Sad performer. Every week the de-scale light comes on and wants you to go through the whole sequence which takes forever. Coffee is leaked outside of the despenser when grinding and needs to be constantly cleaned out. Contacted the retailer and he said that this was a problem with these coffee machines. So sadly a lot of money spent for a disapointing product.

Love this machine. So simple even my 4yr old can make me a coffee. You can turn the machine on and make your coffee quicker than boiling a jug (we tried it). The steam function works equally as fast and you don't need any skill to make good frothy milk, and the coffee crema is amazing ( even for cheap generic coffee)

I love my Philips Saeco Syntia Super-Automatic Coffee Machine! Its compact enough that I take it if I am away overnight so I never not have the perfect coffee Every cuppa is superb time after time Cant fault it
