Cafetera Espresso Philips BAR300/03 1,2 L 16 Bares Molinillo Cerámico Blanco

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product from Influenster to test in exchange for my review. Ive been using this coffee machine and milk frother for a few weeks now and I really like it. Firstly, it looks gorgeous in my kitchen! Its a really nice in-between where its nicer than a pod machine, but so much simpler, quicker and easier to use than a full espresso machine. It takes whole beans and has 3 settings depending on the size and strength of coffee you want. Easy to clean as well thanks to the button to get rid of used grounds easily! It also came with a milk frother which is a really nice addition, also very easy to use and can be used to create hot, frothy milk or just to heat milk. This is a little less easy to clean because the hot milk sticks to the inside, however the parts are magnetic which makes it easier and feels premium. No issues using either of them so far, would recommend!

Y lo mejor es que esteticamente es muy bonita, pequeña y encaja perfectametne en la cocina. Los cafes salen muy buenos. Ha sido un regalo de Philips Domestic Appliances

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve always been an instant coffee person because of ease and cost. We have a coffee pod machine at home and it rarely gets used due to it costing a fortune for pods and it always has a weak watered down taste and it’s sat in the corner since and went back to my instant coffee of a morning. I treat my self a couple of times a week to a proper coffee out the house but it does add up in cost. I’m so happy to of been given the opportunity to try this. I’m completely transformed. The taste is unmatched. The machine itself is automatic, easy to use and surprisingly silent. Just place the beans in the top, add the water and turn the handle and it does everything for you. It really looks the part on my counter and is compact and doesn’t take up loads of room. The milk foam machine is the perfect added bonus to top it. I’m enjoying experimenting with different beans and flavours. The machine grinds the beans and dispenses automatically. Then the remaining pulp I’ve been putting in my wife’s roses to feed. Added bonus it will save me fortune having coffees out. Now my friends come to us instead of the coffee shop. I look forward to a fresh coffee of a morning. Instant no more

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This compact machine is so cute and ideal for anyone who loves making an espresso at home. It is easy to set up and use. Firstly you have to fill the water tank with fresh cold water which is at the back of the machine, you then insert the drip tray and cup platform into place, you then power up the machine and it will start heating up. Takes approximately 40 seconds to heat up. At the top is a compartment for where you put the coffee beans, you add 2 tsp of the beans and close the lid. Lastly, put a small cup under the spout and press the brew button. Coffee will be ready to drink!

I am so frustrated with this machine. While the power still turns on fine, the actual performance has completely failed after only 4 months.It has become a total mess to use. The grinder barely puts out enough coffee for a shot, and when I try to brew, it leaks all through the portafilter. The worst part is the soupy mess it leaves behind; there is more water left sitting in the portafilter than there is espresso in my cup.
