John Jacob Excellent video! What a lifesaver this video; WAY better than the manual. I just got one. Yesterday - the manufacturer's authorized repair center in Lynwood, WA. said DO NOT use the filter if you use purified water. (I have one micron filtered water under the kitchen sink). They also said add a few tablespoons of tap, so the machine which is looking for certain chemicals 'see's them. Not saying you're wrong and they're right. Just FYI. I'm still setting mine up - with difficulty - my cataracts.

Hi there. It looks just like the ep2221. I brought one in January from a local retailer in my country. At the current prices it was 329$.I see yours is also made in Romania. I thought the ones made in our country are sold only in eastern europe but i see that they are sold worldwide. After 3 months of use and about 3kg of coffe i think it's a pretty good expreso machine for it's price.

I have the 2200 and I find that the 1st espresso after the machine powers up is very watery. I let the little bit of purge water run into the tray before placing my cup but the end result is always the same. I think the machine holds onto a bit of clean water in the lines. 2nd cup and on is fine but it's annoying to have to always toss out the first cup when maybe all you want is 1 or 2 cups.

The grinding noise does seem quite loud, could it possibly cause neighbor-related problems if used early in the morning? Have you had any maintenance-related costs? Any other thoughts would be appreciated!

That's not normal... Try rinsing the mechanism or select coffee and select the hopper by holding the beans strength button until that lower portion lights up, then brew a full cup with no coffee in the hopper... Maybe it just needs cleaning... Also try swapping beans, a super oilly bean will clog it up sometimes.

Thanks for watching and for your question... So it was set to 7 out of thr box, which is a course grind, and you can only change it one setting at a time with this machine which resulted in 7 shots of espresso... Espresso requires a finer grind than coffee but the finer you grind the stronger and different flavor you'll get... My preference was a 1 on the grind setting bc it was a bit stronger and taylored to my liking... If you have the same machine try setting it to 3 and try it out...its all about preferance! Hope this helps.
@morarmihai48814 жыл бұрын
@@JohnJacob By the way you can adjust the water temperature in 4 levels when the machine is turned off. I think you just hit the play button for a couple of seconds and the grind level will be the water hardness, you can also set that, my machine comed with a tester and the water quantity will adjust the water temperatue, also in 3 levels.

1 is for fine grind. Preferred for making espresso perhaps, but not necessarily for regular coffee. You have to experiment with different beans and different settings. Taste is completely subjective.

I know this is an old question, but if you haven't reached a decision yet, get the Breville. I had the Phillips 4300 LatteGo, and I was very unhappy with the coffee. I then switched to the Breville Barista Pro, and it makes a far better coffee. The reason is that all superautomatics use pressurized portafilter baskets, which cannot make a decent espresso
