Review on ☕ Ultimate Espresso Experience: Philips 2200 Series Fully Automatic Espresso Machine with Milk Frother in Sleek Black (EP2220/14) by Charles Julian

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Nothing to do but enjoy an exceptional espresso!

What an update! I switched from coffee to espresso a few years ago after a trip to Italy. I grind the grains myself and use both a small Bialetti pot and an inexpensive DiLonghi. I love a good espresso. Stop putting up with the constant mess of static floor everywhere and hand washing everything. Every damn cup. Maybe that's why the espresso was once and is ready all day. Now I'll push a button (okay, a few buttons), grab my tastiest cup, and stop touching the car until I feel different! Drink, press button, repeat. From time to time the machine will ask you to drop the ground and drops. Quick rinse, lasts 30 seconds. I drink more espresso than ever. It's not just the cleanliness or the comfort of this great car that I love. This is the constant quality of the juice. I've seen reviews where people rant about how difficult it is to get set up and get through. Yes, sorry, you have to read and follow instructions (I don't like that either), but it's not rocket science. Super easy to customize to get exactly what you like. And then it delivers every time. And then there are those who complain about the cream. I think these are the same people who think a real draft beer should overflow because it looks like it on TV. Ridiculous. Would you like your espresso enjoyment to be based on how much foam is on the surface of the soft drink? My Mocha Express makes excellent espresso without crema. However, this machine produces good foam, much better than my DiLonghi. All in all, I would give six stars if I could. Also with a downside - I wish the hopper could hold a whole pound of beans.
