De'Longhi All-in-One COM532M
Score: 71/100Rankings
The Philips 2200 Series EP2220/14 offers a compact, entry-level bean-to-cup experience with a ceramic grinder and manual milk frother. Its limited drink selection and manual frothing require more user effort. Best suited for beginners and small-kitchen users who prioritize simplicity.
The De'Longhi All-in-One COM532M is a compact combo machine that excels with its dual heating system and 15-bar pump, delivering both drip coffee and espresso. Its manual steam wand and pressurized baskets limit espresso quality and speed. Ideal for small households that want versatility without a separate grinder.

Professional reviewers commend the Philips 2200 for its precise ceramic grinder, compact size and low-maintenance AquaClean system, describing it as a solid entry-level machine that delivers good espresso for beginners. However, they note the limited drink selection, manual milk frothing and short warranty as drawbacks for more demanding users.
Everyday users appreciate the intuitive touch interface, consistent coffee quality from fresh beans and the ease of cleaning thanks to dishwasher-safe parts and the AquaClean filter. Recurring frustrations focus on the manual frother's learning curve, limited beverage options and a perception of a less premium plastic build.
“good espresso for starters”
“delicious milk froth”
“the best DeLonghi combi coffee machine”
Professional reviewers commend the All-in-One for its versatile combo of drip and espresso brewing, compact footprint, and value-driven feature set such as the dual heating system, 15-bar pump, and touchscreen timer. However, they point out the fully manual espresso process, pressurized baskets that limit espresso quality, longer heat-up time, and the inability to steam milk while pulling a shot as notable drawbacks compared to De'Longhi's higher-end automatic models.
Everyday users echo the experts on ease of use, good taste for both drip coffee and espresso, and appreciation for the small size that fits limited counter space. Common praise centers on the straightforward controls, reliable frothing, and easy cleaning, while recurring complaints focus on missing accessories, the manual nature of espresso and steaming, occasional pod issues, and the bitter result from the bold drip setting.
