Philips Series 1200 & 2200 Automatic Coffee Machines - How to Install and Use

Hi there, thanks for your comment! We're glad to hear that you find this video helpful. Are you going for the Series 1200 or 2200? Either way: enjoy your new espresso machine! And don't hesitate to let us know in case you have any questions about it in the future. :)

[@danetteharlow4031]

I just received my EP1220/04 back from a repair center (it's less than a year old) and was instructed to prime it according to instruction manual. When I did not see anything in instruction manual for "priming" I followed a KZbin video. The KZbin video shows the whole water tank being emptied out during this "priming" but mine barely shot any water out. Also, the blue light indicator for the Aqua Filter is on and I have no filter in it. I am presently out of them right now. Typically, that blue light is only on when there's a filter in water tank. Is all of this okay? I have to say that while our machine was at repair center we went back to making French press. It's delicious and so much easier than going through all of this for the sake of having an individual cup of coffee at any given moment.

Good coffee machine. Do one needs to empty the water container every evening ore before a longer period (holiday) not using to prevent buildup off bacteria? Or does the Aquaclean container has to be kept wet?

Hi I bought this machine yesterday and I was wanting to know how to do a long black or is it just press the coffee button?

[@Philips]

Hello, thank you for reaching out. We are happy to assist you with your query. To make a long black with your Series 1200 espresso machine, you need to follow these steps: 1. Fill the water tank with fresh water and insert it into the machine. 2. Turn on the machine and wait for it to heat up. 3. Place a cup under the coffee spout and press the coffee button once. The machine will dispense a single shot of espresso. 4. Fill a kettle with water and bring it to a boil. 5. Pour hot water over the espresso in your cup until you reach the desired strength and volume of your long black. We hope this helps you enjoy your coffee. If you have any other questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us again. Have a nice day!

what would be the recommended setting to make ristretto?

[@Philips]

Hi, thanks for your comment. To achieve the perfect ristretto with your 1200 or 2200 Series Automatic Coffee Machine, it’s recommended to adjust the grinder to a fine setting for a strong espresso base. Begin by filling the bean hopper with espresso beans, ideally a dark roast for a more intense flavor. For the 1200 series, you can adjust the drink volume to the lowest setting for a concentrated ristretto. On the 2200 series, use the 'My Coffee Choice' feature to set the aroma strength to the highest level and adjust the coffee quantity to a small cup size. Remember, ristretto is typically served in a small 15-20ml volume, which is about half of a standard espresso. For detailed instructions, please refer to the user manual or the Philips support website. Enjoy your rich and full-bodied ristretto!

Dear Philips support, is there an option to only heat the milk without frothering it ? And also can you explain the difference between the espresso brewing and the coffee brewing?

[@Philips]

Hello Emanuel, thanks for your question. Espresso is brewed with more pressurized water that shoots through the ground coffee beans in under 30 seconds. This is different from making coffee, which relies on the slow filtering of hot water through the grounds. For more detailed information, you can visit this link: to.philips/6052KYKUM. In addition, the EP3241 is not designed to warm milk. We hope this answers your question. Feel free to get back to us if you need further advice. Thank you.

[@Philips]

Hi there. Thanks for your question. You can adjust the coffee temperature to your own preference. Hopefully this answers your question.

[@Phantasia.Official]

No, for making Coffee, you need the water to be cooked, within this machine, to make a certain pressure, so the machine can pump it thru its pipes, to the coffee cup. If you want to have a colder coffee, you need to add cold water afterwards, and so the taste will change too. So, be aware if you want colder coffee, you make the coffee more strong, and so you can add cold water more easier.

do I need to use it once and then install the aqua filter or do it directly?

[@Philips]

Hi there, Yvaylo. Thanks for reaching out and for interest in our product. After turning on the coffee machine, the second step is activating the aqua filter. The machine does not automatically detect that a filter has been placed in the water tank. Therefore, 🙂 you need to activate each new AquaClean water filter that you install with the AquaClean icon. Hope this helps!

Is the water hardness still accurate if i left the swab unter the tap water for 5 to 10 seconds @Philips? I got all excited and skipped that part of the manual accidently ;) .. Mine is 4 so i was abit suprised.

[@Philips]

We appreciate your enthusiasm in using our water hardness testing strip. According to the general guidelines, it's recommended to dip the testing strip in the water for just 1 second, then remove it, gently shake off any excess water, lay it on a flat surface, and read the results after one minute. If the swab was left under the tap water for 5 to 10 seconds, it's possible that this deviation from the recommended procedure may have affected the accuracy of the reading. We would advise performing the test again, adhering to the 1-second dip guideline to ensure an accurate reading of the water hardness.

Hi, thanks for your interest in our Automatic Coffee Machines ☕ There are different versions of both series, but in general the 2200 will have slightly more features, such as aroma strength settings than the 1200. You can find more details here: to.philips/60543pn6y We hope this helps!

Dear philips support. I want to adjust and change the degree of coffee grinder. When can I do this function? In your vidio shows when the machine turns on and the grinder works at a time she changes the coffee grinder but I think it can be damaged. Can I adjust it when the coffee machine turns off ??

[@Philips]

Hi Newsha, thanks for your comment. To adjust the grinder settings of your Philips espresso machine, you can follow these steps: 1) Open the lid of the bean container. 2) First place the adjustment key on the grinder adjustment knob, then press down the grind setting knob and turn it to the left or right. If there is an adjustment knob, no extra tool is needed, you can press it down and turn it left or right. 3) Turning it a notch left or right, adjusts the setting. There will be either dots or numbers to indicate the grind setting. A smaller dot/number equals to a smaller particle size. 4) Try brewing two to three cups of coffee to taste the difference. The sensor will make the adjustments to the amount of time the grinder spins to make sure that the correct amount of coffee is being ground and as a result you will have an optimal shot of espresso. We hope this helps! Feel free to send us a message on one of our Philips Home Living pages (Twitter or Facebook) if you have other questions.

[@newsa20]

@@Philips thanks but I don’t underestand your help about you said : (First place the adjustment key on the grinder adjustment knob).

[@Philips]

Hi again! The grinder setting of your Espresso machine can be adjusted by using the grind setting knob inside the bean container. In some machines you will need to use the back of the handle of the pre-ground scoop as an adjustment key. It is the same if you complete this process while the machine is on or off. We hope this helps!

Thanks for sharing the model number, Christin. There may be different reasons why coffee is not coming out properly. Please try the following tips: 1. The brew group may need to be cleaned or lubricated (check pages 12-14 of user manual: to.philips/6050M5o92). 2. The issue may occur if you have changed to another type of coffee beans or haven't used the machine for a long time. Please brew 5 cups of coffee to allow the machine to complete its self-adjustment procedure. 3. The pre-ground coffee compartment may be clogged. Switch off the machine and remove the brew group. Open the lid of the preground coffee compartment and insert the spoon handle into it. Move the handle up and down until the clogged ground coffee falls down. Please let us know if this solves the issue!
