How to Use Philips 3200 LatteGo Espresso Machine - Espresso, Cappuccino, Latte and More 

Hi Andor. The bypass only operates with pre ground coffee. This is generally used to bypass the main grinder for secondary beverage options like decaffeinated.

Hi Julian! So nice to hear from you. Thanks for the question and feedback, much appreciated. Haha, those classes were fun, you passed all on your own! I just gave you a little push. As you know there is no 'milk only' beverage option on the machine. Here is a workaround for you... Select the bypass option on the machine, no need to add in any preground coffee. Then select cappuccino or latte, and choose the volume of milk you prefer. This will make the beverage and once the unit starts to brew the 'espresso', move away your mug of milk... and just stop the machine or discard the water that will brew next from the 'espresso'. No need to add the preground coffee as it would be a waste. That's the only workaround I have found so far. I hope that helps. Enjoy the rest of your day and Happy Holidays! Ciao Ciao

Look under Omia’s comment for the answer on how to use the bypass option

Hey there, The machine has different grinder settings you can select. Grinder level 4 - 5 is the best setting for overall best results. Thank you!

@@Consiglioskitchenware thanks u..appreciated

Hi Laima, Thanks for your question. Since the brew unit can be removed from the unit, the best and easiest way to clean it is by simply removing and rinsing underwater. No need for oil tabs. Tabs are used most often for units where the brew unit cannot be removed from the machine. Have a great night! Cheers!

While Consiglioskitchenware is correct for week-to-week cleaning, you should remove your brew group and rinse it. There are times when you should do a deeper clean of your espresso machine, as water doesn't clean the natural oils left behind by your beans during the brewing process. Using cleaning tablets about once a month can extend the life of your brew group and machine. For your inner parts, the instructions best used are here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QdAcoi5mdiY.html For your grinder, I recommend "Supergrindz" which is the special formula made by Urnex for grinders of super-automatic espresso machines, as their "Grindz" formula may expand and potentially damage your super-automatic espresso machine.

Hey Henry, As the carafe has a spout, it is recommended not to store in fridge as air will get to the milk. You can pour the extra milk back into the original milk container, the carafe is dishwasher safe! Ciao!

Hey there, I am sure you have gotten this resolved by now. It sounds like the grinder settings is too fine. Here is a demo video on how to get best results with automatic machines - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CZYZG36JicQ.html Ciao for now!

Hi, great question. There is not too, too much difference between latte vs latte macchiato. Latte - start off with espresso and then add frothed milk Latte macchiato - start off with frothed milk and pour in the shot of espresso A latte machiato also has more espresso in it, making in a bolder beverage. For example a latte can have one shot of espresso, whereas a macchiato has likely two shots of espresso.

Hey ther Marko, with the carafe you cannot achieve latte art. You would need a manual frothing wand for latte art. You can poor the left over milk back into your own milk container in the fridge. You can take apart the two piece LatteGo and toss it into the dishwasher for easy cleaning. Ciao for now!

Hi there, it is possible that you might be overfilling the machine with coffee. Please only use the scoop that was provided with the machine and only fill the bypass with one single scoop of espresso coffee at a time.

Same thing happened to me. This is how I got it to work. Select your choice of drink, then you need to click on the coffee bean button, until the light next to the scoop icon goes on. only then add the pre ground coffee. Then press the start button. Hope this helps. You might want to clean your brew group too. Mine was full of the pre ground coffee since I used it incorrectly.

Hey folks, i just bought this machine and had simiar issue with pre ground. Ok, got it one scoop and waitforthe scoop icon to light. My issue is howo get a regulat 8oz cup of coffee. The instructions say that with pregrou d youstart and press stop when you get tot the amount you want. Wheni use the pre ground setting though it dispenses a single shot. How do i get it to fill a cup until i want it to stop? Thanks

@Lorain Poggenpoel what type of grind do you use? Fine, drip or coarse?

Hi, thanks for the question. You can adjust the strength and volume. You can max out the strength and increase the volume. You can adjust the volume to medium (not too long), and then brew twice to get a stronger end result. Or, add dark roast beans to the hopper :) Thanks!

@@Consiglioskitchenware thanks for this. Is there a way to make a 'preset' of this so that it automatically brews twice or enough for a normal cup of coffee? ( i know this is blah and boring but i'm asking for my coworkers that are tim horton drinkers lol)

@@Freshpay Yes, you have to hold down the beverage icon until it flashes... then its in programming mode. Once you are satisfied with the volume press the beverage icon again. Moving forward the beverage will be made with that volume. The strength setting is on the control panel, ensure the strength is maxed out. You cannot program it to brew twice automatically. Hope that is helpful. Thanks!

Hi there, On the 3200 model you cannot do just milk froth. You can however do it on the 4300 and 5400 models. Link to 5400 - www.consiglioskitchenware.com/products/philips-saeco-5400-lattego-fully-automatic-espresso-machine-ep5447-94 Link to 4300 - www.consiglioskitchenware.com/products/philips-saeco-4300-lattego-fully-automatic-espresso-machine-ep4347-94 Full demo - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4VdVCZcJNsU.html Have a great night! Cheers!

No, you can just make an Americano though, and add your own milk straight from the carton. That’s what a cafe au lait actually is. Coffee with milk.

Hi Michael, On the 3200 models there are no 'user profiles'. This means the strength and volume settings will reset after turning the unit off, that is correct. Have a wonderful afternoon. Ciao

Yeah, milk and coffee are mixed in the glass, they don’t pour at the same timeso if your quick then you can catch the coffee onto a diff glass

Hey there, I am sure you have sources the answer. The 3200 does not do milk froth alone. The 4300 and 5400 versions do however. Link to Phillips - www.consiglioskitchenware.com/collections/super-automatic-espresso-machines/brand_philips? Ciao for now!

Hi Norfarhana, Sorry for the late reply, for tech questions please connect with a Phillips agent at 1800 371 7597 and they will troubleshoot with you. I am sure it has been resolved by now of course, the number is above for anyone else looking for tech support. Cheers!

Hi there, You need to select the 'scoop' option to activate the 'bypass' function. Where the 3 strength settings are, there is another little option, press the button enough times for the 'scoop/bypass' option to be selected. Thanks.

Hi, thanks for your question. You can do one milk based beverage at a time. Or, you can select to brew two espresso/coffee based beverages at a time. Ensure you put two cups, one under each of the spouts. Link to Phillips - www.consiglioskitchenware.com/collections/super-automatic-espresso-machines/brand_philips? Ciao for now!

Hey there, each machine is a bit different. The instructions outline to " Press the on/off button to turn off the machine. Press and hold the coffee quantity button when the Philips 3200 LatteGo is switched off. Press the icon and select normal, high, or max temperature when the lights are up." You can always connect with a tech support agent by phoning 1833-737-1212 Mon to Fri 9 am to 6 pm est for step by step instructions or troubleshooting. Many thanks.

Hey there, no eta for a updates 3200 model. There is the 5400 model available that offers more beverages and features overall. Thanks for the question!

Hi there, Yes! The 3200 does have a bypass which is a chute that goes straight to the brewing unit (and bypasses the grinder!). Many enjoy this function for decaff preground espresso. I hope that is helpful. Here is a link to Philips machines at Consiglio's Kitchenware - www.consiglioskitchenware.com/collections/super-automatic-espresso-machines/brand_philips?

In the user manual there are some instructions via an obscure combination of buttons.

Hey Christine, I am sure you have sourced the answer. The instructions will outline the steps. A Phillip tech agent can also walk you thru, if you are in Canada you can reach them at 1800 371 7597, they are very helpful. Ciao for now!

Hi there, you must select the bypass option by holding the coffee strength button down for 3 seconds. The light will then illuminate beside the 'scoop' at the bottom of the coffee strength button. This will signal the unit not to grind coffee but to use the preround coffee you put into the bypass chute. I hope this is helpful. If you need further assistance please connect with a Philips tech agent at 1800 371 7597.

Patricia Washington yes you can, although almond milk does not froth very well. Oat milk on the other hand froths much better. Thanks for the question.

Check out almond milk unsweetened barista.

Hey there, That is a great question. I do not know how many grams it hold, but I do have the below details for your review.

Hi there, Just milk foam is not an option on this specific model. You can explore the 4300, 4400, 5400, or 5500 models. Thanks!

Hi there, great questions! There are options to select the strength, volume of coffee, and volume of milk. Those are the buttons on the right of the machine. The manual has guidelines on page 11 (from 2022 version) on how to adjust the temperature. Machines without temperature icon 1 Press the on/off button to switch off the machine. 2 When the machine is switched off: press and hold the coffee quantity icon until the lights in this icon go on (Fig. 19). 3 Tap the quantity icon to select the required temperature: normal, high or max. - Respectively 1, 2 or 3 lights are on. 4 When you have finished setting the coffee temperature, press the start/stop button. 5 Press the on/off button to switch on the machine again. Hoping that is helpful for you! Cheers! Link to 3200 - www.consiglioskitchenware.com/products/philips-saeco-3200-series-lattego-fully-automatic-espresso-machine-glossy-black-ep3241-54

@@Consiglioskitchenware thanks but whats the big black plastic button where the beans sit?

@@How.Dare.You. I think you might be referring to the grinder adjustment wheel. This allows you to change the grind consistency in the Philips 3200. A finer grinder will achieve a stronger taste whereas a coarser grind is generally weaker.

Hi Rodolfo, No the 3200 cannot do just milk. The 4300 and 5400 have frothed milk options. Link to Philips Espresso Machines - www.consiglioskitchenware.com/collections/super-automatic-espresso-machines/brand_philips?

@@Consiglioskitchenware I found that you can choose the option for a Latte and stop before it pours the coffee 😉

I use whole milk to make mocha lattes.

You can use any milk.

Yes, you can. Keep in mind the protein and fat content varies is dairy vs non dairy. For best texture and frothing 2% regular milk is suggested. Ensure any milk is very cold straight out of the fridge! Thanks for you comment.

So you cannot use half and half?

Hi Gledison, great question! The 3200 does not do stand alone milk froth. The Phillips 4300 on the other hand does! Link to 4300 - www.consiglioskitchenware.com/products/philips-saeco-4300-lattego-fully-automatic-espresso-machine-ep4347-94 The 3200 does 5 beverages - espresso, coffee, americano, cappuccino, latte macchiato, hot water The 4300 does 8 beverages - espresso, coffee, Americano, cappuccino, latte macchiato, café au lait, caffé crema, ristretto, milk froth and hot water I hope this is helpful info for you! Thanks for commenting :)

No

No but I just mixed it in with the milk before the whole process. Turned out good

Hey there Alaa, You can add chocolate to the end result within your mug to create a mocha beverage :) Or you can add a piece of dark chocolate to the mug, allow the hot espresso to brew and melt it within the mug. Hope that is helpful. There are many recipes for creating a mocha beverage. Ciao for now!

Latte is only milk. Latte Machiatto is a coffee and milk beverage

The machine only has functions for two milk drinks: Cappuccino and Latte Macchiato. It will not independently froth milk without espresso (so you just remove the cup before the espresso is dispensed).

@@rayfulton7072 this is absolutely wrong

@@Reedo302 yeah, that seems like such a waste of coffee -_-

@@Bestinwest You can create only frothed milk using the ground coffee bypass (with it empty) and making a Macchiato. Since it's using an empty bypass for coffee, it will not ground beans and waste them. (Machine's first step is grounding beans in Latte Macchiato). Once the milk is frothed, just push stop.

Hi there, Here is a link to the 3200 - www.consiglioskitchenware.com/products/philips-saeco-3200-series-lattego-fully-automatic-espresso-machine-glossy-black-ep3241-54 You can review all the details specs at the link above. Thanks for commenting.

Hi Leslie, Thanks for your comment. The 3200 has good reviews! There are certain things people need to do with any unit to ensure the longevity of the machine. 1. Ensure to not use oily espresso beans. 2. Ensure to use the water filter. 3. Ensure to clean when the light signals you too. 4. Rinse the brew unit once per week. Here is a demo video on how to get the best results with automatic espresso machines - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CZYZG36JicQ.html The machines do come with a manufacture warranty of course. I have used many Phillips machines over the years and am very happy with the results :) The LatteGo line has a unique easy to use milk frother that is dishwasher safe. Many love that feature. Have a great afternoon. Cheers!

I have been wanting to buy this machine too. I read alot of problems. Also the fact that it will not do either a latte or latte machiato specific is annoying. They are different drinks and for $800 and supposedly "AUTOMATIC" this should be standard.

I’ve had mine for 2 years now. Works beautifully. No issues.

Hey Matt, Thanks for commenting. That is not common feedback we get. I have a helpful video on getting best results with automatic machines, linked below. Link - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CZYZG36JicQ.html Always avoid using oily beans, use the water filter, and complete the descale cycle or cleaning cycles when the machine prompts you to. Max out the strength setting, use high-quality beans and ensure the grinder is adjusted to best suit the type of beans you are using. We do get positive feedback on the Philips units especially. Ciao for now, have a great weekend.

Hi Andy, I am sorry to hear that. That is not common feedback we get on the units. Please email us at info@consiglioskitchenware.com with your order number and we can reach out to Phillips to inquire on the warranty. The units do come with a 2 year manufacture warranty. A video that may be of use is linked here, it goes over grind settings, espresso beans etc. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CZYZG36JicQ.html Looking forward to connecting. Cheers!

Hi there, Translated - "Unfortunately it's not in Czech..." So sorry to hear that. Maybe the company will make the product available there soon, unfortunately, I have no info on that from my end. Have a great day and a great weekend ahead.
