Philips' Series 1200 (EP1220/00) is a bean-to-cup machine designed in Italy and made in Romania: stated dimensions are 24.6 cm in width, 37.1 cm in height and 43.3 cm in depth, weighing 7.5 kg. It runs on 230 V, 50 Hz, and draws 1500 W while brewing. The width-height-depth order follows the official manual for the 800/1200/2200/3200 series, which lists the dimensions in that same sequence.
The grinders are made of 100% ceramic, adjustable across 12 steps, fed from a 275 g bean hopper. The brew group is fully removable for cleaning, and anyone who prefers pre-ground or decaf coffee can bypass the grinder with the dedicated option.
The milk frother is a classic panarello, meant to be dipped into an external milk jug: it's dishwasher safe along with the drip tray. The declared drink range is 2 (espresso and coffee), plus a hot water function.
