Today the difference is €236: the Philips 2200 Series costs €229, the Philips 3300 Series LatteGo €465.
On paper the 2200 and the 3300 are the same machine with a different milk system. They share ceramic burrs with 12 settings, 1.8 litres of water, 275 grams of beans, 12 servings of grounds, 15 bar, 1500 watts and energy class A. Philips asks for the same upkeep on both: the AquaClean filter at least every 3 months and a degreasing tablet for the brew group every month.
On the 2200 you froth milk yourself with a steam wand, and the menu has 2 recipes: espresso and coffee, plus hot water. The 3300 has the LatteGo jug with no tubes and 5 recipes, adding cappuccino, latte macchiato and iced coffee. The LatteGo comes off after use to be rinsed or put in the dishwasher; the 2200’s steam wand gets a short purge and a wipe after use.
In size there is barely anything between them: both almost 25 cm wide and just over 43 cm deep. The 2200 is 37.2 cm high, the 3300 36.6 cm. Both carry a 2 year warranty. The 3300 comes in black chrome or glossy black.
Our verdict: for black coffee, or if you do not mind frothing milk yourself, the 2200 is the sensible choice and you keep the difference. On paper you get the same grinder and the same insides. If you want cappuccino at one press, and would rather not keep a steam wand clean, the 3300 is the step you are after. You need nothing more than that for it.
What differs
- 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: the 2200 Series does it with a steam wand you control yourself; the 3300 Series LatteGo with a LatteGo jug, no tubes.
- Cleaning the 2200 Series's milk system: after every use, a short burst of steam or water and a wipe with a damp cloth.
- Cleaning the 3300 Series LatteGo's milk system: after every use, take it off and rinse it under the tap or put it in the dishwasher.
- The 3300 Series LatteGo has 3 more recipes on the menu.
