Quick verdict

The same hardware with a different drinks menu: three beverages against five, and a touch display on the 3200. Tank, hopper, burrs, brew group and pump are identical, so the shot is identical too.

Frequently asked

What is the main difference between the Philips Series 2200 and the Philips Series 3200 LatteGo?
The same hardware with a different drinks menu: three beverages against five, and a touch display on the 3200. Tank, hopper, burrs, brew group and pump are identical, so the shot is identical too.
Is the one with the higher bar rating better?
Both are advertised at 15 bar, and both actually brew at roughly 9 bar — the advertised figure is the pump's maximum, not the pressure at the coffee.
Which is better value?
At least one of these machines has no manufacturer-published list price, so we do not state a value verdict. Running costs — beans, descaler, filters, electricity — add a few hundred dollars a year to either machine.
Do both need descaling?
Yes. Every espresso machine that heats water accumulates scale, and scale rather than use is what ends most machines. Descale every one to three months depending on your water hardness, using the manufacturer's solution.
