The Philips 2200 EP2220/10 is almost the best entry-level bean-to-cup machine, with easy buttons and good espresso, though its all-plastic body feels less premium.

Third-party reviews

What we like about Philips Series 2200 EP2220/10

  • Excellent value for money as an entry-level automatic bean-to-cup machine.
  • Intuitive and easy-to-use touch display for choosing drinks and adjustments.
  • Produces high coffee temperatures and good flavor extraction.
  • Durable 12-step ceramic grinder that stays sharp for thousands of cups.
  • AquaClean water filter allows up to 5,000 cups without needing to descale.
  • Compact footprint that easily fits on smaller kitchen countertops.
  • Removable brew group making it simple to rinse and clean under the tap.

What we don't like about Philips Series 2200 EP2220/10

  • The internal brew pump and grinding process can be very noisy during operation.
  • Exterior build quality is mostly plastic and lacks a premium metal feel.
  • Manual Panarello steam wand requires practice and extra effort to get perfect milk froth.
  • Grind size adjustments can only be made while the grinder is running and take multiple cups to take effect.
  • Lacks advanced programming or dedicated buttons for popular drinks like Americanos.
  • The grounds drawer and water reservoir require frequent emptying/refilling due to their smaller capacity.

Verdict

The Philips Series 2200 EP2220/10 is a 1500W fully automatic bean-to-cup espresso machine operating under 15-bar pump pressure, featuring a 1.8-litre water tank and a 275-gram bean container equipped with an integrated 100% ceramic grinder offering 12 adjustment steps. Controlled via an intuitive touch interface, it delivers two pre-programmed beverage options (espresso and coffee) and incorporates an Aroma Extract system that balances water temperature between 90 and 98°C, alongside a classic manual steam wand milk frother. Main advantages include the customizable 'My Coffee Choice' menu with 3 settings for coffee strength and volume, a fully removable brew group for quick rinsing, dishwasher-safe components, and AquaClean filter compatibility allowing up to 5,000 cups without descaling. However, its primary downsides are a loud operational noise during bean grinding, a plastic-dominant housing construction, and the manual effort required for milk frothing compared to automated models.
