Watching in 2023 for a black Friday offer, and by far she is the best explainer I have seen. Direct to the pros and cons, made a coffee everyone thinking to buy it would do in a day to day.
Thank you! I have really appreciated your reviews. My beloved ESE machine died and, surveying the field, I decided a fully automatic was my best option. I've watched a few of your reviews and have ordered the Philips 2200. I'll be back here when it arrives.
I bought this machine in end of 2023, and I love the review, and the machine. My previous machine was 4 times as expensive and 4 times as labor expensive :-) So thank you.
Thankyou for your time and review. Our 2200 arrives in two days. We cant wait. What I don't understand is that in Europe the machine is delivered with the water filter included. No matter, they don't cost the earth.
@@jpl3170 It's great so far! It took about 5 uses or so to calibrate, but it's been consistently brewing good, strong shots of espresso with a nice crema.
What an amazing review. You have a future as an influencer :) clear instructions, knowledgeable about the product and enjoyable to watch. Job well done.
Thanks very much for the detailed review! This really helped me decide to go ahead and purchase one. I was able to pick one of these up for $160 thanks to a great sale and so far I love it. I do wish that the espresso shot was a little less watery at the finest setting, but otherwise it produces great shots of espresso. My milk frothing pitcher is arrive today and I can't wait to give a cappuccino a try. Cheers!
I have had it for two years and still performs well. I have tons of Philips products from razors and toothbrushes to pasta makers and this espresso machine. With proper cleaning and care, it should work for several years
Bought this machine this week. Not too sure if I like it yet or not. Here in Australia we received the milk container , not the steam. However, in our family we like a Flat White. Any ideas as to the settings for a Flat White? TIA
Thank you for the review. Could you please advise what is the best combination of settings in order to get the best espresso that this machine can produce? The grinder is on 4 (from 12), Aroma strength is on 3 (max), Drink quantity is on 1 (min). But the espresso is still slightly watery and has a slightly burnt taste. I fail to achieve a good cream and a dense round taste of the body. Please help with advise.
@@Theag393 the grinder needed some time to calibrate and now it works very good on position number 5. Espresso now is tasty, and with a nice cream. When producing the espresso you just need to wait for and skip the strange buggy water that machine spills right before producing the espresso itself (just wait for the water it drops and then place the cup under it). I made a short video on producing espresso: th-cam.com/video/b7h7msYIZcY/w-d-xo.html
@@nikandluketravel fair enought but it's honest to say 'the filter DOES come with the machine, but we take it out of the box to sell to you separately'
I've just bought the machine and I really liked it. I was not sure about at first I was going to buy Gaggia machine but this was the cheapest. I'm happy that I've made a good choice. thanks for the review it really helped me to go on with Philips
Thank you for this review. You are a very good presenter! I am probably getting this due the size and features because I don’t need milk. I usually just drink lungos or americanos.
greetings, everything works perfectly - 4 coffees a day and sometimes more if we have guests. Every 3-5 months I clean the whole thing and lubricate it, twice my grinder got stuck, but that's because there are sometimes hard beans in the coffee and maybe small stones. ..My recommendation, a good device for $500 in my country....
Excellent if brief review. Pity the camera decided to move to the buttons just as the espresso was coming out. we’ll just have to assume it had a good crema.
Hi, thanks for the review.. I've a few questions hope you will be able to help me.. 1. does the trip tray can be replace to the stainless steel one from the EP3221? 2. Does the panarello wand can be replace to a regular classic one? Thanks!
Bought this machine thanks to this review. Really nice. And this woman reminds me of the genereer working with the founder of the spordrive from startrack discovery haha
Hello! Nice video, but i wonder what beans do you think is the best for philips 2220? I've tried so many diffrent beans but i never get any good Coffee, thanks for all help!
I waited for a special and bought the 1200 entry level, just in case it doesnt last, in 2years I will upgrade to the 5400 when the price drops. My unit mever came with a filter...sad, Using Distilled water so I never descale any kettle/coffee machine ever...my elements last forever with distilled water. Been using distilled water for over 7 years ...well worth it, also keeps me healthier too. The bad thing with this superauto is that I drink too much coffe now, because it s too easy to make...make me lazy now:)😂
Great review? Anyone have any tips on how to improve the thickness of the crema? I find that's one of the weaker points of this machine, which I've owned for about a month so far.
Great review. I bought the same machine but unfortunately I cannot make volume adjustment for highest setting. Machine enters to programming mode but after filling the cup 170-180 cc, it quits programming mode. So, I cannot program the highest setting for my big cups. Did you have such an issue with your machine? Thanks
Hi. I’m a bit late. I’m thinking of buying this machine. Just one question, does it have a timer, like if I wanted it to make my coffee at 7am without me doing it manually? I subd. I like the channel’s name. Lived in Seattle for 7 years. I’m a bit sad with what’s going on. I wish you the best guys.
hi dear. tnx for nice video! one question.. i use manuel delonghi bco 420 now and want to buy automatic machine. will i taste the same espresso or better or worse? which one u prefer? manuel or automatic? last question, are these automatic machines suitable for long-term use? tnx in advance
How does this compare to the breville barista pro? Will there be a super appreciable difference in taste? Does the Breville rely too heavily on user skill to really reach its potential? Thanks for the help
Breville is for advanced users that know how to dial in espresso shots. Not a big deal but it can be frustrating as every time you change coffee you need to fix grind size, dose, lenght to get that perfect cup of espresso. The superautomatic on the other hand uses pressurized portafiler so coffee is always great regardless of user input. In theory the breville is more advanced and the superautomatic is more convenient. I personally prefer the superautomatic as its simpler - fill hopper, water tank, push a button or two and voila you get espresso.
Hi there, there's a passthrough chute on top of the machine with a little door covering it. Just pour a scoop of ground coffee into that with the included scoop and select a drink - it should use the ground coffee! You can check out the manual for step by step instructions on how to do this.
list of questions. 1.which filter it uses, is it plastic, paper, metal mesh, metal net, or compound type, or specially made for this machine. 2. Is the filter washable, or replacable, do i need to change filter for every 10 cups, or wash it after long use. 3. Are the inner parts holding coffee made up of metal or plastic, does heated one coffe tastes like plastic- if there is plastic. 4. Can we adjust bar pressure for espresso. 5. If oily bean are put-in;does it gets jam, or.... 'as oil has a special tang and flavour with swinging notes (more people may not like that but it is really amazing experience)' 6. does its esspresso content contains suspended fine coffee particles... or the brew is clean like extract.
It's a great video. I would like to know something more about cleaning the brewing mashine. You said something about once a week. Is it better to clean it after every use so the waist of coffee doesn't get muddy and susceptible to bacteria? Than you
I'm thinking of either getting this one or the breville bes 870 which do you think I should get Gail, would really appreciate it price point, in my country these are about the same atm?
This is our second K-Classic. We had our first one for many years, so when we had to replace it, we wanted nothing else but this exact th-cam.com/users/postUgkxBrV-RbF5Nk0Rlt9i15aao-YMzqzTG8Vf model. We use it for about three people everyday in the morning. The taste and quick brew is one of the reasons we like it so much. There are so many choices of brands of coffee that we would grab what was on sale and test the different brands from there. I would definitely recommend trying different brands of coffee to find the ones you like the most because there are brands that quite frankly taste horrible.
I've had this machine for just over a year. I'm not a fan. Because it automatically purges water when the machine starts up, there is always a bit of water left in the line forcing you to toss the first espresso out because it comes out watery (such a waste). I was forced to buy a new machine when my Saeco odea giro crapped out but that machine made wayyy better espresso with more crema than this one. I've messed around with grinder settings and beans (oily /less oily). Everything comes out disappointing. Philips customer service is no help. The only thing I like about this machine is the design. Love that the water tank slides out and easy to fill. If you enjoy espresso, look for something else or you are going to be disappointed. Just my 0.2¢
I have a magnifica S, this looks a lot like it ... I am thinking of buying this for the office. yes/no? as it is almost half the price of a magnifica S when on sale~ hmmmm
Hello, When I steamed milk, the steam tube spray out steam and water drops, and my milk became milk water. Do I need to "warm up" the pipe? may you please tell me what is wrong with my operation? Thanks a lot !

Hello, When I steamed milk, the steam tube spray out steam and water drops, and my milk became milk water. Do I need to "warm up" the pipe? may you please tell me what is wrong with my operation? Thanks a lot !
Sometimes you can get a bit of condensation in the wand so you can run steam firstly to clean the system and then steam the milk.
I had the same issue and was so disappointed!
You’ll be surprised how easy you can fix this.There’s a little black “thing” in the end of the wand. Just push that thing until it sticks out a little bit and that’s it!!! Problem solved
@@katpat74 it works so much better! Thank you very much for the tip!
Clockwise or counterclockwise set the grinder finer?
Im literally serching for the same answer...
i just gone one and im just assuming the smaller dots towards 0 are finer, like smaller particles.
I purchased one and water seems to pour out prior to making coffee or an espresso. Is that normal?
Hello!
The machine does rinse itself with some regularity, and that's likely what you're noticing. If you notice issues with your drinks and it is constantly rinsing, it's worth contacting Philips support!
I didn't see the coffee !! come on :o) next time doesn't change camera view. for all the rest, the review was great and very well explained ;o)
Great video. Btw where is kat?
You showed the water reservoir, but unless I missed it, I didn't hear any mention of how the milk is handled. Did you just pour it in before making the video? Or does this thing actually have a compressor and keep it cold for days?
The milk is held externally, you just pour it into the jug before making it. You have to hold the jug of milk to the steamer to use it.
Thank you so much! :)
Does the 2200 have a ceramic grinder?
Yes
4:20 “it’s about 3/16 of 1/4 of a inch” aka 1mm 😂
i think there's a conspiracy in the espresso machine business. lots of consolidation in companies and probably price fixing as well.
Whats the difference between 1200 and this?
The 1200 has a black trim around buttons, this has chrome trim, i think that's it....
drinking my first cup o coffie got it today:P very nice
My triangle on the control panel has lite up everything is clean but still will not give coffee

Id like i couldnt understand the grinder. Which way is strong
This woman is amazing
I making great coffees. I use this machine. I have a video, I recommend the product
Is someone who work delonghi magnifica also to tell us which is better?
Delonghi magnifica without any doubt. Gives stronger coffee than philips.
great review, thank you for that!
I wonder why you cut the dripping, which is undoubtfully the most important thing in the whole espresso industry. Like wtf?
Does anybody know wich way to turn the grinder for a finer blen, lets say number 1 or 2, is it clockwise or counterclockwise?
The dial has 12 dots that go from small to large.

What kind of water do you use? The tap water is full of lead or with other dirt? Do you filter that first, in your country America i mean?
Move to a more developped country instead staying in that 3th world shithole. OR buy a aquaclean filter.
