LibbyNothing tastes better than a coffee made for you. Fall is finally here, and with the popularity of espresso-based cocktails, we’re happy to leave the brewing to someone else.
That’s where our Barista Butler Philips comes into play. Their new 3200 Series Espresso Machine aims to take all the work away from the grind of making coffee. So, while you’re measuring your drams to make these cocktails, the 3200 is cranking out freshly ground coffees.
This impressive machine also boasts a built-in milk frother dubbed the LatteGo. This allows you to press a button, walk away and return to a perfectly café-crafted frothy cappuccino.
GET TO KNOW YOUR BARISTA IN A BOX
Crafting five different coffee drinks on the fly, the Philips 3200 Series with LatteGo does everything but add sugar. Imagine the possibilities of after-dinner drinks while you socialize instead of slinging out coffees. Bliss. At your fingertips, with easy-clean and straightfoward touch points, this coffee beast is downright foolproof.

The system also features a water purifier, clearly the coffee gods weighed in on this one. You can also toss in your fave beans and let this brewmaster do the grind, to your specifications, naturally, or add your pre-ground beans for a streamlined experience.
