Overview
Skip your quick-stop coffee and its long lines, expensive substitutions, and confusing menus with the Certified Refurbished Philips Carina 1200 Superautomatic Espresso Machine. A spiritual successor to the Saeco Vienna Plus, this refurbished Carina offers a futuristic featureset fit for the modern kitchen. Simple operation, minimal maintenance, and good coffee are all just a quick touch away. Dedicated espresso and coffee buttons save your size and strength settings, leaving foam frothing up to you with a panarello-style steam wand. Maintenance is similarly streamlined: Add-on AquaClean smart filtration keeps track of the number of drinks you make between filter changes, a water reservoir and dump box that load from the front, and a generously-sized 10-ounce bean hopper for less refills and more ristrettos. More than a list of features, the refurbished Carina comes in at a competitive pricepoint even against capsule machines and steam-powered faux-espresso makers. Save big on the coffee you love with the Certified Refurbished Philips Carina Espresso Machine!

Pros
- Cost-Effective Cappuccinos: If you currently drink a couple of cafe cappuccinos a day, your Certified Refurbished Carina will have you saving money in a matter of months.
- Maintenance Magic: No water worries here; easy refills and a set-and-forget water filter means less effort, more espresso.
- Simplicity: The refurbished Carina trades microcustomizability for ease of operation—a tap or two is all you need for your morning cup.
-
Cons
- Button Backlights: Small amber LEDs are the only indicators you get on the machine.
- Two-Step: While the dedicated brew button gives you the option to adjust your drink before brewing, once you have it set to your favorites the extra step is largely unnecessary.
