Firstly, there is more free space in the selection of coffee as well as the resulting drinks, much better taste and higher productivity. Secondly, the use of such a Philips coffee machine will be several times cheaper than a capsule one. At first it may seem that this is not the case. After all, the second option costs much less. But then, due to the constant acquisition of branded capsules, when calculating expenses, a huge amount is obtained. However, there is still one advantage that even the most “smart” grain machine cannot be interrupted - ease of operation.

The machine is sold only in black, so it may slightly spoil the appearance of the kitchen.
Philips Senseo
