Reviewers praise
  • Dual bean hoppers work reliably and allow two different beans to be used, with the grinder flushing retained grinds between selections
  • Build quality feels solid and durable for a predominantly plastic machine, with a sturdy water tank and well-fitted components
  • The Bluetooth app is far easier to use than the on-machine interface, offering extensive recipe customisation, freestyle mode, and profile management
Reviewers push back
  • The dual-hopper cannot be disabled in settings, so users who fill both sides with the same beans still suffer slower brewing as the grinder runs its full flush cycle
  • The on-machine touchscreen interface is clumsy — navigating menus resets to the top after each edit, and the physical controls are considered inferior by multiple reviewers
  • Bluetooth-only connectivity means the app requires close proximity; no Wi-Fi or voice-assistant integration
A well-built, genuinely capable bean-to-cup machine whose dual-hopper system is clever but constrained, and whose app is better than its physical interface.
— best for: Coffee drinkers who genuinely want to run two distinct bean varieties and are comfortable using a smartphone app as their primary control interface.

On Barista TS Smart: Noise level divides reviewers: the machine is marketed as quiet, but at least one reviewer flatly states it is not, while others do not flag it as a notable problem

We have been using this Philips Late-go for 4 month now and I love it. It is not top shelf coffee machine but perfect for our needs.We drink a lot of coffee in my house and even more since we bought this machine. I had different espresso and coffee makers before trying all ways of crafting good coffee and finally I decided to give a try to an automatic espresso machine. That was a great choice.
