[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] You can do the steamed milk alone by pausing, yet it still grinds the beans and is a waste. I want to be able to have frothed milk by itself. We have to empty the tray often. We drink a lot of espresso drinks. And ive not mastered ground coffee yet. The milk frother is my main issue.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The touch buttons don't seem to be as responsive as they could be. The amount of water that collects in the drip tray seems excessive but i guess im just not used to emptying the tray once a day. The espresso shots are excellent and i consistently get better tasting shots vs an older Saeco machine.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was a great investment if you want Barista drinks at home and for plain coffee it's fantastic and the milk frother works well for Latte's turning out coffee cafe drinks every time. Easy to refill water tank and easy to clean used coffee grounds too.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This espresso maker is easy to use and has a convenient milk frother unit that is easy to clean. However the water refill sensor doesn't function properly. Every time I turn the machine on, whether the water compartment is full or near empty, the refill light comes on and I can't do anything until I slide the tank off and put it back in place. For the money I spent on it, I'd expect not to have any issues at all.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far we love the machine for coffee and espresso but will eventually try the other features. I use the darkest roast in order to get the taste we enjoy but using other brewing methods I tended to use medium roast to get that flavor. It seemed the filter wore out pretty quickly in about 2 months so was a little surprised at that since we brew about 5 cups a day which brings it to around 300 cups over two months. I thought I read it was good for 500?? Another problem I’ve experienced off and on is when I go to brew ground coffee sometimes I only get colored water but when I try again using more ground coffee it works fine. This doesn’t happen all the time maybe once or twice a week but it’s a pain and I’m not sure what’s going on.

Thank you for sharing your experience with your Philips coffee machine. We're delighted to know that you're enjoying its espresso and coffee features. Regarding the filter life, it is typically designed to last for around 500 cups, but this can vary depending on water hardness, type of coffee, and other factors. As for the inconsistent brewing issue, it might be related to the coffee grind size or the amount used. When the coffee is too coarse or the amount is too small, it might result in a weaker brew. If you have more questions or problems, please contact us at one of our Social Media channels.
Kind regards,

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The set up directions could be clearer, we are using only bottled water to reduce problems. It is simple once it is running.
