Philips 2200 Automatic Espresso and Cappuccino Machine with LatteGo Milk Frother

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is truly an amazing coffee machine! I am always hesitant to buy coffee makers because we have very hard well water. This machine is fully prepared for that!! It comes with a water hardness test strip and you set the machine to accommodate for the hardness of your water. Then the machine lets you know when you need to clean it. It is very easy to set up. It comes with instructions but I suggest you scan the QR code that takes you to the website where you can watch videos that show you how to do everything with the machine including set up. It makes lots of different types of drinks with my favorite being cappuccinos and espresso with cream! You can also make single cups of coffee and dispense hot water for hot tea. I love that you can adjust the size of your cup and the strength of the coffee. I have tried many different types of milk frothers over the years and this latte to go system is by far the best! You just pour in your milk and the machine does the rest. Clean up takes NO time. You just rinse it under running water. It froths milk beautifully and I found that the Simply brand of almond milk also makes beautiful froth which is exciting because half of my family is unable to consume regular cows milk. Like every other espresso machine I've encountered this one is loud too but not overwhelming loud. I have 9 cats and none of them have been scared by the noise. I have successfully made espresso with others sleeping and not woken them up. There are detailed cleaning and maintenance instructions included and available as videos online to keep the machine in perfect working order. I have found all of this to be very easy. The brew group is easy to remove, clean, and reinsert. In summary, I could not be happier with this coffee maker! It's easy to use and maintain and saves me so much money on coffee.
