Rank #8 in Best Bean to Cup Coffee Machines 2026: 10 Ranked, and the Spec Sheets That Do Not Add Up
Philips 2200 Series Bean to Cup Coffee Machine
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Philips 2200 Series (EP2220/10) is a fully automatic bean-to-cup machine: whole beans in, one-touch drinks out. It has a classic milk frother, adjustable grind size, coffee strength, quantity and temperature, and a touch panel for picking the drink. The listing prices it at £279.00 and shows 4.2 out of 5 from 393 ratings, which is where it lands at number eight in this guide.
Its spec sheet is the one that gave this guide its dimension problem. The field reads 9.7D x 14.6W x 17.1H centimetres; run those numbers through 2.54 and you get roughly 24.6 x 37.1 x 43.4 cm, which is exactly the footprint carried on the Philips 3300 listing. The same sheet labels the machine a "Drip Coffee Machine" while the name, the operation mode and the coffee input all say bean to cup, fully automatic and espresso. Its wattage, at least, is a figure that makes sense: 1500 watts, the sort of number a machine that heats water and drives a pump actually needs. Everything here comes from the Amazon listing for the Philips 2200 Series, not from a machine we tested ourselves.
How those 393 ratings break down

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Really pleased with this Philips coffee machine. It's straightforward to set up and the touch controls make it very easy to choose a coffee without having to mess around with lots of settings.The coffee tastes fresh and much better than using pods, and I like that you can adjust the strength to suit your preference. The ceramic grinder is fairly quiet compared with other bean-to-cup machines I've used, and it gives consistent results.The classic milk frother works well for cappuccinos and lattes once you get used to it, and it's also easy enough to rinse and clean after use. The machine itself looks smart in matte black and doesn't take up too much space on the kitchen counter.Cleaning and general maintenance are simple, which is important for something used every day. Overall, a very good bean-to-cup machine for the price and a great choice if you want proper fresh coffee at home without making the process complicated.”
Verified purchase“The machine has been working non-stop for two years now.I wouldn't trade it for another brand.”

Questions people ask
What is the wattage of the Philips 2200 Series?
The listing states 1500 watts at 230 volts for the EP2220/10 — the same range as the other fully automatic machines here, rather than the 50 W and 230 W figures carried on some rival listings.
Why does the listing call the Philips 2200 a drip coffee machine?
One field says Drip Coffee Machine, and the rest of the same listing disagrees: the operation mode is Fully Automatic, the coffee input is whole beans, the recommended use is espresso and the name says bean to cup. One of those fields has to be wrong.
What do the 393 ratings and the star breakdown show?
4.2 out of 5 from 393 ratings. The histogram is 67% five star, 13% four star, 4% three star, 4% two star and 12% one star; those percentages average 4.19, so they do line up with the 4.2 shown.
What are the machine's dimensions?
The listing gives 9.7D x 14.6W x 17.1H centimetres. Multiply those by 2.54 and you get 24.6 x 37.1 x 43.4 cm, the same three-number footprint the Philips 3300 listing carries in centimetres.
Does the AquaClean filter come with the machine?
The bullets say the AquaClean filter is not included in delivery, while the included components field lists an "AquaClean Milk Frother". The listing does not say whether that second reference means a filter, a frother, or both.
How does the Philips 2200 make milk foam?
With a classic milk frother, which the listing says has only two dishwasher-safe parts and produces smooth, velvety foam for cappuccinos and lattes. Nothing in the spec suggests the frother is automatic.
