This is my first coffee-machine; So far, I was of the opinion that it also does a simple machine ..
But I must say, the coffee really tastes different and definitely better than cooked with my conventional coffee. He is very nice and hot and the crema is also perfect.
The manual is easy to understand, but I did not really need it, because the display is clear and really shows everything.
One has the possibility to choose different coffee strengths, grinding degrees or beans, or simply used directly ground coffee. Since you should still try a little, until you get the coffee then so has how to really like him.
The Tasssengröße and strength of the coffee, as well as the temperature are individually einzustellbar and can then be stored, so you do not always have to reconfigure everything.
The milk foam you get not so simple; to foam the so-called Panarello is necessary. In addition, you can prepare with the nozzle and hot water, which I find very convenient because it can my kettle remain in the closet.
The cleaning and descaling works automatically; I enjoyed that.
So in a nutshell: With the Philips Saeco you get delicious hot coffee or espresso, one can be prepared individually for every taste.
One, thanks to colored and backlit display, easy-to-use coffee machine that stores all settings, so you immediately get coffee or espresso as you drink it the most.
