PHILIPS Series 4400 Fully Automatic LatteGo Espresso Machine, SilentBrew Technology, Quick Start. Aromatic Coffee from Freshly Ground Beans, 12 Hot and Iced Drinks, Black Chrome (EP4447/90)

My first automatic coffee machine but OMG! It's amazing! It takes time for the machine to get calibrated I would say; so be patient and enjoy your coffee!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Makes great coffee. Easy to use and infinitely quieter than my previous one (the 3200) I haven't tried all the options but I like that they are available. The bean hopper also holds more than previous version so I'm not filling it up every day. I do wish the water tank was bigger !

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This coffee machine is seriously fantastic. I've always wanted a machine that was really simple to use without the faff of grinding beans or the expense of buying pods etc, plus no faff to clean it out all the time etc. Thank goodness Philips have done a great job with this machine and at such a reasonable price too. I worked out I'll have saved the cost of the machine within a year from not having to buy coffee on the way to work a couple of times a week. So the machine itself looks very stylish with its chrome metal and big colour touch sensitive buttons that light up. Some of the silvery bits on the front are actually plastic but the drip tray cover is metal. So overall close-up it is a little plasticky but that's not the end of the world and is functional. Setup was great with this machine. I couldn't actually get the Philips app working initially (later seemed to fix itself) which is a shame as it directs you to do that for setup videos etc. So I just unpacked it all, put it together and then switched it on. Thankfully the screen talked me through the whole step-by-step. So easy to just follow what it told me on the screen and job done. Using the machine is really simple, just switch it on, select your drink and the machine does it all for you. Theres a few commonly used drinks on the main screen or you can go into "more drinks" for a further selection of hot and cold options. Its a bit of a shame you can't change the main drink options as I quite like cafe latte or cafe au lait but have to go into "other drinks" for those. No real hardship though. So the machine is really well made and planned out meaning you just tip the whole beans in the top, fill the water tank, add milk to the frother if required for the specific drink, and then that's it. The machine grinds the beans, pours the coffee, steams the milk, empties the used beans and afterwards rinses itself out. There's no messiness and no manual involvement after starting it up. Just every now and then refill the water tank, empty the drip tray or the coffee ground bin when the machine tells you. Even the milk container can be lifted off and stored in the fridge if any leftover milk, and as for cleaning the milk container, it literally comes apart in seconds and you rinse it under the tap. Its a really clever design meaning no nooks and crannies for milk to hide in and go off. A little tip with the machine, I found the coffee wasn't quite hot enough coming out so in the settings menu you can change the temp (low, medium or high, default is medium). I changed it to high but also added the machine pre-heat option so now it comes out perfect for me. Overall this machine has been a real gamechanger for me. I drink way more coffee than I ever used to since it tastes so nice now and is so quick and easy to make. My old machine used ground beans meaning mess and faff buying them ground or grinding them myself, tamping them down, disposing of them afterwards, not to mention manually steaming the milk and having to wipe and wash nozzles afterwards etc. Compared to that, this machine has blown me away with its simplicity and how user focussed it has obviously been developed to be. I'd highly recommend this machine to anyone, you honestly won't be poor disappointed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a fanatics item! Super easy to set up & to use. This has so many settings for you to make a delicious cuppa, whether you like hot or cold beverages. It's looks super sleek and would enhance any kitchen. A must have!!

Had this item for 3 months and it has worked flawlessly. Makes great espresso and lattes. Easy to maintain and clean.

Ease of use. Coffee drinks come out hot, unlike high end machines I've had. Very pleased so far!

It's a great coffee machine but the cap is covered in scratches.

Bought this to make custom drinks. The milk frother is chinsy and loud and the steam mostly rises in front of the electronics which seems odd. The profiles are the most annoying part because you can't actually program the steps of a drink. I think the espresso is good enough and it's fairly quick but I run each program separately to make an americano even though there's a button for it because I like two or three shots a little water and a splash of milk foam and the “profile” doesn't save.

This coffee machine is quiet and easy to use. Unfortunately, it makes weak coffee that is lukewarm. I would return it but I past the window of 30 days to return it.

Do not buy this machine. I spent 4 hours on the phone with Philips support because the machine wouldn't take water. They initially said it shipped without a seal and after 90 minutes on the phone we hung up. I did some looking and it in fact did have a seal. Called back, another 60+ minute call and now the filter is bad. Why a brand new filter is bad is beyond me. It doesn't nothing but leak and it's very loud when trying to take the water in.
