Philips Barista Brew Steam Wand Steam Is Not

  • Milk & Steam-1 pts

    The issue is that the steam wand won't produce a steady stream. Instead, it pulsates. This also happens when I use the hot water function.

Philips Barista Brew

  • Reliability, Leaks & Safety+1 pts

    I'm selling my lightly used Philips Barista Brew espresso machine. It's been used for about a month and works great. Price is $400 or best offer. It includes the espresso machine, built-in grinder, built-in steam wand, tamper, milk frothing pitcher, single and double-shot filter baskets, and all additional original accessories shown in the photos. The condition is clean, well-cared for, with no issues or defects, and it's ready to use.
