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.

When the 3300 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.
This is the 3300 series without LatteGo. You froth milk yourself with a classic steam wand, and the menu centres on black coffee: espresso, coffee, americano, espresso lungo and iced coffee, plus hot water and warm milk.
That puts it between the 2200 and the 3300 LatteGo. If you mostly drink your coffee black, you are not paying for a milk system you will not use. If you drink cappuccino every day, LatteGo is less work.
Who for: Anyone who mostly drinks black coffee and wants more choice than the 2200 offers.
Strong on paper
- Iced coffee and americano at one touch
- Ceramic burrs
- No milk system to look after if you drink it black
Weaker on paper
- Frothing milk is handwork
- No one-touch cappuccino

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: €117.80 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.
Lavazza
Lavazza Qualità Oro
€24.95per kilo
Price verdict from 29 Oct€24.95 · 1 kg bag
All arabica, and so softer and more acidic than the blends carrying robusta. Anyone who finds espresso too harsh often starts here.

Lavazza Espresso Italiano Classico

Price verdict from 29 Oct€24.99 · 1 kg bag
All arabica as well, like the Oro. The middle path between the soft arabica blends and the firm bar blends.

Price verdict from 29 Oct€12.95 · 250 g tin
A blend of nine arabicas, and per kilo a bean from the top end. The 250 g tin looks cheap and per kilo is nothing of the sort.
