if someone in the house has a preference other than the current bean selection. The milk frother, as well, is super-easy to use and very simple to clean. One thing of note is that you really do benefit from heading to youtube and finding the maintenance video there as it makes the maintenance instructions a lot clearer. There is rather more maintenance to do than the simpler coffee pod machine we used to own but I am hoping that means that this machine will have a longer lifespan.

Great item!! Good quality. Good value for money.
