This machine does everything automatically! It grinds the right amount of coffee beans based on your selection, brews and dispenses the coffee, gets rid of the used coffee, and cleans itself when turned on and before it turns off.What you do is fill up water in the reservoir, fill up beans in the container, empty the used coffee bin when it’s full, empty the water tray when it’s full. Lights will come on when any of these is required. There’s a button to adjust how fine you want the coffee grounds, a button to select the strength of aroma, a button to select the concentration (quantity) of coffee.; there is the option to make a single or double. It makes regular coffee and espresso, frothing is very easy and cleaning the frothier is even easier, it dispenses hot water too. Overall it’s a great machine. It takes some time to find the right setting for your taste but once figured out, coffee is enjoyable. It’s important to follow the set up instructions before starting the use of the machine. I always use filtered coffee from the fridge to make coffee, never tap water. Happy with my purchase. Reviewer: Beach Dude Rating: 5.0 out of 5 stars Title: Life-changing for coffee lovers. Review: I work from home and drink about 3 cups a day. Over the years I’ve gone from French press to pour over to all sorts of different kinds of coffee. This is great because I get the fresh ground beans, rich, coffee, and froth with the push of a button – which is really nice when I’m in a hurry or about to jump on a conference call. No coffee ground mess. No cleanup. I also like the steam feature, it’s very easy to just pop the steamer off and rinse it off. Personally, I think this is the way to go versus the steamer cup which would be a nightmare to clean. All in all, I’m very pleased with this purchase. Some of the other reviews are critical of the operational aspect of the machine, and if you’re having challenges with that, just use AI and it will tell you how to use the machine and what the different lights and buttons mean. Beyond that, it’s very easy to set up, fill with both coffee and water, and maintain. I find it’s easiest not to fill the coffee beans all the way to the top, and the water filter that comes with it annoys me, so I don’t use it – I use filtered water instead. That’s my only complaint. It’s just a really poor design. In terms of operation, though it grinds the beans and the little pucks that go into the center of the machine and the bottom tray slides out with a container that holds those little pucks for disposal. When you turn it on, it runs a quick flush cycle and that water drains into a tray that is very easy to remove and drain and it also runs a flush cycle when it auto powers off after a few minutes. Again, very easy to use and I highly recommend it. The coffee itself is very flavorful and taste great and I actually use less coffee than I did in a traditional pour over so I’ll save a nominal amount of money over time too.

Review: This is the third time I have ordered this model (order close enough since the prior one had a couple extra buttons). It is the second time I have received it DOA.I know it I know it makes great espresso, because the second order, the machine worked. It worked great , for about four years. So I reordered to replace it, because it had developed an internal leakage issue. I think this might be common, because the first one I got had an internal leakage issue, resulting in its return and replacement with #2.I had high hopes that #3 would be as #2 was, until its unfortunate demise. No Luck! It arrived and I set it up, and pressed the button. There was no coffee, or anything else, in my cup. There was no coffee puck in the “used” bin (a few grounds), and there was some water under the machine and in the “used” bid. I trouble-shot it up the wazoo. Took out the aqua-clean device to see if that was blocking the water. moved the beans around in the hopper, to see if there was a blockage. That changed nothing. I called for support until I determined that I knew more about the devise than the script-reading support staff. So I set it up for a return, and it is gone. Disappointedly, Amazon is not giving an upfront refund like they usually do. Frustrating, but I guess needed if I am returning a high value item.I have ordered another version of this. pared down to the espresso making part of the machine. Hope Spring eternal.Note that my first Phillips espresso machine was the Vienna. It worked very well for about 10 years, before it died. That was perfectly acceptable. I would have bought it again, but the model had changed. Even the most recent machine that died right before I got this one, lasted a good five years before it sprung a leak.

Reviewer: BA Rating: 5.0 out of 5 stars Title: Review: Das ist mittlerweile meine dritte Philips Maschine in den letzten 16 Jahren – und allein das ist für mich das stärkste Qualitätsargument.Der Philips 2200 Series Kaffeevollautomat überzeugt mit einfacher Bedienung, schnellem Aufheizen und konstant guter Kaffeequalität. Espresso und Café Crema gelingen zuverlässig, Aroma und Temperatur passen für meinen Geschmack perfekt. Das Touch-Display ist übersichtlich und selbsterklärend.Den Milchschäumer habe ich persönlich nie verwendet, da ich hauptsächlich schwarzen Kaffee trinke. Daher kann ich diesen Punkt nicht bewerten – für meine Nutzung spielt er keine Rolle.Was für mich zählt: langlebig, wartungsarm, solides Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. Bisher haben meine Philips Maschinen über Jahre zuverlässig ihren Dienst gemacht – deshalb auch diesmal wieder klare 5 von 5 Sternen.
