The short answer
This page covers Philips’s bean-to-cup machines, the four series we have verified for the UK. They are easier to choose between than their numbers suggest, because the core of the machine does not change.
- If you drink espresso and black coffee, the 2200 gives you the shared hardware at the entry point of the range.
- If you want cappuccino and latte macchiato at the press of a button, the 3300 LatteGo does it in the same mid-range bracket.
- If several people share the machine, the 5400 LatteGo stores 4 user profiles and shows its menus on a TFT display.
- If iced drinks matter to you, the 5500 LatteGo has the longest list: 20 programmed drinks.
What all four have in common
According to Philips’s own data, the four series share:
| Shared feature | Value |
|---|---|
| Water tank | 1.8 l |
| Bean hopper | 275 g |
| Grind settings | 12 |
| Pump pressure | 15 bar |
| Power | 1,500 W |
| Width | 24.6 cm |
| Height | 37.1 cm |
| Depth | 43.3 cm |
Philips also states a ceramic grinder on all four, without saying whether the burrs are flat or conical.
The consequence is simple: as far as the spec sheets go, a dearer Philips does not grind or brew with different hardware. It automates more. That is why the table at the top leaves out tank, hopper and dimensions: those columns would show the same value four times.
What changes from one series to the next
The drinks list
The figures are Philips’s own count. On the 2200 EP2220/10: espresso and coffee, plus hot water. On the 3300 LatteGo: espresso, coffee, cappuccino, latte macchiato and iced coffee; Philips advertises six by counting hot water, and its spec sheet says five, which is the figure we keep. On the 5400: 12. On the 5500: 20, with iced versions of the coffee and milk recipes.
The milk system
The 2200 in our database has a classic milk frother: you froth in a jug. The other three have LatteGo, a container of 0.26 l that Philips describes as two parts with no tubes. That capacity covers one large milk drink at a time; for the reasoning, and the alternatives from other brands, see the milk systems comparison.
The interface and the profiles
The 2200 and 3300 are operated from a touch-sensitive panel; the 5400 and 5500 have a TFT display. User profiles arrive with the display: none on the 2200 and 3300, 4 on the 5400, to which Philips adds a guest profile. For the 5500, Philips confirms profiles without stating how many, so the cell is empty.
Connectivity, brew group, weight
Philips states no app connectivity for the 2200, 3300 and 5400. For the 5500, one model code says no and another says yes; we do not arbitrate.
The brew group is removable on all four series. For the 3300 LatteGo, the source is the manual for the 2300 and 3300 series, which tells owners to take it out every week and rinse it.
The 2200 weighs 7.5 kg; the three LatteGo machines 8 kg.
Noise: a claim without a figure
Philips cites its SilentBrew technology in the spec sheets of the 3300, 5400 and 5500. No level in decibels is published for any series, so the claim cannot be compared with anything, and we do not rank on it.
Mind the model code
A Philips series is a family of model codes, and the milk system is not the same across the family.
- 2200: classic frother on EP2220, EP2221 and EP2224; LatteGo on EP2230 and EP2231. The EP2231/40 has been withdrawn from Philips’s UK catalogue.
- 3300: classic frother on EP3324 and EP3326; LatteGo on EP3341, EP3343 and EP3347. The EP3341/50 is not in the UK catalogue.
- 5400 and 5500: every code we read is a LatteGo model.
Our rows describe the EP2220/10, the EP3347/90, the EP5446/70 and the EP5546/70. If the listing you are looking at shows another code, the milk system and the number of drinks may differ from our table.
The four series, one by one
Mid-range, classic frother
Philips Series 2200 EP2220/10
The range’s hardware at its entry point. A good match if milk drinks are occasional. How it compares with its closest rival is set out in Magnifica S vs Philips 2200.

Mid-range, LatteGo

Upper mid-range, display and profiles
Philips 5400 Series LatteGo EP5446/70
One bracket up for a display, more than twice the drinks and stored profiles. The detail of that step is in 3300 LatteGo vs 5400 LatteGo.

Upper mid-range, iced drinks
Philips 5500 Series LatteGo EP5546/70
The 5400 with eight more programmed drinks. Philips’s pages are not consistent on this series: connectivity varies by model code, and some of its summaries in other countries quote a higher number of drinks than the spec sheet. We keep the spec sheet’s figure.

Which step up is worth paying for?
- From the 2200 to the 3300 LatteGo: you gain automatic milk and three drinks, and stay in the mid-range bracket. Worth it if milk drinks are a daily habit; not if you drink your coffee black.
- From the 3300 to the 5400: you gain a display, profiles and seven drinks, and move up a bracket. Worth it if several people use the machine; hard to justify for one person with one favourite drink.
- From the 5400 to the 5500: you gain eight drinks, mostly iced, in the same bracket. Worth it only if you will use them.
If a tight budget decides for you, the budget bean-to-cup comparison sets the two cheaper Philips against their De’Longhi rivals. For other brands at each level, see the full bean-to-cup comparison and the De’Longhi Magnifica range.
Upkeep
Whichever series you choose, descaling and cleaning the brew group are part of the routine. The descaling guide and the cleaning guide summarise what Philips’s manuals ask for, and the water hardness guide explains why the interval depends on where you live.
What Philips’s figures do not cover
This page rests entirely on Philips’s published data, read from the product feed behind its UK and German product pages. We have not used or measured any of the four machines; our own measurements will follow as we buy machines, and will be labelled as such.
Three gaps to keep in mind: no noise level is published, the shape of the burrs is not stated, and the heating system is not given for any series.

Which Philips coffee machine should I buy?
Decide on drinks, not on hardware, because the hardware is shared: all four series state a 1.8 litre tank, a 275 g hopper, 12 grind settings and a 24.6 cm wide body. The 2200 suits espresso and coffee drinkers. The 3300 LatteGo adds automatic milk drinks in the same price bracket. The 5400 LatteGo adds a display, 12 drinks and four user profiles. The 5500 LatteGo adds iced drinks, for 20 in all.
What is the difference between the Philips 2200 and the 3300?
On the UK models in our database, the milk system and the number of drinks. The 2200 EP2220/10 has a classic milk frother and two programmed drinks, espresso and coffee, plus hot water. The 3300 LatteGo EP3347/90 has the LatteGo milk container and five pre-programmed drinks, including cappuccino, latte macchiato and iced coffee. Tank, hopper, grinder and dimensions are identical.
What is the difference between the Philips 5400 and the 5500?
The drinks list. Philips states 12 programmed drinks for the 5400 LatteGo and 20 for the 5500 LatteGo, the difference coming largely from iced versions. Capacities, dimensions and weight are the same. Philips states four user profiles for the 5400 and says the 5500 has profiles without giving a number.
What is LatteGo?
LatteGo is Philips's automatic milk system: a container that holds 0.26 litres and, according to Philips, is made of two parts with no tubes. It is fitted to the 3300, 5400 and 5500 models in our database. The 2200 EP2220/10 has a classic milk frother instead.
Are Philips bean-to-cup machines quiet?
We cannot say. Philips uses the name SilentBrew on the 3300, 5400 and 5500 series, but publishes no noise level in decibels for any of the four. Without a figure we make no claim. Noise is one of the measurements we plan to take ourselves.
Do Philips coffee machines connect to an app?
Philips states no connectivity for the 2200, the 3300 LatteGo and the 5400 LatteGo. For the 5500, its pages disagree from one model code to the next, so our table leaves the field empty.
