For my money, one of the standout espresso machines Ive had the pleasure of using is the Philips LatteGo 4400 Series , and its now down to a delightfully low AU$613 at Amazon for a limited time .

    This compact model from Philips is a fully automatic machine, meaning you
    only need to touch a few buttons to be rewarded with a well-made cuppa. It also means you can start the brewing process and walk away to complete other tasks, which is an excellent use of time if you ask me. Save 49% (AU$586) Philips 4400 Series Fully Automatic Espresso Machine: was AU$1,199 now AU$613 at Amazon

    Amazon has already discounted the 4400 to an accessible AU$763, but is offering an extra AU$150 off via a coupon, so dont forget to check the box. And if you have a Prime membership, your new best friend can be up and
    running in your kitchen within 48 hours. View Deal The Philips LatteGo 4400 Series isnt the first automatic espresso machine Ive used and it certainly wont be the last but its left a lasting impression on me for a number of reasons. Firstly, its just so darn easy to master. Touch-enabled buttons are clearly labelled and the small colour screen is easy to read.

    Then theres the main event: the coffee. As I said in my Philips LatteGo 4400 Series review , it consistently brews a great-tasting coffee. I did have to adjust the grind setting for the best results, but thankfully thats an easy process that shouldnt scare newbies.

    What youre also getting here are 12 drink presets, two customisable user profiles and an automatic milk-foaming system, which is where it gets the LatteGo name. The user profiles are particularly useful if you have more than one person in your household using the machine: just enter a profile, select
    a drink and then the start button, thats it.

    Where I found the LatteGo 4400 falls a bit is with its headline feature the LatteGo milk-foaming system. This sees a milk carafe being attached to the machine, for it to then deliver hot foamed milk into your cup or mug. I personally wasnt all that thrilled with the level of foam produced, and it certainly wont appeal to hardcore cappuccino fans, but flat white drinkers might actually prefer it. I found I achieved much better results using the Philips Baristina Milk Frother separately, and thats not an expensive
    addition to add to your coffee routine, costing just under AU$120 on Amazon .

    As for the actual coffee-making part though, I simply cannot fault the 4400 Series . Navigating through the menus is as easy as can be, and Im consistently satisfied with the results.

    While this isnt the lowest-ever price Ive seen on this highly capable machine , it comfortably beats the price I saw during Prime Day back in July (when it was AU$878). I cant be sure how long this discount will last, so this could
    be one to jump on ASAP if your kitchen is crying out for a coffee machine. Want more suggestions? Amazon has a few other coffee machines at discounted prices at the time of writing, including the Philips Baristina and Ninja Luxe Cafe, both of which claim spots in my guide to the best coffee machines in Australia .
