Maintenance
EssentialDescaler
Limescale is what most machines die of, and vinegar attacks the seals. A liquid descaler declared suitable for espresso machines does the same job as the maker’s own branded fluid, usually for less.

Price alert
When the 2200 Series drops
Espresso machines drop hardest around Black Friday and in the weeks before Christmas. Leave your email address and pick below what you want to hear about.
Philips' entry model, and for years the one people buy when they want to leave filter coffee behind without making a project of it. Beans in, press a button, done.
The milk frother is a classic wand you work yourself. Anyone who mostly drinks cappuccino finds that tiresome within a month and would have been better off going up to a LatteGo. Anyone sticking to espresso and black coffee misses nothing.
Who for: Anyone who wants to press a button and drinks their coffee black.
Compared with similar machines
Against all 89 other bean-to-cups on the site, on the specifications the maker publishes.
- Drinks: 2, fewer than most (usually 12)
- Weight: 7.3 kg, lighter than most (usually 9 kg)
Same machine, different model number
These versions are the same appliance under another model number, often only a different colour. The prices differ considerably, so it pays to look at all of them.

This is what we know for certain. Dimensions and capacities the manufacturer or the shop does not state are left out rather than estimated. A measurement or a tank volume that is not there is one we do not have.
What does it cost a year to maintain?
A worked example, not a specification: 2 cups a day (730 a year), the intervals from the maker's manual, with the water filter the maker recommends, and the lowest price in our catalog today.
- Water filter · 4 a year
- €65.90
- Philips: replace the AquaClean filter at least every 3 months. 2 x AquaClean water filter, 2 a pack, at €32.95
- Cleaning tablets · 12 a year
- Not in our catalog
- Philips: the brew group with a coffee oil remover tablet every month. Philips requires its own tablets, which our catalog does not carry.
- Descaler
- Not stated
- The machine says when. Philips promises 'up to 5000 cups' without descaling on AquaClean, but gives no interval.
Maintenance a year (the priced lines above)
€65.90
How often you descale depends on your water hardness. Where the maker gives no interval for it, we leave it out rather than estimate it.
Beans, counted separately
6.57 kilos a year at 9 grams a cup: €108.34 with the cheapest kilo in our catalog, €445.45 with the dearest.

Milk
EssentialMilk jug
A stainless jug of around 600 ml is the difference between milk that froths and milk that boils. The shape of the spout decides whether you can pour anything with it.

Maintenance
RecommendedAquaClean water filter
Philips counts a considerably longer descaling interval when this filter is fitted. Replace it on time: a saturated filter does nothing, and the machine keeps counting regardless.
€32.95
Go to bolBeans for this machine
Every bean fits every machine. What differs is the order: on a bean-to-cup the 100% arabica beans come first, because dark-roasted blends carrying robusta give off more oil and that clogs a built-in grinder sooner.
