What customers like about Philips EP5547/90

  • The built-in grinder with 12 settings grinds beans just before brewing.
  • The automatic milk frother with a milk container makes cappuccino and latte macchiato at the touch of a button.
  • The 15 bar pump gives the coffee pressure for a strong cup.
  • User profiles let each person keep their own settings.
  • The water filter helps the taste stay clean and slows limescale.
  • The two-cup function brews two drinks at once.

What customers don't like about Philips EP5547/90

  • No app control, so every setting is made on the machine.
  • No iced coffee program for cold drinks.
  • No steam wand for frothing milk by hand.
  • No capsule option, so pods are out.
  • The 275 g bean container needs topping up often in a busy house.

Verdict

One machine for ground coffee, milk drinks and a touch screen: the Philips EP5547/90 suits a busy household. It has a built-in grinder with 12 settings and a 275 g bean container, so you grind fresh for each cup. A 15 bar pump and a 1500 W heater sit behind the coffee, and the milk container with its automatic frother handles cappuccino and latte macchiato. User profiles mean each person in the house can keep their own settings. A water filter, a two-cup function and a touch screen cover the daily routine. The trade-off is that there is no app and no iced coffee program. It suits a family or a shared kitchen where people want different drinks from one machine without extra kit.
