Maybe I'm just by myself on this, but I read all these reviews raving on this machine and I just don't see it. We've tried several different beans, grinder settings, milks, etc and just never have any consistency. Use it to make two drinks on avg a day for 9 months now. Maybe 1 drink a week do we say, "hey, that's decent … how did you do that?" Try again and nope.
I got this for our anniversary and if I didn't have this sunk cost of this machine, I would go back or purchase another machine. Just not that good or worth the price. Flame suit on … so go ahead and torch me that I don't know good coffee or machines. My body is ready.
If you like what you are getting with it then there's no need to switch. But if you go to a nice coffee shop and find what they make is better or more interesting than what you can make at home, then this is worth trying. Another thing to consider is the whole single use pod aspect, I don't like this K-Cup model, so much waste.
I have a different super-automatic and a pour-over setup, and I really don't spend money at Starbucks and whatnot anymore as I can make something just as good if not better at home for a fraction of the price.

It really is. Bought it at the start of the pandemic when I couldn't go to my favorite cafes anymore. It's been a great investment
This one or the Breville barista is better?

Is this still made by Philips? I think Phillips sold most of consumer sector and keep focusing on the medical industry.
The other drawback is it's just not all that customizable, so you may have to hit 2 cycles to get what you want. My current favorite is a latte and then I'll add an extra longer shot to it.
