Phillips is a super automattic.
This is a semi automatic.
The main difference is that it will auto froth the milk for you.
The breville does but you technically need to fill the cup each time. Also breville allows you to manually froth if you wish.
I have the breville, and we had a saeco Incanto (which is a super auto similar to the phillips) before.
I believe our saeco actually broke after about a year. Theres definitely more parts obviously.
My big take away was that you constantly had to clean out the milk container which easily got pretty nasty, you can put the container in the fridge but still.
Also we drink large coffees, yeti cups etc the milk container often had to be refilled every morning.
The super required more cleaning cycles and such naturally. I dont recall exactly, but it just wasnt nearly as convenient as youd hope for. Not to mention it broke.
The breville requires a little trial and error to set up.
As someone else stated, i bought an extension for the portafilter, dosing funnel its called. To help keep the grinds in.
I also bought a better tamper, bc im a noob and it helps me get the pressure right.
The breville is close to fully auto,
Cleaning and such is far less common and pretty easy.
Its been pretty reliable and makes some great coffee.

Macy's has 15% cashback today again if you want to save another $120 off the $800 on their site
I brought this a few years back because it had the super fast heating element (no need to warm up the machine like some other models) and an automatic milk frother.
The convenience of being able to froth my milk while tamping and then immediately able to brew has made Lattes a daily thing. Great machine, though I'd recommend setting the internal grind setting down one notch.

Not sure if these are the terms but they don't read very promising and it's maxed out at $100. Which means 15% cashback would gain you more.
