What Amazon buyers say
I have been shopping for this type of coffee maker for some time (sick of k-cups). I initially bought a much more expensive brand but returned it (to complicated to clean etc.). This coffee maker is excellent. Was so easy to set up and Coffee tastes great. Cappuccino feature is so convenient and produces great froth. I guess the only negative is the size of the water tank and that it pushes out water into the collection tray with every self cleaning. I just keep a small glass bowel to remedy it. Overall, I am super happy with my Phillpps!!!
This is a great, fully automatic espresso, coffee and cappuccino maker. Very easy to use and it makes great coffee drinks. The bean compartment could be a bit larger, but that's the only criticism I can come up with. It works as well as many of the much more expensive machines out there, great value for money.
This device really should get five stars but there's just some small things that hold it back. First off the small things. The water level sensor is very finicky. Often times I need to bump the water container to get it to start. It's been getting better the longer I use it but it is a minor inconvenience. Second off the bottom tray does not have enough water capacity. You have to empty it basically every day. To be fair the manual tells you this but it is a thing. Finally the power button for turning on not off is really insensitive and requires multiple presses. This is not a plug it in and …
Our Philips espresso machine has honestly made us feel like we have our own little coffee shop at home 😂 The coffee tastes amazing, the LatteGo frother is super easy to use and clean, and I love being able to make different coffee drinks without a complicated setup. It looks sleek on the counter, works great daily, and has absolutely been worth the investment for our home coffee bar!
Seven years ago, we purchased a Philips Saeco and absolutely loved it. So when it came time to replace our coffee maker—due only to a move abroad and a change in voltage—it felt natural to choose another Philips: the 2200 Series Fully Automatic Espresso Machine. Our original unit was still working perfectly, and we would have kept it if not for the electrical incompatibility. Unfortunately, this new model has been a disappointment from the start. The ground coffee compartment is unreliable, functioning sporadically and seemingly on its own terms. But the most frustrating issue is the water com…
