Philips EP3246/70

The Dutch product scores particularly well with its innovative LatteGo milk foam system, which is superior to the competition in terms of convenience. Unfortunately, there is only a choice of five coffee creations, and the espresso and crema quality were the weakest in this test.

The simple design and easy handling of this fully automatic coffee maker are convincing. It also brews coffee very quietly. Only the drip stop and the operating instructions have room for improvement.

Price-performance recommendation. Good espresso, rather intense. Quite small milk container (250 millilitres) with foam nozzle. Foaming milk works very well, but is only possible together with coffee. Six hot drinks via direct selection. Menu somewhat complicated. Extra compartment for coffee powder...
