Philips 3300 vs 4400: is the 4400 worth the extra?
Philips 3300 vs 4400 LatteGo: drinks, profiles, display and specs from Philips UK, plus UK prices and availability checked 3 Oct 2026.
The Philips 3300 vs 4400 choice comes down to the drinks menu and user profiles. On Philips UK’s pages, both LatteGo machines share the 12-step ceramic grinder, 275g bean container, 1.8-litre tank and the same body size. The 4400 adds a longer menu and saved profiles. The catch is that we couldn’t find a current UK price for the 4400 on 3 Oct 2026. We haven’t tested this in person. Our verdict is based on Philips UK’s product pages and specs, Currys’ listing and UK prices checked 3 Oct 2026. Read how we compare.

Drinks
- 3300 EP3347/90: Philips UK’s spec table lists espresso, coffee, cappuccino, latte macchiato and iced coffee, plus hot water.
- 4400 EP4446/70: Philips UK lists 12 pre-programmed drinks, plus hot water and frothed milk:
- espresso, coffee, ristretto, americano and caffè crema
- cappuccino, latte macchiato, caffè latte and café au lait
- iced coffee, americano with ice cubes and espresso with ice cubes
Both make iced coffee. The 4400 adds caffè latte, café au lait and ristretto, plus two more iced options.
Who it isn’t for: anyone who drinks only cappuccino or latte macchiato. The 3300 already covers those at one touch.
Profiles and display
Philips UK lists no user profiles on the 3300, but it has a touch display with coloured icons and settings for strength, length and milk froth level.
The 4400 has a TFT display and two user profiles plus a guest profile. Philips says you can adjust strength, coffee length and milk volume, then save your drink.
Who it isn’t for: one-person households. Without anyone else’s settings to save, the 4400’s profiles add little.
Milk system
Both use Philips’ LatteGo, which Philips UK lists at 0.26 litres. For the 3300, Philips says LatteGo has two parts and no tubes, and can be cleaned in 10 seconds under the tap or in the dishwasher. Philips also notes the 3300 doesn’t offer automatic milk cleaning. The 3300 classic frother version (EP3326/90) swaps LatteGo for a manual frother.
Who it isn’t for: anyone who wants milk kept in the fridge in a sealed carafe. LatteGo is a small jug you fill per session.
Grinder, tank, size and noise
Philips UK lists the same core hardware on both:
- Grinder: ceramic, 12 settings.
- Capacity: a 275g bean container and a 1.8-litre tank.
- Size and weight: 433mm long, 246mm wide, 371mm high and 8kg.
- Noise: SilentBrew with Quiet Mark certification. On the 3300, Philips says this makes it 40% quieter than earlier Philips models.
- Descaling: an AquaClean filter on the 3300. Philips says that if you change it when prompted, you won’t need to descale for up to 5,000 cups.
Who it isn’t for: anyone hoping the 4400 is bigger or quieter. On Philips’ specs, it isn’t.
Downsides
- 3300: no user profiles and a short menu. Currys lists wi-fi on the EP3347/90, but Philips UK’s spec table says no connectivity.
- 4400: no current UK price or stock found on 3 Oct 2026.
- Both: 275g beans and 1.8 litres of water mean regular refills for heavy users.
Alternatives
- Philips 2200 EP2220/10: £279 at John Lewis, checked 3 Oct 2026, prices can change. It has a classic steam wand rather than LatteGo. See our Philips 2200 review.
- Philips 5500 EP5546/70: £669.99 at Currys and Philips UK, checked 3 Oct 2026, prices can change. Philips lists LatteGo and a longer menu.
