Philips HD 8654 Series 2100 Easy Cappuccino

Advantages: Low stock price - 21000r.
Availability of automatic cappuccinator. (poorly implemented)
declared ceramic millstones

Disadvantages: 1. low build quality: all covers are loose, containers have no clear grooves. It feels like it was done at a very old factory or by very old tolerances.
2. It follows from the previous one - a feeling of fragility and cheapness. The price without a stock of 45,000 is completely inadequate. for this amount 22360
3. The water container does not have a lid. For me, this is a minus - it is easier to pour water, and it is easier to get into the container for kitchen living things. If you pour water from a jug - then maybe this is a plus.
4. Kapuchinator separate, not having a washing mode. Those. it is not a problem to make several mugs in a row, after it you have to disassemble and wash it manually. before you put in the fridge. those. for many, it will be easier to take a model without a cappuccinator and make a cappuccino vapor in a mug.
5. Requires clarification. in three places gave different information. The instructions indicate that the brewing unit should be washed once a month, but at least 500 mugs. This is normal. it is worse that after each washing the brewing unit needs to be lubricated with special grease, which needs to be bought in service. In other machines, it is easier and lubrication, although more difficult, but many times less.
6. small water tank capacity - 1 liter. For several cups a day already adds troubles.
I do not advise buying online - see it first live.

Comment: This review is for customers like me from the network. Because Model is really no reviews, I will write at least this. without operating experience. Picked up the machine in the office. Prior to that, possessed delongs 22.360 I saw how it seemed to me a great offer on a typewriter with an automatic cappuccinator in one of the chain stores. I wanted to pay and just pick it up, but I decided to stop by to look before paying. The first thing that I was very surprised about is the fragility of the structure. What has both the display of machines. For me, this is an indicator of plant level. I hope this fragility has only a visual minus. I compare with delongi cars of the same price category everything is clear and creates a feeling of greater reliability. Serious troubles were also strained. Those. just wash the brewing unit does not roll - you need to also lubricate. Cappuccino maker
after long careless exploitation, when it was not calcined for several months and never washed for almost 2 years, it still stopped working and asked to be serviced.Repaired under warranty, works on already at the head of the house. Honestly, I thought that the delongs are bad, plus several acquaintances with the same level of service, they also died - that is, in the office when no one cares for her break. I thought something simpler in maintenance to look at and for myself I wanted a cappuccino with one button. For the price this machine was interested in, the last delongs were also taken on the stock for 25 now it costs 45. Delonghi has a flush mode i. made a cappuccino chose the flushing mode and you can put the container in the fridge, if you don’t rinse, then the cappuccino may not work again - the foam will not rise. Phillips has no washing at all - it will have to be washed by hand. Some kind of toyishness has frightened off compared to the delongs, and the need to rinse the cappuccinator reduces to nothing plus to prepare a cappuccino without any problems. Refused. I choose next. I recommend to check the indicated disadvantages before buying.

Advantages: I liked the fact that a nice price is an automatic cappuccinator =)

Disadvantages: Slightly noisy coffee grinder but it is almost in every coffee machine. If you compare it with Delonghi, then it will be louder because of the metal coffee grinder that gives coffee a bitterness =)

Comment: As a user of this beautiful coffee machine, I love the softer and more refined taste of coffee, which gives ceramic millstones and can not give the metal grinder Delonghi. What is very convenient to push the water tank, it moves forward and put on the front side of the car. and not like on many machines above, this is very inconvenient, since you can accidentally spill water when installed on the machine itself. One of the most compact models. All the settings you need here is, and this is memorizing the volume of coffee, grinding.

Advantages: Everything is good, foam resistant, thick.

Disadvantages: Incomprehensible adjustment of the fortress
Low, high latte cup do not insert

Comment: Everything is super, makes cappuccino, latte, espresso, americano.
2 drinks (one dairy other without milk) makes for a given volume by pressing only one button. Connecting the milk tank is not the most convenient, but does not cause difficulties. Everything is turned off, conveniently removed. Tray for water for 2-3 circles 250 ml.
It is easy to clean, the manual is better read carefully in advance, but it is possible and in the process of operation gradually.
Verdict: if you like foam, then this is your option. Inexpensive and does everything for 5+. I do not regret the choice. There is nothing to compare with, only the capsule was, but the capsules are no match.

Advantages: Price
Automatic cappuccinator

Disadvantages: Noisy. But again, this is not really its minus, but rather my desire so that it does not make much noise in the mornings, because it grinds the grain))).
If you have a small child or some other reason for not making noise in the morning, do not buy such devices at all)

Comment: I bought my wife for the new year. Very pleased. The child wakes up in the morning with everyone, so we don’t pay attention to the noise. Take coffee more expensive taste will be such that it will not admit any coffee shop.
