[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I struggle to figure out the exact best grind level for taste while not creating a mess within the machine. Cleaning the brew device appears simple in the video, but I have coffee grounds in a bunch of places and I’m not sure if that is user error from too fine a grind, or some issue inherent in the device. The flavor is generally good. I keep up with my filter changes (expensive as we have hard water so have to change more frequently). We had a similar machine years ago that lasted 10+ years, so we are hopeful this one will last as well.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Response from philips.comBy The Philips Home Living team, July 11, 2023
Hi,
Thank you for your feedback. We're glad to hear that you find our product reasonably priced and that it makes excellent coffee. However, we apologize for the inconvenience caused by the instructions and the water filling process. If you want, you can contact us on our various Social Media channels for assistance with this problem.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It took a while before the buttons and I came to a common understanding. But now we work fine together! I am so, so about the machine. I love the slender profile, but believe the coffee isn’t as good tasting as my previous Safeco machine. The steamer kicks off prior to reaching 160 degrees. The good news is I don’t over heat the milk, but I do like it hot.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Philips machine has cleared the collection of coffee mill, stand alone Mokamaster brewer, a scale to weigh out the beans, storage container for the beans, etc. (you get the idea) with an impressive but not too massive machine. I have not ventured into use of the milk frother, as I am a "drink it black" person; but my spouse proclaims a desire for a latté so I will venture out to the realms of milk frothing. Cleaning the brew mechanism is actually quite easy, aided by the on-line video instructions from Philips; the manual is a bit sparse in this area, but the video instilled knowledge and comfort in performance. I will definitely utilize the video on line guides when it is time to apply the dab of grease, which I believe is to be done every 2 or 3 months. The printed guide instructions were far from clear, so the product videos from Philips will be of utility. I have liked this machine so much, I am tempted to investigate the higher end machines either in the Philips line or the premium Saeco products.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far it has been pretty easy to use and clean. Have not had to do a major clean because of the filters.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an easy to use coffee maker. We enjoy trying different coffees & making them uniquely ours. It’s easy to adjust the coffee strength & volume. Cleaning regularity is necessary & easy to do. There are instructional videos on YouTube if you need help.
