It’s easy to use, and the touchscreen makes selecting drinks simple and fast.The coffee tastes fresh and rich, and the milk system works great for lattes and cappuccinos. Cleaning is also pretty easy, which is a big plus for daily use.Great investment if you love specialty coffee without leaving home. Highly recommend! Reviewer: Ripleyo Rating: 5.0 out of 5 stars Title: Expensive, and awesome! Review: Wow, best coffee related purchase ever. So many ways to adjuast any of the 20 drinks ot offers! UI seems easy to use and self explanatory. BONUS, it makes the house smell great. It seems to be constructed very well with good quality materials. GThe Latte Go feature ios super easy to keep clean and it the instructions on screen are very easy as well. hard to mess up. My only comeent would be to watch the bean hopper, sometimes it needs a little to keep the well filled, I would purchase this agin.

Review: The brew group unit was completely jammed and wouldn’t function when we received it so we packed it up and sent it back the very next day. It didn’t appear that the unit had ever been opened so I don’t believe I was shipped a used machine, I just believe the quality control is bad. All of the interior working mechanisms are plastic and the quality just isn’t what it should be for the amount of money they are charging. I was truly expecting a much higher quality product.

The biggest problem here is you will end up making a lot of coffee, and some very incredible hot chocolate and about a million other things. Definitely gets a lot of good use. Great morning cup, even if a little smaller, but it is easy to make a double. Love trying the variations. The steamer is able to do quite a bit, and it is easy to clean. The grinding is also remarkably quiet compared to other automatics we have had. Reviewer: Pat D. Rating: 5.0 out of 5 stars Title: Great machine that makes all kinds of coffee! Review: Bourght this machine after sampling a Cappuccino at a kitchen appliance store displaying this coffee maker. It was so good. A sales person explained all the features and I was impressed that it makes 20 different types of hot and cold coffee. I went home and found the machine on Amazon for a better price than the store, so I ordered it! Upon arrival I quickly assembled it. The first few coffees didn’t turn out as I expected, but I have to admit I needed some online instructions and a few more tries. Finally I got the hang of it and now I cannot go a day without a Latte, Cappuccino, Espresso or just some good old coffee. I’m still learning some of the finer tweaks but I can see this is a winner. Reviewer: HuskrMo Rating: 5.0 out of 5 stars Title: Love this thing! Review: Coming from a Jura and we love it. Will see how long she lasts but the additional warranty from Philips upon registration was a nice surprise.Milk frother actually works and is easy to clean. Find myself making a cappuccino quite often due to the ease of use and of course the flavor and the frothed milk! Have only scratched the surface of all this thing can do. Only slight complaint is the bean hopper feeds of to one side, and due to the build, beans don’t always make their way into the grinder. So sometimes machine thinks it’s out of beans before it really is. Reviewer: Mystery lover Rating: 4.0 out of 5 stars Title: Great Espresso machine but very limited warranty. Review: This is a great Espresso machine with far more options than the preceding model. However, I gave it four stars due to the very short warranty. (36 months) My last Philips Espresso machine came with a 10-year warranty, which to me suggests that this 5500 unit may not be as robust as the one I have stored in my garage as a backup. Time will tell. Reviewer: Autumn q.

But it still made coffee. So i replaced it with this 5500 model. I’ve noticed the improvements a quieter grinder more of a seal on the coffee bean holder. And more of a seal on the milk holder top. Give it at least your first 20 or so drinks before fully judging the taste of the drinks. To adjust grinder push down while its grinding counter clockwise is finer clockwise is more course. Only move it one click at a time. It gives nice foam for your cappuccino and lattes. And a good creama on top of your coffee and espresso. If you’re coming from the pod system or regular coffee maker you won’t be disappointed. Just make sure it’s turned off when taking out the brew group there’s a lock system. Rinse it off weekly. Grease it monthly. For reference I love a strong full flavored coffee I always use the extra shot feature in my drinks.

Al principio nos asustamos porque no encontrábamos la tapa de la parte superior, pero nos dimos cuenta de que se encontraba excesivamente acolchonada y envuelta en cartón y material protector. Por poco la desechamos pensando que era una colchoneta para asegurarla en su caja hehe. 100/10 la volvería a comprar sin duda. Reviewer: Derek EG Rating: 5.0 out of 5 stars Title: Review: No pensé que una cafetera pudiera cambiar tanto mi rutina, pero la Philips S5500 LatteGo lo logró.Preparar café con grano fresco es tan sencillo como apretar un botón. En segundos tienes un espresso con crema perfecta y lo disfrutas sin preocuparte por limpiar nada de inmediato. Esa comodidad es lo que más me enganchó.-Café con grano fresco y sabor consistente-Preparación rápida y sin complicaciones-Sistema LatteGo fácil de limpiar-Diseño elegante que luce en la cocina-Gran ahorro al comprarla en promociónEl único detalle que me parece mejorable es el depósito de agua: se queda corto si tomas varias tazas al día. No es un problema grave, pero sí algo que notas en el uso cotidiano.Entre el sabor, la comodidad y el precio que conseguí con descuentos, puedo decir sin duda que fue una compra redonda. El depósito pequeño es un detalle, pero no opaca la experiencia general. Reviewer: Oscar Rating: 5.0 out of 5 stars Title: Review: Me gustó, el único pero que le veo es que la espumadora viene configurada para cada café y no puedes espumarlo de más, otra aclaración veo muchos comentarios que la máquina tiene residuos de café y que está usada, el mismo manual lo dice, está cafetera fue probada con café real y es posible que contenga residuos fuera de eso me gustó mucho y es muy cómoda y fácil de usar Reviewer: Cliente de Amazon Rating: 4.0 out of 5 stars Title: Review: la cafetera funciona muy bien y es realmente fácil de usar, pero según la descripción de lo que debía traer, faltó un pequeño tubo para engrasar periódicamente (una vez por mes) la pieza que prepara el café. Es una grasa especial de grado alimenticio que se puede comprar aparte ($500.00 pesos mexicanos). Reviewer: Jorge Rating: 5.0 out of 5 stars Title: Review: Compré esta cafetera y honestamente: ¡es un avión! Rápida, silenciosa y con más funciones de las que pensé usar. El sistema LatteGo hace una espuma increíble sin lavar mil piezas, y el espresso sale con crema perfecta.Si quieres una máquina que haga café de calidad sin complicarte la vida, esta Philips 5500 es una maravilla. Despega todos los días sin fallar.
