Philips 2200 Series Fully Automatic Espresso Machine with LatteGo - Black

This is the best coffe maker i like it a lot i make espressos and capucinno

My wife and I have been using the Philips 2200 Series Fully Automatic Espresso Machine with LatteGo daily for over a year now, and we don’t regret the purchase at all. The quality improvement of having freshly ground coffee at home is worth the significant investment to us. Here are my thoughts on this machine: Pros: Ease of Use: The machine is incredibly user-friendly with its intuitive touch screen interface. It takes just a few taps to brew a perfect cup of espresso, coffee, or cappuccino. For example, I prefer strong coffee and my wife doesn’t, and its default is mild. I just press the bean button twice for stronger coffee. Consistent Quality: The espresso and milk foam quality are consistently good. The machine delivers a rich and aromatic coffee that surpasses what I’ve experienced with chain coffee shops. LatteGo System: The LatteGo milk frothing system was a main reason for the initial purchase although ironically I don’t use it all that often. It’s easy to attach, clean, and produces creamy froth for your cappuccinos and lattes. Automatic Cleaning: The automatic cleaning function is a nice feature, and ensures the machine remains functional with minimal effort. Compact Design: The sleek and compact design fits well in my kitchen without taking up too much counter space. Cons: It can take a while to turn on once it shuts down. 30 seconds or so can seem like an eternity to me first thing in the morning. Haha Plastic Build: The machine is predominantly made of plastic, which might not appeal to everyone. Noise Level: The operation can be quite loud which might be a concern for some households. Limited Customization: While it’s great for basic coffee drinks, the machine offers limited control over finer details like temperature and grind size. Overall: The Philips 2200 Series Fully Automatic Espresso Machine with LatteGo is an excellent choice for anyone looking to enjoy high-quality coffee at home with minimal hassle. It also pays for itself over time if you go out to buy coffee regularly. Easy cleaning, ease of use, consistent coffee taste, and convenient features make it an awesome value for money. However, if you’re looking for a machine with more options and/or a fancier appearance you might want to explore other models.

I bought this coffee machine because of a great price at Best Buy.

Very good one, easy to install and to use. But very basic.

We purchased this automatic machine to replace a manual Breville machine. This has been a life changer. We initially purchased the Breville during Covid, nevahse we were working from home. Now that we have gone back to the office, i dont have time to do go through an espresso workflow every morning. The Philips provides an excellent latte and cup of coffee, honestly I can’t beleive I did all this work manually at one point — when the Philips is so good at it.

This machine is amazing. Super easy to use and clean. Excellent coffee and cappucinos.

The machine works well enough, and you can witness the engineering when you clean the "brew group" for the first time. I'm not overly picky about my coffee; I've weaned myself off cream and sugar, for the most part. I still prefer French Press coffee to this because I can control the amount of ground, step time, and temperature. PROs: has a double shot/cup mode, has a built in grinder, and supports preground coffee. Temperature is fine, but for coffee, I add a few ice cubes to my cup before being so I can start drinking it faster.CONs: the best buy app doesn't allow line breaks on reviews, sorry! It only makes one shot or cup at a time-- double shot mode just means it runs the same cycle twice, so it takes twice as long and doesn't have the same effect as a double shot other, manual machines can make. There is no hopper for preground coffee-- you have to add one scoop of coffee at a time to the hopper, which also means there is no double shot or cup mode for ground. THE ABSOLUTE WORST PART: cleaning this thing. It's easier for me to clean a manual machine because I can see all the parts, and there aren't many parts. This machine has a different schedule for everything: clean the water tank weekly, clean the drip tray daily, fill the water tank every 1-2 days, change the filter every three months (based on usage), rinse the be group every week, clean and degrease the brew group every 1-2 months, clean the preground coffee chute every few weeks, and grease the brew group every 2+ months. All of these frequencies change based on your usage. If you let it go for too long before you clean it, there can be grounds all over the inside of the machine, including the brew group, and they stick to the grease (lubricant) on the brew group, making it very difficult to clean. I'd rather clean a manual tamp and portafilter every day. But if you like how a machine makes code and have someone else who's willing to clean the machine, but something like this. Just make sure it makes the type of drink you are looking for: espresso, coffee, cappuccino, hot water.

Love the aesthetics and ease of use and setup. Makes a great cup of coffee.

So happy with this purchase. I have visitors at my home just to get a latte.
