- Is the Philips 2200 good for lattes and cappuccinos?
- It can make them, but the classic frother produces coarse foam you froth manually. For silky milk and one-touch drinks, a model with a milk carafe is a better fit.
- Does it use whole beans or pods?
- Whole beans only. The built-in ceramic grinder grinds per cup, and there is no pod slot.
- How often do I need to descale it?
- With the included AquaClean filter fitted, Philips rates it for up to 5,000 cups between descaling. Without the filter, descale when the machine prompts, based on your water hardness.
- Can I adjust the coffee strength and temperature?
- Yes. Strength, brew temperature and grind size are all adjustable, and pre-brew aroma control wets the grounds before extraction.
- How much counter space does it need?
- It is about 24.6 cm wide, 37.1 cm tall and 43.3 cm deep, so allow clearance at the top for the bean hopper and at the front for the brew group.
- What comes in the box?
- The machine, an AquaClean filter cartridge, a water hardness test strip and a measuring spoon.
