Review: Life changer - I LOVE this machine!! If I thought I was addicted to coffee before I had this thing, now it's out of control. Espresso at the touch of a button. It did take some tweaking in the beginning to get the grind size correct for the beans I use. I find that a dark Italian espresso with a little bit of Colombian blended in gives the perfect flavor. The water in Central Texas is way too hard so I've been using bottled spring water to fill it up. I still have to decalcify it from time to time when it gives the alert. I don't use the Philips tablets for decalcification though, I just used two tablespoons of citric acid mixed with distilled water up to the decalcification fill line and follow the instructions on their YouTube channel. I've also used a degreasing tablet once and will continue to use those every few months, again following the YouTube channel instructions. Cleaning it is pretty simple, I don't use soap and just run underwater and use paper towels to remove whatever gunk is on there and let it air dry. Just rely on the occasional degreasing procedure and the daily wage rpurge to keep the lines clean. This this is crazy simple to use, and requires just a little "getting to know it" to get perfect coffee and keep the machine maintained. The convenience of getting freshly ground coffee in 60 seconds from turning it on (and maybe 20-30 seconds if it's already on and purged it's line) is a huge luxury. I like making a double espresso shot into two ice cubes, then add 36grams store bought carmal macchiato creamer. Blend for a perfect morning carmal macchiato. I have 2-3 of those every day 😅
Review: Great machine for the price - This is a great machine for easy lattes and coffee. I bought this machine with the hopes to make lattes, and it has exceeded my expectation. The grinder is really solid and makes a very good tasting espresso. It was easy to set up using the videos from Philips. I was pleased it fits under my upper cabinets with room to place a milk pitcher or cup on top of the machine. It’s very convenient that the water carafe is accessed through the front of the machine (not the top). The machine is not too loud either. I was concerned about waking up family in the morning but it hasn’t seemed to disturb anyone. The settings are very easy to adjust and it notifies you when it’s out of water. I have had issues with the milk frother. It’s a bit of a defect on the manufacturing. If the silver part of the frother is pushed on too tightly it will block the small air hole. It has to be loosely attached for it to get good airflow for the milk. I thought I had a defective machine, but then after messing around with it I figured out the problem. Be sure to rinse the milk frother after every use to prevent milk blockage (I also run hot water through after using the steam wand to make sure it is clear). It’s very easy to clean out the water tray and old grounds. I will add you must have the machine on when you dump the grounds or the machine will not recognize you’ve emptied it. It is recommended to rinse the inside of the machine weekly. The first time I did it I had some issue getting it back together, but I think with time it will get easier. I would 100% recommend this machine to anyone wanting an easy latte or coffee at home. I’ve found that it tastes better than going to a cafe as I can make it according to my liking. There are many videos on YouTube to help with milk frothing and making specialty drinks.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Coffee Machine
*by N***Y on November 7, 2024*

We were replacing a KRUPS machine that was making great coffee until it finally died, so some of this review will reference the KRUPS. When you first get this machine the first 5-10 cups are going to be very weak but eventually the machine will calibrate and you’ll figure out your favorite options, grind density. The good: - easily removable water tank (easier than krups) it slides out forward so don’t have to move the machine ever - makes a variety of coffee sizes and grind types. There is a knob inside the coffee bean area with 12 grind settings. - aroma seal top for the coffee beans holder plus it works with ground coffee too if you get those on accident. - milk steamer is very strong and easy to clean - this design is better than Krups. The steamer can be stopped when you want to so milk doesn’t overflow. - the coffee is really good once you get used to the settings - though not as good as Krups… The OK - startup is a bit lengthy - the first part of the video - the machine shuts down after about 10-15 minutes fully. - it cleans every time so that small amount of water after startup always gets dumped, don’t put your cup there and leave cause you might forget to dump it :) Overall it’s a very good mid range full service machine, easy to clean and maintain and the water tank doesn’t have small areas that will grow mold - this was a problem on the Krups. Hope this helps! Overall I probably would have gotten a Krups because I was used to it but since it’s not sold in the US anymore this one is a very good replacement.
