Philips LatteGo 5500 espresso machine cut to £499.99 ahead of Amazon Big Deal Days

TechRadar's reviewer, who said they test more than a dozen coffee makers each year, described the LatteGo 5500 Series as one of the best machines they have used for creamy lattes and cappuccinos. In a full review, the reviewer called it "the perfect espresso machine for one or two people."

The machine is designed for smaller households and is meant to keep milk, beans and water fresh for better-tasting coffee, TechRadar said. Its milk system creates silky foam and dispenses it through a carafe that breaks into three dishwasher-safe parts. According to the report, milk never enters the coffee maker, and there are no awkward pipes or tubes, helping everything stay fresh and hygienic.

TechRadar said the LatteGo 5500 Series handles dairy and plant-based milks equally well. The ceramic grinder offers super-fine grind settings to help users get the best flavor from their beans, and the machine is surprisingly quiet, making only a hum when grinding coffee and pumping water.

TechRadar recommended the machine for shoppers looking for a coffee maker in time for Christmas, saying the large price cut makes it easier to recommend. The report said the fully automatic coffee maker had dropped to its lowest-ever price with the early Prime Big Deal Days offer.
