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.
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?
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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!
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
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.
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
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.:))
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.
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
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
I've just bought this and love it already. However I use "normal" coffee beans, am I supposed to use espresso coffee beans for the ultimate experience?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.*
Hi. Thanks for the review. I am a latte girl and not very experienced in coffee. I want a better latte than from the big name coffee shops. I'm trying to decide if I should wait on the 4300/5400 or go ahead and purchase the 3200. The 5400 is the only one that has the cafe latte. The 3200 and 4300 only have the latte macchiato. Is there much difference in taste? I've read that they're slightly different in how they're made. I appreciate any information you can give. I'm getting impatient waiting on the new model, but maybe I don't need it if the latte macchiato is great. Thanks!
The 5400 is a bit better....but delayed for a few more months. We just got in the 4300. Honestly before you buy, if possible, and after our lockdown, come down to our stores and try them out. It sounds like you are looking for a specific drink and I would rather you saw and tried them rather than just buy online.
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
We have a 4300 comparison also but do not actually use the panarello. Once we get the machines (those were loaners from the manufacturer) we will have a look
@@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.
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 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 😅
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.
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?
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.. 😅
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 a great video! I live in Norway and cant try this machine out before buying, and I have one question that keeps me from ordering it. Maybe you van help me? Usually when I buy caffe lattes in a cafee made by a professional, they taste ”creamy”. Would you say that the latte from the 5400 has this taste?
Thanks, I bought the machine before remembering my comment. I agree, the creamy taste is not as the one from a skilled barista. However, me and my husband are very pleased with this machine. As parents to two small children, this is a well needed treat. I am trying out different beans now to find my favourite. Also, I agree that whole milk makes the latte creamier too. I have tried different setups and I think I got pretty near the perfect latte.
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
I watched both the videos on 4300 and 5400. Fom your comments and what I could hear these machines are fairly noisy. Is there any other machines of this type that are not as noisy?
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?
Does the machine brew an “espresso” differently than a “coffee”? Meaning, if I press the espresso button with water set to max and have the bean strength set to 3...does what comes out taste different than what dispenses if I press the coffee button at minimum water, with bean strength set to 3? I probably could have asked it more simply like this: is a “coffee” just a larger serving of espresso?
Good questions. Once I get one to sell (that was a loaner) I will check. Theoretically and from memory it seems that id would do the same thing as there is preinfusion on both. I am pretty sure the pressure stays the same.
The Philips machines aren't designed for cold beverages, just hot coffee varieties. I suppose you could put ice in a cup prior to brewing and brew directly into the ice for a cold-brew however there is no specific cold brew feature with this machine.
The grinders are 100% pure ceramic: 12 steps, extremely hard and precise, so you can enjoy fresh aromatic coffee, for at least 20.000 cups. As per Philips
@@ecscoffeeinc 20,000 cups before?? The machine needs replaced? Or a part?. Also the hole at the top where ground coffee goes in. What would this be used for or Just used if your out of beans? Thanks
@@LFCWATP the ground coffee spot at the top is called a bypass so you can load a decaff or use another pre ground blend instead of the whole beans in the grinder. You have to tell it to use the bypass
Hi. Do you have any idea when this model will enter Malaysia’s market? I wanted to buy the 3200 LatteGo model, was sold after watching a few reviews (including yours with the milk spill, haha), then came across this model. Lol 🤪🤪🤪

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?
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
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.
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!

Typically manual frothing can enable you better control so yes...it will not be as good.
What is the extra well on the top center near where the coffee beans go???
Bypass for ground coffee
You missed the flat white?! Just got myself one and looking forward to trying it out.
Editing mistake...here is the video with them all ruclips.net/video/kt0o5kqYX40/видео.html
Thank you , gray but I wonder how about decade coffee, how could you make it? And mocha doesn’t it require cocoa?
Assuming you mean decaf, there is a bypass on the machine for ground coffee.
@@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.
What are the cup sizes ?
is it possible to use the latte go cup to pour cream into a latte cup manually to create desiens?
It would be a challenge. We have not tried. I would think the results would be tough to get as the microfoam is not great.
You didn't do the flat white what order does this machine do espresso/milk and is it a double shot?
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
@@ecscoffeeinc Thanks handy to know so certain drinks are pre programmed order with option to single and double shot then?
@@Muzzsjm programmed single but extra shot button creates a second
Can i make all these coffee with coffee beans only? No need for capsules?
This coffee machine does not take capsules! It uses whole beans with an on board grinder and also a milk carafe with fresh, chilled milk.
Does this froth milk on its own
Hi. I am very confused between this and the Oracle touch. Which makes better coffee?
Tough to say. Oracle gives you much more control to make a better coffee. More work involved but overall can get you more dynamic choices
Could you please tell if this machine has a cup warmer? Thanks!
Not an active one
@@ecscoffeeinc Thanks a mil
Lost audio at 13:30
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.
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.
Do you have any machines that are smart home compatible because I world like to tell it what I want so that it’s made before I get to it
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.
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?
The second setting is the amount of water going through the espresso the third is the amount of milk :)
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
Just ordered one today does anyone know if you can make the say flat white fill a 350ml cup or would you have to do this twice please
Hi! You can program your beverage length :)
When u hit the 2cup,is that a double or 2 drinks?
It grinds and brews twice. So two drinks
Nice review!
Is the froth consistency the same for all milk drinks?
it changes per drink
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.
Does this thing auto flush everything when you turn it off? I saw another machine that does that! seemed cool/useful
All Superautomatic espresso machines do that
Yep. They all do
Thanks for a great video! I live in Norway and cant try this machine out before buying, and I have one question that keeps me from ordering it. Maybe you van help me? Usually when I buy caffe lattes in a cafee made by a professional, they taste ”creamy”. Would you say that the latte from the 5400 has this taste?
Honestly, they will be good but a professional with microfoam is always going to win.
It is also about what type of milk you use... the higher level of fat, the creamier taste you will experience
Thanks, I bought the machine before remembering my comment. I agree, the creamy taste is not as the one from a skilled barista. However, me and my husband are very pleased with this machine. As parents to two small children, this is a well needed treat. I am trying out different beans now to find my favourite. Also, I agree that whole milk makes the latte creamier too. I have tried different setups and I think I got pretty near the perfect latte.
I’ve breville barista pro
Which one does a better espresso?
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
I noticed it definitely has big milk containers. Perfect for my liking.
Disappointed the cup holder isn’t heated. We had switched from a SAECO professional version and made an assumption based on it’s aesthetics here. :-(
Is there a really big taste difference compared to capsule machines like nespresso?
Definitely! A freshly ground espresso can't be beat. The crema will be richer and flavours fuller!
6:19 "you flick the little bean..."😂
How would you rate the Philips 5400 compared to the Gaggia Cadorna Barista Plus?
Have not compared the two at this time.
Man I finally ordered one from UK since you can't find this in US right now... I hope this thing is 220~110 50/60 lol
I watched both the videos on 4300 and 5400. Fom your comments and what I could hear these machines are fairly noisy. Is there any other machines of this type that are not as noisy?
All machines with a grinder are noisy, I find the Juras to be the quietest. See this video though ruclips.net/video/JioCqLl9IWQ/видео.html
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 may have just not been full enough to trigger the notification!
Does the milk container have double wall?
No. Plastic.
Does it only do froth milk? Can it do warm milk only, without froth?
Here is every drink ruclips.net/video/kt0o5kqYX40/видео.html
Does the machine brew an “espresso” differently than a “coffee”? Meaning, if I press the espresso button with water set to max and have the bean strength set to 3...does what comes out taste different than what dispenses if I press the coffee button at minimum water, with bean strength set to 3? I probably could have asked it more simply like this: is a “coffee” just a larger serving of espresso?
Good questions. Once I get one to sell (that was a loaner) I will check. Theoretically and from memory it seems that id would do the same thing as there is preinfusion on both.
I am pretty sure the pressure stays the same.
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.
Can i do any cold beverages with this?
The Philips machines aren't designed for cold beverages, just hot coffee varieties. I suppose you could put ice in a cup prior to brewing and brew directly into the ice for a cold-brew however there is no specific cold brew feature with this machine.
Love your videos. Mirna is awesome addition! What can you tell me about the features of the grinder?
The grinders are 100% pure ceramic: 12 steps, extremely hard and precise, so you can enjoy fresh aromatic coffee, for at least 20.000 cups. As per Philips
@@ecscoffeeinc 20,000 cups before?? The machine needs replaced? Or a part?. Also the hole at the top where ground coffee goes in. What would this be used for or Just used if your out of beans?
Thanks
@@LFCWATP the ground coffee spot at the top is called a bypass so you can load a decaff or use another pre ground blend instead of the whole beans in the grinder. You have to tell it to use the bypass
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.
is this the one that supports wifi ?
No
Is it possible to plumb with a plumb for water with a plumb kit?
No it is not
Hi. Do you have any idea when this model will enter Malaysia’s market? I wanted to buy the 3200 LatteGo model, was sold after watching a few reviews (including yours with the milk spill, haha), then came across this model. Lol 🤪🤪🤪
Not sure yet. Maybe one day
When wi this be back in stock? looking forward to buying one 😀
will*
@@tnt666tnt Tough to say with inventory the way it is worldwide...they are ordered. Best bet is to go to our page online and hit notify me and as soon as we have it you will know.
