Philips EP0824

Overview

The Philips EP0824 Series 800 is the most affordable fully automatic espresso machine in Philips' range, stripped down to essential bean-to-cup functionality without milk frothing capability. The integrated ceramic burr grinder with 12 settings grinds fresh for each cup, and the intuitive two-button interface brews espresso or lungo with a single press. The AquaClean filter system reduces descaling frequency. A compact footprint suits small kitchens. The EP0824 answers a specific market need — the buyer who wants fresh-ground, fresh-brewed coffee with zero preparation effort but doesn't need milk drinks. For black coffee purists seeking super-automatic simplicity, the EP0824 delivers remarkable value.

The Philips EP0824 comes equipped with pre-infusion for even extraction. It features a thermoblock boiler system made of stainless steel. The vibratory pump delivers 15.0 bars of pressure for optimal extraction.

Priced at $350, the Philips EP0824 is designed for home baristas looking for quality without breaking the bank. As a super-automatic machine, it handles everything from grinding to extraction at the touch of a button — perfect for convenience without sacrificing quality.

In terms of build quality, the Philips EP0824 is a substantial machine, weighing in at 6.8 kg, manufactured in Netherlands, drawing 1500W of power. With dimensions of 220 x 380 x 330 mm (W×D×H), make sure you have adequate counter space. The built-in water reservoir holds 1400 ml, making it easy to set up anywhere in your kitchen.
