I've posted my initial review a couple times, but thought I'd modify it based on some feedback and further thoughts.
There are a couple design "flaws" and a a couple design "annoyances," but ultimately I think it's a good machine.
It looks nice and even with all it's flaws/annoyances; it is significantly more convenient than having to grind the beans yourself, pour the grinded beans into the coffee filter in a machine, pour water into a coffee machine, wait for it to brew, and then clean the pot and filter every day. The milk frother is also clutch.
For those curious, here are the flaws & "annoyances" I've found;
Main flaw - The coffee bean hooper is poorly designed and it doesn't have an alert to "refill."
I've posted photos demonstrating this in prior threads, but due to it's shallow design not all the coffee beans make their way to the grinder. Worst yet, the machine doesn't alert you when it's out of beans, so you won't know you need to refill (or push beans towards the grinder) unless you manually check yourself before each pour or you unfortunately notice that it's just spitting out hot water into your cup.
Annoyances;
(1) The fresh water reservoir is small (you can make maybe 10 cups before needing to fill it up). Someone pointed out that this isn't necessarily that bad because it ensures that the water doesn't become stale (i.e. old water being in there too long), which is true -- but if you are a household that has multiple people using the machine it'll require you to fill it up daily (sometimes multiple times a day). It's at least convenient and easy to refill.
(2) The machine cleans itself when you turn it on and when you turn it off, and this causes the "drip tray" to fill up, requiring you to empty it out often -- within 3 or 4 uses. It's nice that the machine "self cleans," but this causes the waste water to pool in the "dip tray" which then requires you to empty it fairly frequently. Not sure if I'd say this is a design flaw per se, but it certainly a nuisance and makes the machine certainly not "effortless."
(3) Efficiency of the beans. I'm not 100% sure yet about this one, but I've been going through my beans very fast.
I've already gone through 3lbs in a month, and that amount would normally last me a few months using my french press or traditional drip machine. It makes me question the efficiency of bean use; perhaps the machine doesn't soak the water in the grinded beans as long as it should and thus uses too many beans -- not sure.
I haven't found any good alternatives to the Philips LatteGo that aren't over $1k, so I'd recommend to purchase this if you're looking for a decent FULLY automated machine.

Yes Sir, I already did. Please try searching this forum, reddit and there are many FB users group as well. You'll see that this is a legit site. It ships from Tennessee.
But I don't blame you for doubting the website. In today's world one needs to be vigilante.

After only waiting a couple of days for an email, the unit arrived prior to an email saying it was sent.
Haven't setup the machine yet but was stoked that it came after being such a great price. Thumbs up OP. Hope I like the machine but glad it wasn't a scam.
