Philips 5400 Series Bean to Cup Coffee Machine – 12 Coffee Varieties, LatteGo Milk Frother, Fastest-to-Clean, Ceramic Grinder, Fully Automatic Espresso & Cappuccino maker – Black, Silver (EP5446/70)

The selection of coffee types you can choose and for the ones you can create yourself, it's an amazing coffee machine. It's fantastic and we'd highly recommend this machine to all, in fact one of our friends has already purchased one.So easy to use, including programming your own types of coffee. We've had espresso, flat white, latte, americano, etc and they are perfect. We have set the grind level at 12, as we love strong coffee, with no issues. Putting an extra shot gives you a wake up call you need on a morning.Cleaning is simple, as is taking it apart. Yes it is slightly noisy, but that is understandable, it's grinding coffee beans and heating milk. We use full fat milk and coffee beans that have a rating of 9 and above. The temperature is just what you need and the milk frothing is fantastic. Great water capacity, so you can get at least 8 cups of a latte or if you just have espresso sizes, then it would last you all day for 2 people.Excellent value for money and it looks great in any kitchen.The only thing I have, is that inside the box there was not a tube of grease. It states that one is supplied, but there is nothing.

Bought this coffee machine as an upgrade to the one we had. We researched and this did everything we required from our coffee machine. Amazon offered this machine on pay monthly which made it affordable. Unfortunately amazon delivered the machine a day late and under their guarantee of delivery date, they refunded a payment to us.The machine is very easy to set up and we find the coffee to be amazing. It comes out at the right temperature and strength. The automatic frothing is incredible.Cleaning the machine is very simple and can be done with easy. We certainly can recommend this machine.

After extensive research and having enjoyed a similar model at my parents’ home, I finally decided to invest in this coffee machine, opting for one that would cater to my preference for convenience over manual frothing. This machine perfectly accommodates my desire for a delicious, frothy coffee without the hassle of manual milk frothing, making it an excellent choice for those who appreciate ease of use.Pros:• Convenience: One of the standout features is the ability to store the milk in its own container and easily place it in the fridge. This ensures that the milk remains fresh and ready for your next coffee.• User Profiles: The machine supports up to four user profiles, allowing you to customise settings for different users or preferences. This personalisation is a great touch, ensuring that everyone can enjoy their ideal coffee.• Customisation: You have a wide range of customisation options for each coffee, from strength to temperature, catering to a variety of tastes.• Ease of Cleaning: Cleaning is straightforward with several options available, which makes maintaining the machine relatively hassle-free.Cons:• Milk Froth: While the frothing function is effective, it doesn’t achieve the same thickness as manual frothing methods where you shake a pot vigorously. The result is slightly less rich froth, which might be a consideration for those who prefer a creamier texture.• Drip Tray: The drip tray fills up quite quickly, even if you’re careful with drips during the start and end of rinsing. It seems to capture drips from the coffee-making process as well, which means frequent emptying.• Customisation Saving: A minor annoyance is that the machine automatically saves any customised coffee settings as the default. If you make a one-off adjustment for a stronger coffee, it will be saved as your new standard, requiring you to manually revert the settings later.• Shortcut Options: The machine does not allow for changing the coffee options on the shortcut buttons, which means you might need to navigate to the ‘more drinks’ menu for certain types of coffee. It would be more convenient if you could customise these shortcuts.Overall, this coffee machine has proven to be a fantastic investment. It was worth waiting for the price to drop rather than opting for a cheaper model. Its convenience, customisation features, and ease of use outweigh the minor drawbacks, making it a great choice for anyone looking for a high-quality coffee experience with minimal effort.

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.
