I've always loved coffee, but with the weather getting hotter
I've been obsessed with iced Americano
Are there any other coffee lovers out there like me
or anyone who drinks a lot of iced coffee in the summer?
Well, today I'm going to introduce the perfect product for you
(Basic model) This is the basic model for coffee drinks like Americano
(Latte model) and this one can also make lattes
I brought both of them today
So stick around to see which one is best for iced coffee lovers!
The coffee machines I have here today are
(New summer product) Philips coffee machines, specially designed for iced Americano
You might already know about these
They're called the "59-degree machine," and they're new for the summer
The model numbers are EP3326 and EP3347
(Q: Why is it called the 59-degree machine?) It's called that because it brews iced Americano at 59 degrees Celsius
Which is the perfect temperature to prevent the ice from melting too fast
It's hard to get that perfect cafe-style ice that doesn't melt right away
So the ice in your coffee usually melts too quickly
But this machine has a special iced Americano recipe
Which is 4 degrees lower than usual
That brews the coffee at 59 degrees Celsius
It's been carefully calculated to keep your iced Americano cold and delicious
And for other coffee drinks
It brews at the regular hot temperature, so you get the best of both worlds!
You can enjoy all your favorite coffee drinks with the perfect recipe
Let's start with the basic model, the EP3326
It has a one-touch display
Which is super intuitive and easy to use
Even if you're not familiar with coffee machine
You can make
Espresso, espresso lungo, Americano
and iced Americano
It also has hot water and steam
Here's a little tip from me
You can use the hot water to make cup noodles!
(12 grind settings) You can adjust the coffee strength with the bean button
And the amount with the mug button
The last button with the thermometer icon lets you adjust the temperature
You can choose from three different levels
To make your coffee just the way you like it
The EP3326 also has a milk frother
You can turn the lever to adjust the amount of milk foam
From a little to a lot
So, that's how to use EP3326, pretty easy, right?
Now, the grinder is an important part of any coffee machine
And Philips uses a 100% ceramic premium grinder
Which preserves the full flavor of your coffee beans
The grinder blades create frictional heat when they grind the beans
But the ceramic grinder helps to reduce that frictional heat
Which keeps your coffee tasting its best
Then, extract the shot with the highest pressure from the coffee beans
That’s when the crema is formed
It’s very soft and has a deep flavor
Now I’ll make the different kinds of coffee and show you
First, is the most basic which is an espresso
If you look, there is a dark color and you can feel the unique taste and scent of the beans
I used the coffee beans that I really like
And you can really taste the unique nutty flavor of the beans
Now I'm going to make an iced americano, which is the main talent of EP3326
The 59 degrees extraction I mentioned earlier is the final extraction temperature
The first extraction is the same as an espresso
So when you have an iced americano
You can still taste the unique flavor of the coffee beans
You can make an ice americano by directly extracting the shot into a cup with ice
Considering the amount of ice that is going to melt, it is extracted with a small amount of water
If you drink it right away, the coffee is at the perfect ratio
Honestly, in order to enjoy a good cup of coffee at home
You have to prepare the ice, water, and espresso shot separately
Which is such a hassle
But this shortens all those steps
While giving you the best flavor of an iced americano
I’ve tried different coffee machines as someone who enjoys coffee
I could taste the different flavors of different coffee beans
And the iced americano tastes just as good as the ones in coffee shops
(Extracting an americano) In addition, when comparing the recipe for a regular americano
(Extracting an iced americano) And an iced americano
Do you see the amount of ice that has melted?
You can see how less ice has melted when you use the iced americano recipe
The 4 degrees difference in Philips makes the most delicious iced americano
Next, I’ll be making a latte which is what I drink the most after americano
Extract a shot directly into a cup with milk
You can add ice to make it into an iced latte
Or you can use the steamer by selecting the amount of foam you want
And warming up the milk to make a hot latte
From here you can add more things to make a caramel latte or vanilla latte
And because the steamer is used to warm up milk, it’s easy for it to get dirty
And becomes hard to wash if it gets dried up
So you can pull it out right away and rinse it under water
Next, a lungo is an espresso that has been extracted longer with more water
So you can see there is a crema formed
And it has a stronger and deeper scent than a regular espresso
(The air is filled with the coffee scent) The scent is so rich that it’s enough to fill this room
And it’s a bit difficult to make a lungo espresso with capsule coffee machines
(Easily able to make a lungo with EP3326) But you can easily make a delicious lungo with this
After you are done making your coffee, you need to thoroughly clean the machine like the steamer
The parts are easily taken apart from the bottom pan, the bean container, to the water container
If you take apart the water container
You can see there is a filter for clean water
And you can take out the bottom part to wash thoroughly
After taking out the used coffee grounds, you can dump it out and wash the container
I’ve used coffee machines that are inconvenient to clean sometimes
Obviously, bothersome process makes it annoying to clean the machine
And if the machine is left unattended, the quality of the coffee decreases
However, Philips coffee machine is simple and faster to clean
which allows me to clean it more often
So far, this was the coffee machine that is specialized in iced americano
Fully automatic 59 degree basic EP3326
So now I’ll introduce EP3347, which is a 59 degree machine with LatteGo
Like EP3326, EP3347’s iced americano
Has a final extraction temperature of 59 degrees, which is 4 degrees lower than the existing ones
Touch screen display and the way to use it is the same as EP3326
But this one contains cafe latte and cappuccino functions
This part shows the advantage of EP3347
Which is LatteGo, containing automatic milk steamer function
To make silky steamed milk and plenty of milk foam at home
You have to be highly skilled, which is not easy
So I heard from a lot from home-cafe lovers
That cappuccino is not easy to make at home
However, with this LatteGo you are able to make high-quality cappuccino with ease
LatteGo is made with Philips’ patented technology
Using the principle of quickly mixing milk and air to create foam
And a very soft and rich foam is immediately made
I’ll show it right away
So first pour some milk into LatteGo
Then if you press the cappuccino button
The steam enters LatteGo and quickly warms the milk
If you look closely at the milk container here, there is a very small hole at the bottom
Which pulls the milk up and pours it into the cup
After the steamed milk is completed, which looks so smooth and rich, shots of coffee are made
And this process is very important when you make cappuccinos
If you fail to make steamed milk, the foam sinks and dissolves
Which leaves them not much different from normal lattes
But this machine allows coffee shots to be added while the steamed milk and foam itself keep its shape
Which is really cool
If you look at the coffee that is made
Can you see the layers of milk, coffee, and foam like this?
The taste is as good as the ones you get from cafes
Which is rich and smooth
I loved that I can make cappuccino at home with
(EP3347 enables you to enjoy high-quality cappuccino at home) Such high-quality steamed milk and foam
Even when guests visit
With coffee pod machines I could only serve iced americano
But with this machine, I can make my own cappuccino
That is so smooth and tasty
By drizzling caramel syrup on top
You can upgrade the coffee to a caramel cappuccino
Which makes it even more useful than you might expect
(EP3347 is also completely detachable and can be washed separately) And this one is also very easy to clean
Since it is all detachable
Also, since there is no flexure or complicated structure
(*You can use the dishwasher only with a LatteGo) You can separate it and wash it with water
It can also be washed in a dishwasher
There's also a wide entrance where the milk comes out
You can wipe it with your hands without any other tool
I told you earlier when I washed the EP3326 steam stick
Generally, there aren't much machines that you can
Separate steam sticks or steamers to wash them
I had to take care of it more inconveniently because there were many built-in structures
The fact that I can separate and clean EP3326 and EP3347 is
It was a great strength
You can make a variety of coffee drinks in an easy way at home
I've introduced high-quality flavors
(Design of EP3326 and EP3347) This time, I'll show you the designs of the two in more detail
First, the water bottle that takes up more volume than you think is
Put on the side as if it's a part of the machine
And reducing the overall size of the machine played a role
It's not too minimal
It feels like you're making it look neat and slim
And both of them, in the water bottle
has a filter to make coffee with cleaner water
The capacity is 1.8L, which is quite generous, so a lot of drinks are made
(Width 22cm, height 41cm, depth 35cm) The two products have similar sizes of 22cm, 41cm, and 35cm
The main colors are black and silver
There were times when I bought fancy colored and pretty machines
But I came back to the classics
No matter what kind of interior you have, these neat colors
They look perfect on it
And more than anything, it doesn't feel like a coffee machine that people use at home
But for those who really like coffee
It's for people who know the taste of coffee
I loved how it felt like a luxurious coffee machine
It's a rounded rectangular shape, so it goes well with wherever you place it in the kitchen
There's nothing that sticks out of the machine
You don't have to consider the location of other kitchen furniture
Most of all, it's neat and sophisticated
I think it'll be easy for young people to use
If you're older than me, it'll look luxurious
It's good to use while setting the mood in the kitchen
For the silver parts, the coffee could splash and get them dirty
(Adjust shot extraction tool to match cup and extract it neatly) You can adjust shot extraction tool and use it to match the cup
I've never felt that disappointment while using it
For people like me who often drink coffee
It's also important to keep it clean in the coffee machine
I think that's how it read my mind
There were things that I was satisfied with while using various coffee machines
On the contrary, there were some machines that I was disappointed about
These two were quite satisfying
So, which one should I choose?
Let's summarize it for those who ask that question
I like to eat the original taste of the coffee beans and I like iced americano
When you want to brew coffee efficiently and quickly rather than a home cafe vibe
To this kind of people
I recommend the basic model EP3326
However, if you want an home cafe vibe
If you have lots of guests at home
And if you want a more wide variety of coffee beverages from time to time
To this kind of people
Of course I recommend EP3347 with LatteGo
As it's getting hotter, nothing can beat a glass of iced Americano
