Our quick verdict
An easy, good-value way into bean-to-cup coffee: freshly ground beans, simple one-touch buttons and a steam wand for milk. Coffee fans may find the espresso a little light, but for everyday coffee it’s a big step up from pods.
Great for
- Moving up from pods or instant
- Households that drink 2+ coffees a day
- People who want fresh beans without the fuss
Skip it if
- You want automatic lattes at one touch (needs a pricier model)
- You want a quiet machine
The Philips 2200 grinds fresh beans for every cup, with simple touch buttons for espresso and coffee and a classic steam wand for milky drinks.
Key features
- One-touch espresso and coffee
- Ceramic grinder with 12 grind settings
- Adjustable strength, quantity and temperature
- Classic milk frother (steam wand)
What reviewers say
Reviewers call it a solid, good-value entry into bean-to-cup coffee, easy to use and to clean, with hotter espresso than many rivals.
Downsides: plastic build, a loud pump, and the milk wand needs a bit of practice.
