The integrated TFT screen offers an intuitive interface, making it easy to navigate between different preparation options. Moreover, its numerous features allow for the preparation of a variety of beverages, ranging from cappuccino to latte, thus satisfying all the cravings of coffee lovers. However, there are some drawbacks to consider. The lack of an integrated grinder may require additional equipment for those who wish to use freshly ground beans. Additionally, the relatively small milk tank capacity of 0.26 L may necessitate frequent refills for users who enjoy making multiple milk-based drinks. While the power of 230 W is adequate, some users may find that the preparation time is longer compared to other models. The weight of 8000 g may also make the machine difficult to move, which could be a disadvantage for those who prefer to store or relocate it regularly. Finally, although the touch controls are modern, they can sometimes be less responsive in a humid environment. Overall, the Philips Series 5500 EP5546 offers a satisfying user experience with good value for money, despite some limitations. The ratings reflect a generally positive experience, particularly in terms of features and performance, with a score of 90 for features and 80 for performance.
