What we don't like about Philips Series 4300 EP4346/70

  • Noticeably loud ceramic grinder operation
  • Extensive use of plastic materials reduces the premium feel
  • LatteGo milk container can leak if not seated properly
  • No app connectivity or smart home features
  • Requires significant adjustment of settings to achieve best taste

Verdict

The Philips Series 4300 EP4346/70 is a fully automatic super-automatic espresso machine featuring a 15-bar pump system, a 1.8-litre front-loading water tank, a 275g bean hopper, and a 100% ceramic burr grinder with 12 adjustment steps. Main characteristics and pros include its tube-free LatteGo milk system that cleans in under 15 seconds, a clear TFT display for selecting 8 one-touch beverages, a 5-setting coffee customiser, 2 user profiles plus guest mode, and an AquaClean filter allowing up to 5,000 cups without descaling. However, some cons include a relatively loud ceramic grinder during operation, high water usage due to frequent automatic rinsing cycles, and a slightly plastic-heavy exterior body build.
