Very disappointed with this machine. It does not froth enough milk for even a small cup of coffee. If I want to have a normal size coffee I have to start with a cup almost full of pre heated milk. 😤

I have had the machine for 2 months and overall I am happy with tbe machine.
1 thing I dont like is the fact that it does not cater for bigger mugs

Response from Staples :
It’s completely understandable to feel disappointed when the milk froth isn’t meeting your expectations, especially if you were hoping for a fuller, creamier result.
Just to check the basics, have you already increased the milk foam settings to the highest level? Sometimes adjusting those settings can make a noticeable difference.
If you’ve already tried that or if you’d like someone to walk you through the options, our support team is happy to help.
Kind regards,

Don't buy it
This machine takes awhile for it and you to work out what a good coffee is, but once that is achieved you get a Lovely cup of coffee. Although I'm really not happy with it being 40% quieter than most machines🤣well that's a joke as every mechanism and process of making a coffee can be heard throughout the whole house, waking anyone that isn't 🤫I've also made complaints...

Easy peasy Latte and more!
So easy to set up and my wife and I were preparing our favourite Lattes in no time. The manual and online videos are excellent and simple to follow. There are more complex options for fine tuning your drinks if needed but we soon realised the lattego system works great and even though I like my latte stronger than my wife I only have to choose level 3 strength instead o...

Espress-Oh
The Philips Series 2300 Espresso Machine has completely upgraded my morning routine! It brews the perfect blend every time with just one touch, and the LatteGo system makes a good cream foam with barely any cleanup. I love how easy it is to customize my drinks, and the ceramic grinder ensures fresh, rich flavor in every cup. It’s like having a coffee shop at home that i...

Handy little automatic coffee machine
We’ve been using the Philips 2300 for two weeks now, and it’s already a non-negotiable part of our morning routine. My partner and I both love our lattes first thing, and this machine delivers — consistently, quickly, and without the usual morning chaos.

Philips makes the morning easy!
This machine makes the regular morning coffee process much easier. With nothing more than just a touch of a button the machine filters the water, grind the coffee beans and pours heated water through to make a delicious cup of coffee.
The machine has an easy to use milk frother for cappuccinos, can make single/double espressos, 1-2 coffees or simply hot water.

Philips 2300 Series Auto Coffee Machine
Having used a capsule coffee machine at home for many years, I was excited to try the Philips 2300 Series Automatic Coffee Machine in hopes of having a more café-like coffee experience at home. Setting up the machine was straightforward thanks to a Philips YouTube video (not the printed instructions in the box). The 2300 offers a few coffee options, but doesn't include ...

Absolute gamechanger!
I have absolutely loved using the Phillips coffee machine! I have been using it multiple times a day almost every single day! I have stopped buying a coffee on the way to work and instead make one at home before I go. I was previously using a big name brand pod machine and it was nice, dont get me wrong, but this is just so much better! Nothing compares to fresh ground ...

Very disappointed
I really wanted to love this coffee machine. I used it extensively. Trying all different things. Different beans. I made so many coffees and it was just coming out weak. I had a Nespresso pod machine using cheap Victoria pods and even that was stronger and more coffee like. I’ve tried changing the bean setting (and it is definitely a stronger brew). But almost to the po...

Response from Staples :
Thank you for your rating and review of the Fully automatic espresso machine model EP2331/30.
On behalf of the Philips team, I would like to thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us.
We are sorry that our product did not fully meet your expectations and for the experience you had with it. Undoubtedly, your satisfaction is of paramount importance to us, and we are deeply sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.
What you describe is normal for new coffee machines as they need to go through a self-adjustment period of a few days. The taste of the coffee will improve as you make more cups and the pods produced will gradually become less watery.
This can also happen when you change the type of coffee beans and when you use the machine after a long period of inactivity.
You can also see how to adjust the milk quantity by checking the "Personalized drinks" section of the user manual.
If you need more help with this we encourage you to contact us via our website support page https://www.home.id/support.
Kind regards,

Ok where do I start- I currently use a cafe style coffee machine, I have 3-4 cups of coffee a day normally just a latte, the latte go by Phillips is smaller and more sleek then my machine however the milk part is really quite fiddly and I feel even after playing with the settings I can’t get the coffee to be an actual nice sized coffee. I love the side water holder inst...

I tried espresso, coffee, cappuccino all with a single touch. My house smelled soo good. The machine self cleans in 10 seconds and is also dishwasher safe. Cafe style coffee at ho...

Firstly I love the look of the machine, has made a great addition to the kitchen counter. I have used this machine everyday for my morning coffee, and it makes a great espresso and long black. I would recommend taking the time alter the settings to your liking, it did take a bit to get the grinder settings right and water temp for best cup. I do find the long cup can be...
