Just got mine and love it! This is my first fully automated coffee machine and i must say i regret not getting one years ago. Good review of all the drinks. Thanks
I received my 5400 today! I'm so excited! I have to learn what I like and what settings to use. This is by far the most sophisticated machine I've ever had.
@@gosman949 I think it's just as good. I have to make a drink twice to get as large a drink as I'm used to. I also have caramel syrup to add flavor when I want.
My milk volume is not the volume it says, but espresso seems to be about correct. 6oz of milk with foam is about the same volume as 2oz of espresso. Is yours the same?
Update the thicker the liquid the less gets frothed. So thinner milk may be correct. It's working great so far, and strong enough I don't use extra shot. And I just raised my grind setting/larger. This is a good thing. I recommend so far. I'm thinking of buying an extra carafe, one for milk, one for flavored creamer.
Very helpful video as I will receive my 5400 shortly. I am a little confused with the 2 cup option for lattes, cappuccinos, etc. Does the the system mix and fill two cups simultaneously or does it pause while changing cups, or neither?
Technically you can with any machine. Just add the ice to the cup....the dilution is the problem . So set your espresso to very strong, maybe a double shot with low liquid volume and play around with it
How does it compare with Gaggia Accademia? I have a Gaggia Accademia for 10 years and just started to leak. I placed an order for the 5400, will I regret not going with a Gaggia again? Very happy with the Gaggia in the last 10 years, made me 12k beverages.
Question can u use the latte setting w the travel mug? Or my actual question is can u use the milk froth with the travel mug at the same time u brew what u want?
hmmm.. Very different machines, the barista pro has the ability to make better espresso BUT it takes more work to get there, the philips will produce a nice espresso at the press of a button
Great video! I was wondering, are there any more differences between the Philips 5400 and the 4300 except for the different display, 3 extra coffee varieties, 2 more user profiles, and the option for the extra shot of espresso? Thanks!
order depends on the drink. And you can choose a double shot as an option. As for the flat white, you are correct. However we did this video. ruclips.net/video/kt0o5kqYX40/видео.html
How often does it have to go through the rinse cycle? My parents are complaining about how it has to go through a rinse cycle every single morning and I’m wondering if they’re just not using it correctly. It’s really the only reason I’m hesitant. I want my coffee fast in the morning. I don’t want to have to go through this rinsing cycle everyday.
This machine will rinse the coffee spout every time it is turned on or off. There is no way to turn off this function and every super automatic espresso machine will do the same thing. It is only about a 5-10 second rinse
I've noticed the machine did not prompt to empty the drip tray, it was completely full but no prompts to empty it out.. is there something wrong with my machine?
It is loud! We state that actually in the 3200 video and have another video with a noise meter. Haivng said that, the kitchen we were in. had concrete ceiling and brick walls which created an echo.
@@greveeen Wayyy to loud... though, not unlike some on the market. *It is inherent within the design of the machine, based on previous models and is a flaw that the* *manufacturer simply never addressed nor improved upon.*
When will this unit be available in the US and about what price range? If I purchase through you, do you ship and if so, what are your shipping fees? Thank you.
Can someone kindly please explain the middle and third setting please? Starting off with the middle one, is this setting for what size cup im using? Or the amount of water? .. and third setting, is this the amount of foam? Or milk?
Is it just me,but it's not easy paying full attention with the lady standing next to the gentleman. She's the main reason I chose to watch this review. Planning on buy one. Thanks for the review and eye candy.:))
Hi, I saw on the comments that you prefer the delonghi dinamica plus over this philips 5400. I’ve heard you can’t do 2 shots at a time on that machine, like how Philips can. Is that true? It wasn’t clear to me in the video you guys made on the delonghi. Also, compared to a semi auto like breville barista touch, is the espresso quality much less? Or just a little less? Lol Thanks in advance.
So... The issue with this is that espresso machines need to rinse when they turn on, so if you put your mug there then the water will rinse into your mug, and pour the beverage over top.
hi i am thinking of getting one but whats descaling the machine mean does it mean the machine wont last and will break down at some point ???? and can i make a normal coffee and milk together on this machine ??
Every machine requires descaling to clean the internal tanks and heating areas. It is a pretty simple process. Normal coffee is a relative term. If you were in Europe, then yes. It does not make a drip style coffee like you would get at a local McCafe, Tim Hortons or Dunkin Donuts.
@@ecscoffeeinc ok when i said normal i mean like can the machine do just coffee like you do with instant and add milk with it from the machine or do you have to add the milk manually after its brewed i hope that cleared it up
@@ecscoffeeinc thank you for replying. This is correct, I tried to use it but it did not work the coffee drink was so much light and I founded a little coffee powder split out inside the machine, maybe you could share with us a video demo stating how to use the machine for decaf coffee.
Is it possible to explain the difference between coffee and americano? I understand that the americano is a shot of espresso and then clean water, is the only difference that with coffee all of the water goes through the puck and how does that affect the taste? Thanks!
You are correct in your description. It really is a personal taste. I do not like Americano's as I like more flavour by having the water continue to go through the puck. But honestly everyone is different.
@@philipjc1 The machine will be approximately the same temperature! We suggest trying the machine before buying. You may end up being disappointed with the temperature again. Alternatively, a super automatic with a frothing wand allows you to have a hotter latte/cappuccino!
My EP5443/90 seems to be jammed/stuck but not in the way anyone would imagine - when I use normal coffee (second option) it gives few seconds of normal flow and then starts drop-by-drop like its jammed, takes 3-4 mins to fill my cup up, so by that time its not that hot, but it flows fairly normally when trying espresso (first option). Fairly, not great. I tried replacing filter, washed brew group (or what that thing's called from the side), still same problem, tried without filter, same thing. what else? machine is just few days old and was doing this from the start
Quick question for you. I got my Philips 5400 yesterday in the mail and absolutely love it, now that I have experimented with some settings. The cappuccino really has a nice delivery of flavor and presentation. If I wanted to try and make a mochaccino how might I go about that ? I tried a little chocolate syrup at the very bottom of the coffee cup in which the frothed milk hits it first (before the expresso shot) but it doesn't mix well. can I use the carafe and throw some syrup in with the milk so that it gets mixed as it froths ? Outside of that it worked really well and I've got an assortment of different expresso beans showing up today !!
Don't use the carafe...will be a pain to clean. Instead rim the cup with syrup as if you spilled.paont down the sides of the cup. Then throw in some.hot cocoa powder and mix as the drink comes out
I have the 3100 and I find that even when I warm up my cup in advance with boiling water, the milk based Latte is not very hot. Is there some kind of consumer regulation that limits the milk temperature? (I have it set to the maximum)? How do you find the temperature of milk based drinks in the 5400?
Always tough on a Superauto to get very hot milk we find. Regardless of brand, this is not just a Philips thing. I am fine with the temperature of the milk on the 5400 but it really is a personal thing. I would try it out at a store to make sure it works for you.
How is the taste of the non-milk drinks, i.e. espresso, coffee, americano, etc., compared to other super automatic machines you have used/tested? I am interested in a super automatic due to convenience over semiautomatic machines, but for me personally the taste quality of the espresso and coffee produced is the most important factor in making a purchasing decision. Thank you for your review and any additional input / recommendations you can provide.
Pretty good. We didn't dial in every drink to perfectoion level but will really be dependent on the beans, and setting.you own levels. Recommend go to a store and see one in action if possible ...if near us, we are happy to make you some drinks
@@ecscoffeeinc Thank you for your response. Yes, wish I lived near you or another similar coffee gear shop where I could actually sample espresso/coffee from different machines, but none in my area. So, just have to go on others reviews/options. I realize that makes it difficult as taste is subjective for sure, but hoped to rely on more experts input/opinion at lest if there are any significant differences at all between machines, having tested with the same beans to keep the controllable things as consistent as possible, that do seem to produce more consistent quality taste/flavor in espresso and other non-milk coffee type drinks - as milk can mask somewhat the actual taste quality of the espresso for me. Anyway, thank you again as do appreciate your response back and input provided.
Descale every 5,000 coffees!!!! That’s awesome. I had a Miele built in coffee machine and was Constantly descaling that thing. Purchased two of them because the first one broke down so I bought the second one and it broke down too, the time frame for both were from 2009-2020. Never again for the built in kind for me.
So, "descaling"? Costs how much? I guess an arm and a leg. I'm using a drip coffee maker, and I'm so in market to buy one of these, but I feel like the maintenance cost is gonna be high...?
Funny I just noticed that yesterday. Good news is we have another video coming that is just the drinks only (shorter version) and it is in there. Launching soon
@@ecscoffeeinc Cool Beans, Looking for a good machine. I see that this model isn't available yet in the US. Wonder if it is really expensive to ship from Canada to the US went it comes out in Canada?
Wait so the milk is not hot!? Has anyone have to reheat the coffee due to the milk not being hot enough?? This is important I love piping hot coffee? Ty
Great video review, really helpful…. Apart from the super annoying loud music over the top!! When reviewing coffee machines, I want to hear the actual machine to determine how noisy it it.
Hi thanks for the video. Mine stopped using ground coffee anymore. It works like everything is ok but the only outcome is hot water, and the ground coffe turns into a puck, thats it. Do you have any guess about how to fix it? Thank you!
I’m glad they added the milk froth only option which is missing from their 3200 series and why I didn’t purchase it. It’s essential for my matcha green tea lattes!
3200 has milk froth life hack, we use it all the time. 1) don't put in ground coffee 2) select latte with ground coffee 3) after it finishes pouring the milk hit Cancel before it pours water.
@@botWi yes! I came to say this! I love chai latte and steamed milk in my hot chocolate. Family got together and bought my cousin a 3200 when they first came out two years ago and everybody loves it.
@@guioom1 it does not affect it. I disassembled it once to make a full clean wash, it is pretty simple mechanism. Cancelling an operation won't do anything.
I love my coffees extremely hot so my questions are: 1. How hot (in ºC) is the water on "high"? 2. How hot does the milk come out? and 3. Is the spout adjustable - up and down?
I don't have an exact temp. Have a look at this video. ruclips.net/video/lj_gtaUDKqM/видео.html You may want to go to a manual machine which gives you more control over temp.
How would you compare this one with the siemens eq500? Is it that bad to not have a frothing wand? Please convince me to click the “Buy” button already 😅
Hi Betina from denmark here. I Own this nice maschine but need information about using and choosing pre Ground coffé, to rinse for Oil? I Can not find it anywhere.. 😅
@@ecscoffeeinc And how would you compare it with other machines you were testing? I've seen some comments where people were complying that that Philips is simply loud - far to loud for this price range...
@@1234asdf31 The Philips 5400 is as loud as some other machines in this price range! If you're close to one of our location pop in for a demo to hear it in person :)
Seimens Home Connect TQ703GB7 - £1.119 Delonghi Prinadonna Class - £919 Which one do you thinks better? it seems the Delonghi can do more drinks. the delonghi has a smaller milk container of 500ml where as seimens has 700ml. Delonghi uses Bluetooth and Seimens uses Wifi, do you think theres a better or doesnt it really matter with coffee machines? im still thinking the Delonghi is the one for me.
If you go up in water volume (more coffee) will the machine also grind more beans to keep grams to ml ratio the same? Or wil it just pump more water through the same amount of beans?
@@ecscoffeeinc Okay. So thats way it tastes like dog water. But on my machine i cant set grams to ml ratio. Its just strength and amount of coffee. Also when i choose 120ml milk it gives me like 60ml. I got the 4300. I bought it to save time. I usually brew with the V60 and grind with the Comandante C40 so i am very disappointed that this 600euro machine cant make a decent cup of coffee. It just cant measure against the slow brew. Really thinking about returning it. Anyway thanks for the reply without an answer 😜
I also have the 4300 LatteToGo. It does not grind more or less beans. I believe the amount of beans grinded is exactly the same for all drinks. But using different amounts of water would make the drink stronger or weaker.
Thanks for this review. The 5400 looks great, it is on top of my list together with the Gaggia Magenta Prestige. Have any of you tried the Gaggia one? How does it stand against the 5400? Thanks
@@reconforsales7708 This machine does have a bypass chute for preground coffee! But you will want it to be ground for espresso, so pretty fine. This machine can't make hot chocolate as a pre programmed drink, but you can make hot chocolate on this machine by putting your powder or sauce at the bottom of your mug and selecting the "hot milk" or "milk foam" drink option and then stirring :)
Hmmm. subjective question. A lot of people prefer the control of manual and claim better coffee. I have to agree that with a manual and some practice it will be better. If it were not the case then all the cafe's would use Superautomatics.

it has two nozzles for two cups you put two cups side by side and the same coffee will be poured through the two nozzles and into the two cups
Can you set it up to turn on on a specific time in the morning?
No not that I'm aware of.
It's very fast.
how does it compare to a Gaggia Cadorna and a DeLonghi Dinamica Plus. Thank you
See other response from your other post
In your opinion is this machine better than the gaggia magenta prestige ? I’m thinking of buying one
@@bh2o Thanks for your opinion. I have noticed that none of the "reviews" of the Philips super-automatics on u-toob do they actually taste the coffee.
Would there be a way to make an over ice drink even although this doesn't have an over ice function?
Technically you can with any machine. Just add the ice to the cup....the dilution is the problem . So set your espresso to very strong, maybe a double shot with low liquid volume and play around with it

tough call on longevity... Gaggia is a great machine. I would be curious to hear your thoughts on the Philips.
Question, sizes on a regular coffee? Can you make a 12 oz coffee ?
I just got it and found that “one cup” fills half a regular sized cup. So I adjusted it to two cups while making my coffee latte.

Thanks for the video! I'm looking at the 4347 w/ LatteGo. How would I go about making a Flat White with this machine?
The 4300 does not do a Flat white. Just the 5400. :(
Don't know why you skipped doing the flat white and went to café latte. ???
Funny I just noticed that yesterday. Good news is we have another video coming that is just the drinks only (shorter version) and it is in there. Launching soon
@@ecscoffeeinc Cool Beans, Looking for a good machine. I see that this model isn't available yet in the US. Wonder if it is really expensive to ship from Canada to the US went it comes out in Canada?
Could you please tell if this machine has a cup warmer? Thanks!
Not an active one
@@ecscoffeeinc Thanks a mil
Wait so the milk is not hot!? Has anyone have to reheat the coffee due to the milk not being hot enough?? This is important I love piping hot coffee? Ty
Why is this machine unavailable to buy anywhere? Was it recalled or poor sales?
Nope..Just supply chain issues..we get them in limited numbers and they sell out.
@@ecscoffeeinc thanks for confirming this. I was thinking it didn’t sell and folks went with the 4300 model the most.
YESSSSS
Finally a review of a super auto which shows us all drinks with brew time.
Thanks guys.
Does the milk container have double wall?
No. Plastic.
Can you put that milk container in fridge?
Yes you can
Hi, just wanted to know is it made of plastic?
There is plastic components through most of the machine
I'm curious, how does this machine compare to Gaggia Cadorna Prestige? They're kinda in the same price range in my country.
Great video! I am wondering what the grind is set on when it come out of the box. Is it the finest grind or?
Usually in the middle
Great video review, really helpful…. Apart from the super annoying loud music over the top!! When reviewing coffee machines, I want to hear the actual machine to determine how noisy it it.
Is the froth consistency the same for all milk drinks?
it changes per drink
Can it froth milk cold for iced drinks?
Not cold unfortunately but they have a new brewer coming soon. It does cold brew just not sure about the milk yet till we see it
The sound drops out at 13:00 but comes back at 14:48? Thanks for the review!
Unfortunately due to a copyright issue, RUclips muted a portion of the video.
Hi thanks for the video. Mine stopped using ground coffee anymore. It works like everything is ok but the only outcome is hot water, and the ground coffe turns into a puck, thats it. Do you have any guess about how to fix it? Thank you!
I’m glad they added the milk froth only option which is missing from their 3200 series and why I didn’t purchase it. It’s essential for my matcha green tea lattes!
3200 has milk froth life hack, we use it all the time. 1) don't put in ground coffee 2) select latte with ground coffee 3) after it finishes pouring the milk hit Cancel before it pours water.
@@botWi yes! I came to say this! I love chai latte and steamed milk in my hot chocolate. Family got together and bought my cousin a 3200 when they first came out two years ago and everybody loves it.
@@botWi nice! But would it damage the machine over time by canceling the coffee? Just curious if it’s affect the machine. Thanks
@@guioom1 it does not affect it. I disassembled it once to make a full clean wash, it is pretty simple mechanism. Cancelling an operation won't do anything.
I love my coffees extremely hot so my questions are: 1. How hot (in ºC) is the water on "high"? 2. How hot does the milk come out? and 3. Is the spout adjustable - up and down?
I don't have an exact temp. Have a look at this video. ruclips.net/video/lj_gtaUDKqM/видео.html You may want to go to a manual machine which gives you more control over temp.
@@ecscoffeeinc does Phillips make a semi-automatic where you can control the heat of the milk? I like mine hot too
I noticed it definitely has big milk containers. Perfect for my liking.
Neil, the milk it's dispensing doesn't look as frothy as milk you'd froth yourself. Is that the case?
Typically manual frothing can enable you better control so yes...it will not be as good.
How would you compare this one with the siemens eq500? Is it that bad to not have a frothing wand? Please convince me to click the “Buy” button already 😅
Sorry that machine is not available for us to review in Canada.
Does anyone know if the Phillips 4300 has the travel mug option?
The 4300 does not, but the 5400 does :)
Hi Betina from denmark here. I Own this nice maschine but need information about using and choosing pre Ground coffé, to rinse for Oil? I Can not find it anywhere.. 😅
Can't help in Denmark. But look for a quality Italian bean designed for espresso in a medium roast
Does the milk go bad when left for too long?
Yes it will. The milk is not refrigerated.
@@ecscoffeeincThankyou.
I have heard that there are many people having leaks from the machine after a few months, have you had issues?
No leaks at all that we have heard of.
I heard that this model has quick rinse function. Is that true? if so, how about the 4300?
What is it that you mean by quick rinse? Are you referring to the milk system, the cleaning of the brew group, or something else?
@@ecscoffeeinc The 5400 has a quick rinse function for the milk carafe. Under the Clean button.
Makes great coffee, description is accurate!
How does the noise level compare to the 3200? Quieter, the same, or louder?
About the same
@@ecscoffeeinc And how would you compare it with other machines you were testing? I've seen some comments where people were complying that that Philips is simply loud - far to loud for this price range...
@@1234asdf31 The Philips 5400 is as loud as some other machines in this price range! If you're close to one of our location pop in for a demo to hear it in person :)
What are the box dimensions?? Thanks!
Hi on the 5400 version how did you use the app?
Not aware of any app available
Seimens Home Connect TQ703GB7 - £1.119
Delonghi Prinadonna Class - £919
Which one do you thinks better? it seems the Delonghi can do more drinks. the delonghi has a smaller milk container of 500ml where as seimens has 700ml. Delonghi uses Bluetooth and Seimens uses Wifi, do you think theres a better or doesnt it really matter with coffee machines? im still thinking the Delonghi is the one for me.
We do not sell the Seimens...not available in Canada.
@@ecscoffeeinc ok thanksz
What’s the difference between selected double shot vers extra shot?
Nothing really. The extra shot feature is good if you want an extra shot in your latte etc.
If you go up in water volume (more coffee) will the machine also grind more beans to keep grams to ml ratio the same? Or wil it just pump more water through the same amount of beans?
No. you need to adjust both which is very easy to do.
@@ecscoffeeinc Okay. So thats way it tastes like dog water. But on my machine i cant set grams to ml ratio. Its just strength and amount of coffee. Also when i choose 120ml milk it gives me like 60ml. I got the 4300. I bought it to save time. I usually brew with the V60 and grind with the Comandante C40 so i am very disappointed that this 600euro machine cant make a decent cup of coffee. It just cant measure against the slow brew. Really thinking about returning it. Anyway thanks for the reply without an answer 😜
I also have the 4300 LatteToGo. It does not grind more or less beans. I believe the amount of beans grinded is exactly the same for all drinks. But using different amounts of water would make the drink stronger or weaker.
I waited patiently for you to do a Flat Whit and you didn't do one, why was that, also lost sound for several minutes.
We did a video separately every drink on the 5400...yes missed that on this video.
I have the 3200 and the cappuccino temp is only warm. how is the espresso & milk temp on the 5400?
Have bit done a direct comparison but the 5400 has more temp levels. I will look into this though
@@ecscoffeeinc thanks. i don't know if it was the temp of espresso set to high which was the issue or the temp of the frothed milk also set to high.
Thanks for this review. The 5400 looks great, it is on top of my list together with the Gaggia Magenta Prestige. Have any of you tried the Gaggia one? How does it stand against the 5400? Thanks
Hmm. We do have Gaggia and love the old Saeco feel to them vs the new Philips feel which is more sleak. A lot of the same components go into both
Does it not add sugar?
Hi Recon!
No this machine will not add sugar for you.
@@ecscoffeeinc sorry can I add normal coffee to this as opposed to the beans and can I make hot chocloate with this machine
@@reconforsales7708 This machine does have a bypass chute for preground coffee! But you will want it to be ground for espresso, so pretty fine. This machine can't make hot chocolate as a pre programmed drink, but you can make hot chocolate on this machine by putting your powder or sauce at the bottom of your mug and selecting the "hot milk" or "milk foam" drink option and then stirring :)
Hi, can anyone say a second cup using the espresso selection with one ounce liquid be the same as an extra shot?
Yes I guess it would
how long is the cable on this? i want to buy this model but cant decide where to put it so it can reach my power outlet
Hi Airidas. In Canada the plug length is 36 inches. Not sure if it is different elsewhere
@@ecscoffeeinc thanks alot, now my decision is clear
What happened to the flat white?
I know
...we screwed up. But we did a follow up video with every drink...promise
Good comprehensive video but.....how does the results taste? How does automatic taste compare to the manual espresso macines?
Hmmm. subjective question. A lot of people prefer the control of manual and claim better coffee. I have to agree that with a manual and some practice it will be better. If it were not the case then all the cafe's would use Superautomatics.
Do you guys sell the carafe separately?
