Don't Ruin Your New Investment

Regardless of which machine you choose, both rely on internal grinders that are sensitive to oily beans. To keep your Philips out of the repair shop, stick to these non-oily selections.

Lavazza Qualita Rossa
The wake-up call. Because it has Robusta beans mixed in, it has way more caffeine than the others. Great for milk drinks, but can be a bit harsh for straight espresso.

Lavazza Qualita Rossa

A blend of Arabica and Robusta. Rich, chocolatey, and full-bodied.

Lavazza Espresso
A very nice medium roast delivering a smooth, balanced flavor profile. Perfect for authentic Italian-style espresso with subtle fruity and floral notes.

Lavazza Espresso

100% Arabica, Florals and fruit. This fragrant medium roast offers a sweet and aromatic finish.

Lavazza Crema E Aroma
Balanced medium roast with an intense, earthy flavour and long lasting crema.

40% Arabica and 60% Robusta.

Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on your priorities. The Philips 4300 Lattego excels for users who want user profiles to save your specific recipes, while the Philips 5400 Lattego is the better choice if you prioritize 12 drink options and extra-shot function.
How do the grinders compare?
The 4300 Lattego uses a Ceramic Flat, whereas the 5400 Lattego features a Ceramic Flat. While both are high-quality internal systems, they are sealed components. To prevent clogging and avoid expensive repairs, we strongly recommend using non-oily, medium-roast beans in both machines.
Which machine is easier to clean?
