Philips 5500 Series Fully Automatic Espresso Machine – 20 Hot & Iced Coffees, Quick-to-Clean LatteGo Milk System, 40% quieter with SilentBrew, Less waiting with QuickStart, Black, Silver (EP5546/70)

Birthday gift for partner and wow! Best husband ever!This coffee machine offers plenty of customizable settings and an intuitive touch display that’s easy to read and understand. The coffee dispenser spout adjusts for different cup and mug sizes, though it doesn’t raise quite high enough to fit my travel mug—my larger mugs just about fit. Unfortunately, removing the drip tray isn’t an option since it collects used coffee grounds and excess water.The coffee temperature is hot but not boiling—perfect for immediate enjoyment. A large latte takes around three minutes to brew, with other drinks varying in preparation time. Cleaning requires some effort, as many parts can be removed. The milk container, in particular, was frustrating during setup since I kept dropping the lid.Setup itself was simple enough, though the QR code for the Philips app didn’t work, and the instructions weren’t great—I ended up watching a quick guide online instead. The water container is convenient, holding a large amount and sliding in and out from the front for easy refilling. The jug includes an AquaClean filter and a water hardness test strip, helping the machine notify you when it’s time to descale.Be aware that this machine is quite large and requires ample counter space. While it claims to be quiet, it’s actually quite loud—similar to other models. One handy feature is the removable milk container, which can be stored in the fridge when not in use.I made the switch from my pod machine (which is much smaller) because the ongoing cost of coffee and milk pods wasn’t worth it. Right now, my favorite drink is a large latte, but there are plenty of variations to explore.

This is so easy to use, easy to set up, perfect home fresh coffee. No complaints really, just wish it offered a Mocha option!

Came next day very easy to set up mind we did look on utube a few times so easy to make coffee I come down in a morning switch on go to hubbies profile press start perfect black coffee change profiles to mine I get a perfect latte machiato just by pressing a button then clean my milka by pressing clean it just rinses the spout and that's it.we tried a few coffees before we got it how we wanted it had some fun doing it. I think the machine is worth the price we paid I have a friend paid a lot more than we did for another make and she can't use the milka as the tube gets blocked so has to micrawave her milk but this machine does it perfectly.the inside comes out to clean once a week but so easy to do.

It's a fantastic, fully automatic coffee machine. It's very stylish and easy to use. I received it yesterday, and have made numerous cups of coffee since. The option to have coffee beans and ground coffee in the machine in its different parts provides the opportunity to make coffees using normal and decaf coffee. The milk frother is fab, and it makes lovely milky coffees each time. Before I purchased this brand and model, I had done research on the different machines and looked at reviews as well as the relevant user manuals. I am glad I ordered this one because it's a fantastic, user -friendly, and stylish machine that looks great in the kitchen.

We've had this coffee machine for a week now, and we absolutely love it! I was searching for an all-in-one, fully automatic coffee machine, and this one checks all the boxes—even offering cold iced coffee options. Unlike some competitors that inflate their prices only to put them on sale later (a practice I dislike), this brand offers fair pricing from the start. The coffee tastes great, and the milk froth is rich, perfect for milky coffee drinks. So far, it’s been an excellent purchase for our family!

I love it

Easy 5 star rating, does a variety of coffee drinks just select the one you want and follow instructions.You would be advised to check on YouTube for tutorial as limited instructions come with the machine.

If you like just black coffee, espresso, Americano then this machine is excellent. The milk frother is however pretty useless, you could get more froth by using a straw. Milk was not hot enough either.A real shame as I was hoping having read other reviews that this would be an awesome machine, sadly it just isn't in my experience.
