CoffeeSpecs does not sell and does not show shop prices: check the price where you buy.
Philips' Series 5500 LatteGo (EP5547/90) sits at the top of the domestic bean-to-cup range and is made in China: 24.6 cm wide, 37.1 cm tall and 43.3 cm deep, weighing 8 kg. It runs on 230 V, 50 Hz, and draws 1500 W.
The brew group is fully removable, per the 4400/5500 family manual, and the grinders are made entirely of ceramic, adjustable across 12 steps. An extra-shot function is available for a stronger coffee, usable on every recipe except when pre-ground coffee is selected, which confirms there is a separate compartment for ground coffee next to the grinder.
The LatteGo milk system has just 2 parts, no tubes, and washes clean in under 10 seconds. The machine offers 20 hot and iced drinks and supports 4 user profiles plus a guest profile. Philips does not disclose any Wi-Fi or app connectivity for controlling the machine, though the spec sheet notes support for the HomeID companion app for recipes and instructions only.
