Is the Philips Barista Brew worth it?

It suits shoppers who want a grinder and steam wand in one semi-automatic machine. You get control over grind and dose that a bean-to-cup automatic does not give you, in exchange for a hands-on workflow.

Does it grind beans itself?

Yes. It has a built-in grinder and a 280 g dual bean container, so you can load two coffees at once.

Yes, through a manual steam wand. There is no automatic milk frother, so you steam and texture milk yourself.

How big is the water tank?

The tank holds 77.8 fl oz, which is large for a home machine and cuts down on refills.

How does it compare with a fully automatic machine?

It gives you control over grind and dose that a bean-to-cup automatic does not. In return you tamp, time shots and steam milk by hand.

Does it have app control?

No. There is no app control and no programmable recipes; you set grind, dose and shot time on the machine itself.

Our take on the Philips Barista Brew

The Philips Barista Brew is a semi-automatic pump espresso machine with a built-in conical burr grinder, a steam wand and a 77.8 fl oz water tank in a stainless steel body. It is aimed at people who want to grind, dose and pull shots themselves rather than press one button. It runs at 218 psi and 1350 W, with two brewing spouts and a drip tray. Against bean-to-cup automatics it gives you more control over grind and dose but asks you to tamp, time shots and steam milk by hand.

Best forHome espresso drinkers ready to grind and tamp themselvesMilk-drink fans who want a manual steam wandSmall kitchens that want one machine for grinding and brewingBuyers moving up from a pod or pressurized-basket machine

Pros

Built-in grinder with a dual bean container, so you can keep two coffees loaded
Semi-automatic pump control lets you dial in grind, dose and shot time
Steam wand for textured milk rather than a fixed automatic frother
Large 77.8 fl oz tank means fewer refills
Stainless steel finish suits most kitchens
Two brewing spouts let you pull a split shot or two cups at once

Cons

Semi-automatic workflow means grinding, tamping and timing each shot yourself
Manual steam wand takes practice to get microfoam
No automatic milk frothing, so milk drinks are hands-on
Rated 4.6 from 87 ratings, a modest sample rather than a long track record
No app control or programmable recipes
