This unit doesn't have the milk reservoir, so it's easier cleanup. The LatteGo has a milk container that is dishwasher safe. On my LatteGo I only use the milk reservoir a few times a year when we have company over. It's all americanos and espresso shots for my wife and I.
The unit for sale is an absolute strong recommendation at this price if you're looking for an easy to use super automatic and have minimal use case for milk based beverages. Dump decent beans and water in, plug it in, and you get solid coffee.
If I pore through images and product descriptions on various sites, I think the main differences between the three are:
-all three are AquaClean compatible, but only the 2200 actually includes the AquaClean filter. The 800 and 1200 don't show it installed in the water tank in the 3/4 view, and some sites say it is sold separately (about $30 on Amazon).
-the 800 has more black trim than chrome trim, namely the drip tray grille and around where the coffee comes out. The 2200 also has additional chrome bezel around the touch display. I suspect the materials might be more plasticky than metal-ly for the black trim vs chrome bits...
I suspect the innards, esp the brew group, ceramic grinder, etc, are essentially the same from the 800 all the way up to the 5400, a lot of the internal replacement parts are the same across the lineup. Mainly a matter of drink selection options and customization of settings....

This sure seems like a slick deal since it makes both coffee and espresso.
Anyone familiar with the Terrakaffe and build quality compared with Phillips?

This Costco machine is pretty basic, but it's $320 and it's Costco so very low risk to try. At this price, get it as a backup option.
I plan to get this, and if I use it and fully quit using the other espresso setup, sell it all and call it a day.

This guy's like a coffee snob and leans more on quality of taste comparing to more expensive brands.
This deal is tempting because it looks like it has a bypass doser - where you can drop in some of your own ground coffee instead of using the beans in the hopper and the machines built in grinder.
Anyways, tempted to get one of the new series, but I also realized the new Philips models are like an inch taller at 14.75", and my upper cabinets have a 2" skirt that drops down to 14" where I prefer to have the machine. So either shift it completely under and inside the cabinet skirt, 16" clearance but then very difficult to add beans, ,or move away from the upper cabinet but then it's partially obscuring a window....sigh
I am still doing the pour over method. Was looking into getting something automatic that makes decent quality coffee.
