Café Aromis Series 8000

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I begin writing this review as my Philips Café Aromis 8000 Series prepares my oat latte at the click of a button. Over the past couple of weeks I've carefully fettled the various settings that this machine has to offer - the aroma strength, grinder settings, temperature range - to consistently make my coffee turn out exactly how I like it. If I'm feeling more adventurous I can select one of the 50 preset drinks available which makes this machine perfect for making coffees for guests, without the need to be absent during the process, just a quick swipe on the super responsive 4.3" touchscreen and a couple of button presses and a fresh cup is ready within minutes as I welcome them to my home. The 1.6L (54oz) water tank and 275g (9.7oz) bean hopper results in being able to quickly make several cups without constantly filling the machine. The coffee machine quietly finishes my coffee and I mix my heated Oat milk into the cup, sitting down to yet another perfect blend. Clean-up is equally as easy, the dishwasher proof components can quickly be disassembled and the filter is good for up to 5,000 cups before needing to be replaced. The ability to have such an easy experience without sacrificing quality means the only issue I'm having is wanting to make cup after cup! Truthfully it's incredibly difficult to find any sort of criticism for this machine. It appears that every component has been carefully designed and no expense has been spared in quality, which is reflected in the price tag. If you're in the market for a coffee machine in this price range then the Philips Café Aromis 8000 Series has to be one of the best options out there, providing a compromise-free experience that quietly exudes quality.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This coffee machine is exceptional. I have only been using this machine for 6 weeks and it’s changed the coffee game for me. Being half Italian I am a coffee fanatic and love good quality coffee. I have had so many different coffee machines however this is brilliant because you can have barista quality coffee in your home in the touch of a button.. literally. This machine is so easy to use, clean and set up and the best part is you can save your favourite coffee and use the machine from the app too. You can make every single style of coffee imaginable all at the click of a button. It’s on the pricey side however it’s worth every penny. I would definitely recommend this coffee machine to everyone. You don’t need to have any skill or knowledge about coffee to use this machine. highly recommend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely love this coffee machine! The coffee tastes rich and fresh every time, and it’s incredibly easy to use. The milk frother makes smooth, creamy foam that’s perfect for cappuccinos and lattes. It’s quiet, stylish, and very easy to clean. Definitely one of the best coffee machines I’ve ever owned. Highly recommended! Amazing

I'm really impressed with this machine! It makes fantastic coffee very quickly without compromising on taste. Highly recommended for anyone who wants high quality coffee in no time.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using this coffee machine for a couple of weeks, and I'm really happy with my experience so far! I found it straightforward to set up, with simple instructions on the app and on the machine's digital display. The digital display feels premium, making it easy to browse the extensive drinks menu. Drinks can be altered to the user's taste, and profiles can be used to save favourites. The milk canisters are easy to attach and detach, and I found it useful that these can be stored in the fridge to keep milk fresh. The coffee dispenser easily slides upwards and downwards to accommodate different sized mugs. The machine makes a bit of noise, but no more than you would expect of a coffee machine. I liked that the grinder setting was easily adjustable, meaning you can tweak this to get the setting best for your beans. The machine produces excellent quality coffee, and I have enjoyed both the hot and chilled varieties. Using this machine is a great experience from start to end.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What I like most about the Philips Aromis 8000 is how easy it is to customise your coffee. The different drink options are handy, the touch controls are responsive, and it heats up really quickly. It feels well made and has been a great machine to use every day.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The **Philips Café Aromis Series 8000 Fully Automatic Coffee Machine** is an excellent coffee machine packed with features and customisation options. While it's a little larger than I'd prefer, it still fits well on most worktops. A more compact design would make it even better for smaller kitchens. Setup is quick and simple, with only a few removable parts. The instruction booklet guides you through the initial setup, and the intuitive digital display makes customising your drinks easy. The large bean hopper means less frequent refilling, and the adjustable grinder settings let you personalise each coffee to your taste. The wide variety of drinks is impressive, and you can fine-tune and save your favourites to your own profile for quick access. The touchscreen is easy to use, and connecting the machine to the app via Wi-Fi unlocks even more features, including remote drink preparation and extra coffee recipes. My favourite, especially in the summer, is the iced coffee. The Café Aromis also includes separate milk containers for hot and cold milk, making it even more versatile. It's easy to clean and maintain, making it perfect for everyday use. Overall, it's a fantastic coffee machine that delivers great coffee and plenty of customisation. My only minor criticism is that the design could be a little sleeker. **9/10.**

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been testing this machine for 2 weeks now and have found it very easy to use even for bean-to-cup beginners. The paper instructions which come with it are however useless! Use the touchscreen, which is excellent. There are useful user profiles for everyone in your household to save their favourite coffees. This machine makes hot and cold milk drinks with very little effort. Great for lattes/ iced lattes and milk frothing is automated. We did have better experience with beans rather than ground coffee though. A few mishaps with ground coffee saw us give up and returned to beans. Each coffee is fully customisable in strength, milk/coffee ratio and temperature which is a real bonus This is a very expensive machine and I would have liked a little less plastic. It is is large and there is noise, so perhaps something to consider if you only have a small or open plan kitchen The milk carafes have crevices that need careful cleaning and I would like a spare for non dairy milk when we both have a coffee at the same time without the need to constantly wash out carafes. The brew group cleaning is easy to forget and a reminder on the touchscreen would be a useful addition Not withstanding a couple of minor points, it makes a great range of quality coffees! Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a few other Phillips products and thought to add this fully automatic coffee machine to my line up. It has been a joy to use and works great. I especially like the ability to customize my drinks using the touch screen. The touch screen is bright and easy to use, and the built in light makes night use easy. The design of the machine is modern and sleek, blending into my kitchen and the compact design lets it sit easily in place. The milk containers are easy to use and are easily swapped or placed in the fridge; with one button i can make milk drinks which is a delight. All in all, this is a great machine for anyone who wants a fully hands off coffee machine.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] From the moment it arrived, it felt like a premium coffee machine that looks great and offers so much more than a standard coffee maker. Setup was really straightforward and took around 20 minutes. The touchscreen guided me through each step, making the process simple even before making my first drink. The touchscreen itself is one of my favourite features it is clear, responsive and very easy to use. I love that you can create your own drink profiles and save your preferences. Being able to adjust and save the coffee amount, water amount and temperature settings means everyone can have their coffee exactly how they like it. I prefer a smaller, hotter coffee, while my partner likes a larger drink, so having separate profiles has been really useful and means our drinks are always consistent. The choice of drinks is amazing, with over 50 hot and cold options available. I have especially loved making iced drinks, with the iced latte and iced macchiato becoming my favourites. It really does make creating cafe style drinks at home feel effortless. The coffee quality has been consistently good, and on the highest temperature setting my coffee reaches around 79°C in the cup, which is perfect for me as I like my drinks hot. I also love that you can use both coffee beans and pre ground coffee, giving you more flexibility if you want to try different coffees or use decaf. The milk system has impressed me too. It creates a lovely creamy foam and works really well for lattes, cappuccinos and iced drinks. The only thing I would have liked is the ability to adjust the milk texture, as some people may prefer more or less foam depending on their drink preference. The design is definitely a highlight. It looks very premium on my kitchen worktop, and I think it is a great size compared to other bean to cup machines it offers lots of features without feeling too bulky. The finish doesn’t show fingerprints easily, and the cup light is a lovely extra touch. I like that you can choose whether it is always on, switched off or only lights up while your drink is being made. The only design preference I have is that I would personally have preferred the milk container to be built into the machine rather than at the front. However, I understand why it has been designed this way, as it makes swapping between milk options for different drinks easier and also makes cleaning more convenient. The SilentBrew technology does help with the grinder noise, which is actually the quietest part of the process. However, I wouldn’t describe the whole machine as silent, as you can still hear the water dispensing, brewing and milk preparation. This is expected with a fully automatic coffee machine and the quality of the drinks makes it a worthwhile trade off. Cleaning and maintenance have been much easier than expected. The automatic self-rinse feature is really useful for keeping the machine clean, although it did make me jump the first few times as it automatically starts when the machine switches off. Once you know it is happening, it is a great feature. The drip tray and grounds container are both very easy to remove and empty, with no mess. I also liked that it connects easily to Alexa through the HomeID app, which is a nice extra feature for a smart home setup. Overall, I absolutely love it. Working from home means it gets used multiple times a day and it has quickly become part of my daily routine. It feels like a premium machine with a huge range of options, excellent customisation, easy maintenance and the ability to create cafe style drinks at home. It has definitely made my coffee routine more enjoyable.
