im torn between both of these....philips seems less maintenance/more reliability. delonghi is more sexy, and quieter, but is arguably less reliable....which one should i go for? i assume they both make equally good espresso. thoughts?
i wish she would compare the raw espresso shots.. I find this channel excellent but too often they compare milk drinks which is arguably less beneficial than comparing the espresso shot, also she says ask any questions yet there's no responses 😣
Hello, I am trying to decide between these two machines (deLonghi Dinamica & Philips 3200). The deciding factor might be the coffee. Can you tell me which one has a richer more flavorable taste and what are the largest size drinks each machine can make? Thanks so much! You guys rock!
The problem I had with Philips/Saeco was with the milk frother. The milk was heated inside the machine, which caused clogging. Does the heating of the milk in DeLonghi take place in the container and the heating element is just heated by the connection to the machine?
My heart is between the Philips 4300 EP4321/54 and the De'Longhi Dinamica ECAM35025SB! Do they make as good coffee and does the Philips really make hotter coffee, which is important to me? Thanks
Philips 3200 or the new version 5400 vs De'Longhi Autentica Cappuccino I'm looking for the comparison between them. Which one is better? They're similarly priced. Similar capabilities.
So you can adjust the temperature of the Delonghi with the master power switch on but not the main. Hold the espresso button down and send the temperature and save.
Hi there! The closest thing to a "regular coffee" that the Philips makes is a lungo, which is a long espresso shot that approximates the flavor of a drip coffee by using more water with the espresso. To do this you'd pull one complete lungo, then replace the cup and pull another one. The best option is to use whole bean coffee in the grinder, and the machine will do the dosing, but there are instructions with the machine that tell you how to use the passthrough grinder and the appropriate volume.
My water's filtered through Aquasana Whole House Filtration system (Water filtration, Water softener) and then going through Reverse Osmosis and then going through Kangen SD501 and then going to this coffee maker machine! so mine will never need descaler!
Hello. Is there a difference in the quality and durability of the grinder between the two brands? Philips talk about "ceramic coating", does DeLonghi Dinamica has ceramic coating as well?
Yes. it halso have the water filter and the floating red advice that this video point only in the Philips. De Longhi all the way, I got it and that's a perfect machine.
I'm actually looking at these two models! well I'm looking at the Delonghi Dinamica 35025 (I think the one in the video is 35020) the main difference I see is the adjustable frother & the newer model allows you to adjust coffee temperature too and has 13 grind settings. Wondering between the 2 which would be the better one (faster, more settings, better coffee, customer service, replaceable parts).
@@tymom9313 What broke on the Delonghi? I am waiting for Dinamica Plus to come back into stock. But 3 broken machines does not sound confidence inspiring…
@@MsJsling Buyed 3 days ago the philips 2200 very happy with it. Coffe i have lavazza rossa. very good italian quality, perfect for ristretto or espresso. 🙌
How do you froth the milk so perfectly:( i have philips 2200/10 the milk frothing is no good and I can’t reach the desired temp. with glassy foam for latte art :(
ı have the same machine and the foam it makes is very thick and nice. ı think you need aim the wand to the side of the cup not the middle of it. ı have just made a coffee shot with this machine and it made a lot of nice and thick milk froth
I saw older video from your channel that recommend to NOT rinse the brew unit in hot water. So we should or shouldnt rinse the brew unit with HOT water?
I have a Breville Infuser that I’ve had for 3 1/2 years. I really like the quality of the shots if I get the tamping pressure right. I get frustrated with the difference between how the beans grind and brew from one batch to another. I have to adjust grind and tamp pressure every time I get a new batch. How do the super automatics deal with that? Looks like the Philips is the one I would want since I mostly do Americanos and straight shots with the occasional latte or cappuccino. Do you have in shop demos? I would love to try the 3200 out before buying. It would be nice to get questions asked about my preferences and methods of obtaining good results as well. Great comparison. I love all your vids.
Gail just as a heads up the Delonghi you can control the temp, it's in the manual how to do it. (requires holding a couple of the buttons etc takes a minute or two) However I have not been thrilled with the taste of the coffee lately, I bought the machine (Dinamica True Brew) about a month ago and it was very good at first but now the Illy coffee seems to be getting more and more bland I even stepped up to a more robust bean they use and haven't noticed a difference. I am wondering if this is due to the lack of temperature when it brews, any insight ?
I have the Philips 4300 replacing a Breville Youbrew which is probably 7 - 10 years old. I don't know the Delonghi, but the Philips is way quieter than my Breville at grinding - maybe half as loud.
Hello, you never mention in any review , the dial in period of these machines, for example Philips manual says 100 + cups of coffee before the machines settles in for a good coffee, Very misleading review IMO
awesome video, But i have a question, would u buy this one or would u buy the more expansive model, where the Milk froth is automatically produced ?? I am in two minds about this subject, on one side i dont need any effort and time, in the other hand i think the crema by selfmade is better, but is it worth the extra work and time ? Especially in the morning ? When u have limited time and so on.......... So if anybody have a advise a would be grateful.
I would go with lattego from Phillips because the app just works better, so you got options to create your own drinks, this way you have endless possibilities. But if you’re going with de’longhi, I would say get the manual one and buy any cheap automatic milk frother because the automatic one is double the price and the app is not reliable.
I have the Philips 4300 which is pretty much the same with an added milk foaming automation cup branded Lattego. I'd choose by which type of drink you make most often. I feel like the Delonghi has a slight edge for espressos - especially if you want larger volumes. It seems to pack the grounds more tightly. But for almost all others and especially milk drinks the temperature control is where Delonghi needs some improvement. If you want real push button and go functionality, I choose a Philips Lattego - mainly because of price difference for anything comparable - but it's still an expensive upgrade. Of every review I've seen, it makes the best foam of every truly automatic foamer out there. At $10 a day savings for 2 of us, it takes mere months to pay off the machine.
I know this could be a little off the topic, but ... does anyone here has seen any compare between phillips 4300 vs Delonghi Manginfica XS ? If so, kindly route me in that direction... Those are my 2 options at this moment. Thanks!
@@johnwieler8530 I think you meant MURICA. FYI (fortunately not being smart does not hurt). Metric system was introduced in France (this is a country in Europe, no Europe is not a country it is a continent) in 1790s. Of course I am not accusing you of having knowledge about history, especially if it's not US history, so I will just tell you that communism in form that you're thinking about was born in 1848. So to make things easier for you - metric system was BEFORE communism. Oh and you're using in your MURICA the imperial system which is British, so it was developed by your colonizer... And it was developed in 1826. About Fahrenheits. Daniel Fahrenheit was born in Gdańsk, Poland - which used to be a communist country over 30 years ago, soooooo you're using communists degrees. Of course he was born way before communism, but you should not care about this, I mean, once communist always communist, right? In conclusion - don't use words that you have no idea what they mean (in deeper way than your friend Bob told you while drinking beer).
@@benjaminwalker1288 Nice reply, very amusing. I think you would be good to meet at a party. I'm gonna try to remember the line "fortunately not being smart....." that's a classic.
This might seem like a very dumb question. But on the dinamica since it has the setting for the iced coffee, if you put a scoop of tea in the slot for pre-ground, could you make an iced tea? Again this might be really dumb.
Thats not that dumb of a question. This machine compresses and steams the grounds to extract flavour, Generally it would be rather difficult to get enough tea in there for it to properly compress (without it becoming overly bitter) but the larger problem would be that tea isn't really supposed to be boiled and so the steam would make the tea rather bitter. (not to mention the fact that this method wouldn't give the water enough time to make a decent tea) But yeah if you want easy delicious ice tea, do a cold brew tea recipe.
Since the way the machine brews coffee for coffee over ice (which they call true brew) won’t translate properly to tea even if you try this method. Since they are extracting a stronger and longer dose with less water as to not water it down and use water from the ice to provide you with the liquid. Best use can do is get hot water from the machine over lots of leaves and add the water concentration over ice ( trust me it creates best ice tea ! Use a gram more than what you would use for hot tea)
Can you please give a review for this new saeco Aulika Evo Focus? This machine is new and no one ever made review on this machine... If possible, can you compare it with Philips 3200 latte go?
Cant even see the crema ... does she know how to sell coffee machines? Its not the taste video telling us it tasted good to u.. ultimate we want to see the crema
would like to say, I love my Breville infuser and Smart grinder combo. Best ever..... ua-cam.com/video/u0pRCciopBQ/v-deo.html - Because of you and all the reviews this is the best and love, love, love..... this machine. Its more operator style semi auto but LOVE that machine.

The Delonghi has a water filter option as well, so does it have a coffee temperature adjust, just it is hidden in the menus
Hello, I am trying to decide between these two machines (deLonghi Dinamica & Philips 3200). The deciding factor might be the coffee. Can you tell me which one has a richer more flavorable taste and what are the largest size drinks each machine can make? Thanks so much! You guys rock!
That should be the main point when comparing machines - as well as temperature of coffee. Results of milk based drinks are too similiar.
While I know what you mean, I have to laugh at the wording. "The deciding factor might be the coffee" 🤣🤣
The problem I had with Philips/Saeco was with the milk frother. The milk was heated inside the machine, which caused clogging. Does the heating of the milk in DeLonghi take place in the container and the heating element is just heated by the connection to the machine?

So which is better???????
Why are you frothing the milk manually when the machine can do it automatically? Thanks
If you were to purchase, which would be your choice?
she said that the taste of the Philips is harder. So, what does it means, is the taste stronger than our expectations or not?
Philips 3200 or the new version 5400 vs De'Longhi Autentica Cappuccino I'm looking for the comparison between them. Which one is better? They're similarly priced. Similar capabilities.
I read from different sites that philips coffee machine will normaly break down after one of use. İs that correct?
I say put the milk in the glass, heat it up and brew over the milk!
So you can adjust the temperature of the Delonghi with the master power switch on but not the main. Hold the espresso button down and send the temperature and save.
on the Phillips how do you make two regular coffees, do you put a cup under than wait, then put another cup under, and how many scoops do you use
