Nivona CafeRomatica 550 or Philips 2200 Series?

What actually differs between the Nivona CafeRomatica 550 and the Philips 2200 Series, and what that means for who you are.

What differs

  • The 2200 Series is €265.00 cheaper.
  • Both are the same kind of machine, a bean-to-cup, so they work the same way.
  • Both have a built-in grinder, so you do not need to buy one.
  • Milk works the same on both: with a steam wand you control yourself.
  • Cleaning the milk system is the same on both: after every use, a short burst of steam or water and a wipe with a damp cloth.
