Philips EP2230/10 Series 2200 -kahviautomaatti

Have been using nespresso pods but always wanted to get a decent bean to cup machine and this model does the trick.

There are newer model recently released but for the price it's great. I did wonder what the latte2go branding meant as it isn't on choices of coffee it makes but then googled how a standard latte is made and its expresso and a mix of steamed milk and froth which the system does with the milk unit.

Lovely coffee once you find the beans that suit your taste

Overall a fantastic product, takes a bit of getting used to. The instruction book could be simpler maybe? but i am impressed with it genarally. makes great coffee,s

I totally love this machine. It is quick and easy to use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a top class coffee machine! It looks very elegant. The biggest advantage for me is perhaps the milk frothing container due to easy cleaning - just rinse this two-piece container under running water and it is clean! It is also possible to wash it in a dishwasher and store the milk in the fridge when you use a larger amount. The downside is that there is no just milk frothing function. It's a pity. Next, a great plus is the possibility to set coffee strength and quantity. The coffee machine works great, now I have delicious coffee with frothed milk without leaving home. It’s so easy to use. Besides making delicious coffee, the product has a nice design and is fairly quiet. Easy to use touch panel. The Philips company makes elegant equipment and this one is also like that. A large advantage is also a water container that is very easy to fill without moving the entire coffee machine because it is located at the front. In addition, a removable water filter softens the water, which affects the taste of the coffee and protects the machine against limescale.

There are not many types of coffee to choose from - only white, black, espresso. However, this is not a big defect – thanks to this simplicity, we will not spend a few minutes thinking every morning wondering which mode to choose where in fact coffee does not differ much in taste. Maybe I'm just missing the typical latte coffee option here. The system cappuccino is quite small, with a capacity of 200 ml, but the froth is very nice for an automatic coffee machine. Together with the kit, I received a tube of grease for moving parts. According to the instructions, this should be applied after washing the inside of the machine. It is great that the manufacturer took care of such small but important detail.

Adjusting the coffee grinder is also a big advantage. In addition, the product is characterized by very easy access for refilling coffee beans and the possibility of making ground coffee.

Advantages: price, nice design, easy cleaning, tasty coffee, milk container without hoses, easy to use. Disadvantages: no wide function selection - latte coffee with LatteGo in the name of the machine, only one white coffee option.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really appreciate how easy it is to use this machine. The smell and taste of coffee are both fresh and you can appreciate differences among different beans. It automatically cleans itself and turns off after few minutes.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] During the time I had the coffee machine I found it to be verry practical in use and comfortable for all my family. The coffee tastes absolutly amazing like one of made by professional barrister. Cream on top of americano is realy impressive. The manual instruction were clear and easy to understand on how to set up the coffee machine along with it other features. The coffee machine is quite straight forward and clear to understand even without having the need to read the instruction. One of the features I found enjoyable is the wide variety of coffee sizes and how well the machine made them. The cappuccino made by the machine is delightfull, because the milk goes first and then the rest and looks aesthetic through a clear glass due to the layers it makes. I'm also impressed with how the milk container works and it's easy of use during usage and washing afterwards. Despite this, the only negative(s) is that it's not a possibility to choose how frothy the milk is. Another connected minus is that I can't make plain frothed milk for hot chocolate.

Overall, I love this coffee machine as it's aesthetically pleasing in practice and looks smart in my Kitchen.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love this coffee machine. I love the simple slick and elegant design. The combination of silver and black is just perfect.

It’s simple and compact built is makes it i easy to store as it doesn’t take much space and doesn’t creat unnecessary mess.

The manual and online support are easy to understand and very informative.

Use of ground coffe and coffe bins is great feature. The choice of strength and size of coffee is just perfect for me.

Is easy to clean as most of parts are dishwasher safe.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This compact coffee machine perfectly fits in my small kitchen. The height was just right for the tiny space under my cupboard.

I was worried that unpacking from the box will be difficult, however plastic strip with handles fastened around coffee machine helps a lot. This simple solution made it very easy.

The initial set up of coffee machine was about 30 minutes. It seems to be a little too long but this is necessary to ensure all is done properly. The manual included in the box is clear and easy to follow. The strip for checking water hardness was included in the pack as well. There is a very hard water in our area so the Aqua Clean water filter fitted in this appliance is very useful. This filter is reducing limescale as a result you don’t need to descale your coffee machine too often.

This coffee machine can be adjusted in many ways so you can personalise your coffee to ensure you have the best quality and strength of your drink.

The ceramic grinder can be adjusted to change coffee strength. I didn’t used this yet as the original settings suits my needs. There is also possibility of using pre-ground coffee to make your drink however I will not use this function.

I prefer to drink cafe latte and cappuccino as a result I am the main user of Latte Go system in my household. I really like it, it is easy to use and clean. However it could have different settings of milk frothing. Also it will be useful if this has got a function for warming the milk.

In overall this is a good coffee maker which perfectly fit in my tiny kitchen. I really enjoy my brew prepared from freshly grounded coffee!

Pros:

• compact size, perfect for small kitchen
• easy to set up
• easy to clean
• adjustable ceramic coffee grinder
• adjustable size and strength of your brew
• water filter, useful if you have got hard water

Cons:

- no possibility to change the milk froth density

- lack of warming milk option

I have received this coffee machine as a part of product test. Philips has no editorial influence on the rating.
