5400 Series Fully Automatic Espresso Machine with LatteGo (EP5447/94, EP5447/90)

Slightly burned? Have you ever changed the grind setting? The lower the coffee tasts bitter, 6 is normal.

I tried a lot of beans from Dutch coffee roasters. The one I like the most is the Bourbon Royal from Blanche Dael. Grinder setting: 3-4, depends on what coffee I make.

I think there is a pretty notable difference. I went from a Philips 5400 (same machine as the 3200/3300 just fancier features) to a using my brother in laws Delonghi Dinamica Plus pretty regularly, to the KitcheAid KF8 we have now and I would say every one of them was a noticeable jump in quality even though we drink milk drinks 90%+ of the time. The real question I think is if the KF8 is 50% better than the Philips since that is about the price difference and personally I think so, but I’d wager that most people would find it to fall in the diminishing returns category.

Reduce shot volume and grind size. Phillips machines can make pretty decent coffee, but they require a little bit of tweaking.

So you prefer the Kf8? I currently have a Philips Lattego Go 5400, but it has been having some issues lately. However, I also mainly drink black coffee.

I have a Phillips 5400 and now looking so the jet. Can you tell me the main benefits in your experience

I bought my wife a Philips lattego 5400, we've had it since 2020 and it's still going strong. Total drinks made is 5000ish. Good beans, good milk, good coffee!
