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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

What a big difference to Saeco!

What a big difference to my old Saeco. The design is really European, I would compare it to Siemens or Bosch that my friends in Germany have. The water tank is twice the size, conveniently transparent to see the water level, the silicone bean lid keeps the coffee fresh, and the water tank is on the right side as most of us are right-handed, easy to use and easy to clean. Fully automatic and very neat and modern look. One of the biggest improvements is also the quality of the case - it's made of stronger plastic, which was so bad and broke easily in the old Saeco. Another improvement is the movable coffee dispenser - you can adjust it for a smaller or larger cup, and last but not least, the plastic surface of the splash guard is cleverly grooved so you don't see every single smudge or drop of water. /Coffee on it like on a glass surface. I was going to buy the first 3220 series but that was the only one Revain offered free returns on. I didn't want to buy a pig in a poke. But once I got it and started using it, I fell in love with it from the first use and decided almost immediately that this was all I needed. A little inconvenient in that it doesn't have an attached LatteGo milk cup and temperature control, but worth the $300 saving. So overall I'm happy with the purchase and I hope it lasts as long as the Siemens machines :) Is it too much to dream about?!

Pros
  • A dream come true
Cons
  • Not bad
