Café Aromis Series 8000Philips Fully Automatic Coffee Machine

A huge variety of coffee options, which have been a real treat to taste our way through! A lot of them being drinks we'd never tried before. No complaints on how it prepared our drinks, and honestly, a lot of them better than what I've had made by real baristas out there. It's super easy to use, with a gorgeous full HD, colour touch screen - and the drink images sure tempt you to try more! Fantastic customisation levels on all drinks to truly make it YOURS! Pros: +++ Bean grind calibration feature is mind-blowing!!! No more guessing which number to set the grinder to. ++ The full-colour HD touch screen is genuinely impressive for this sort of appliance. - Sustainable packaging - Get Started QR code on the flap so you know what do before you even start truly unpacking - Excellent getting-started videos Con: - The milk spout sits a little far and high from where the coffee comes out, limiting you to wide cups/mugs or risking spills. Could do with some design iteration.

Really happy!It took a few test runs to figure out the settings and find what worked best for us, but that's part of the fun. One feature I particularly love is the ability to set up different profiles. I can make my partner's coffee without having to remember all their preferred settings every time. My daughter is also a big fan of the milk froth setting!The machine grinds the beans really well, and having everything automated with just the touch of a button makes it so convenient. The milk froth could be slightly less, but that's a minor thing.My only real disappointment is the hot water function. Since it comes through the same outlet as the milk, it doesn't quite deliver the hot water experience I'd expect.On the positive side, the machine rinses itself every time you switch it off, all the removable parts are dishwasher safe, and cleaning the machine itself is surprisingly easy. I've owned a few coffee machines before, but cleaning was always a hassle and we stopped using.

As a coffee enthusiast I was really excited to try the Philips Aromis 8000. I was not left disappointed, overall it’s a terrific machine. I was blown away by the number of pre-programmed recipes. The machine itself is ultra easy to use with clear navigation through the menus on a magnificent touchscreen. The screen itself is nice and large and very reactive to the touch. The machine is easy to clean and disassemble, and not overly large that it takes too much space on the kitchen counter. I found it heats up very quickly and really very quiet. Of the drinks I’ve tried so far I am really impressed, the coffee is great tasting, I especially loved the iced lattes given we live in Nth QLD. The only issues so far is that the measured shots for milk and coffee are not all that accurate. I’ve found they fall short of the desired volumes but you can easily counter that by adding extra. Also the milk foam for hot drinks is not very fine, rather large bubbles. Overall great machine!

I've often looked at the convenience of pod machines but honestly, nothing beats fresh coffee. The set up was so easy. As soon as you turn on the machine, the screen guides you through the whole set up. This was so easy as quite often instructions on a pamphlet are hard to follow. A few test cups made and I was ready to start making a cup for myself. Again, everything is right on the screen and so easy to follow. The inclusion of 2 carafes was also a bonus. One for hot milk drinks and one for cold. Just pop the milk in the appropriate one and I was ready to select. Cafe Latte is always a favourite. Also being able to choose the strength right there on the screen was very useful. No need to swap out different strength beans. Machine wasn't overly noisy so I could make my morning cup without waking the household. And let me tell you about the cleaning! Everything slides out easily to remove and wash. The ease of Philips made me feel like a professional in no time!

Over the years I’ve had all types of coffee machine: from manual espresso to multiple pod machines and even went back to plunger and cold brew machines - this one does it all better than the other and is so much easier to use. The set up was all easy and done with the colour screen guiding me - a nice surprise!! The App worked right away and while it sounds over the top, I’ve found it super useful! I love to drink Cold Brew but it takes about 5 minutes to brew - so I leave a empty glass in the machine before I go to bed and then use the app in the morning to begin brewing my coffee while I shower! I arrive in the kitchen and my coffee is waiting (just add ice!) I’m fussy about cold brew and this machine delivers!! We also drink milk-based coffees and the best thing is that you can really customise your coffee. Adjust the amount of coffee (and strength) and the amount of milk. With the user profiles you can save your favourite drinks from the massive selection - it’s all so easy!

This machine is absolutely one of the best coffee machines there is, from setup to use this machine was easy to setup with the onscreen instructions and very easy to use. The touchscreen is easy to use and navigate through. Never will I buy a coffee again this machine exceeded expectations. It’s quiet compared to others and with 50 different coffee selections each day is like a new adventure. The customisable coffee options for size strength and temperature is a game changer. Each house member can have their own profile that saves your preference. It’s easy to clean and looks great. The auto rinse cleaner system is a great feature. The app is a great feature you can make your coffee from bed and it’s ready and waiting for you when you get up! Overall I have not found a single fault with this machine and highly recommend it

This machine is a game changer! With the convenience of real coffee and none of the mess that comes along with most machines, it connects to wifi and allows you to create your own custom cuppa via your phone app! I really loved the ability to clean the milk jug easily as there are no tubes, it can just be rinsed under a tap. The thoughtful brushed silver finishes make any stray water drops seem subtle, and honestly compliments the kitchen bench top nicely. If I was making suggestions, I would love to adjust the milk temperature even more, as I found when requesting “warm”, it is still too hot to drink straight away- this is such a minor point, I tested the machine for over two weeks without finding anything remarkable otherwise. Would I invest in this machine? Yep! It satisfies even the fussiest coffee fan!

I’ve really enjoyed using this machine setup was very easy with a touchscreen walking me through everything. It looks great on the bench and has a surprisingly small footprint. The coffee has been excellent with plenty of options to customise. My favourite is actually the iced latte without the ice it gives a lovely cooler coffee that’s ready to drink straight away without being watered down and it’s been a hit with several people at work too. The profiles are great of customise drinks in the app. Save them and they appear on the machine ready to go. The automatic reminder and a quick clean of the milk carafe is another nice touch. It’s genuinely easy to use in several people at work picked it up after a very very quick explanation. My only complaints are that the hot milk is very hot with no obvious temperature adjustment and the high milk outlet can splash when using short cups. Overall I’d happily buy this machine myself and keep it.

This coffee machine is luxurious. It is easy to set up and use. The display screen is easy to navigate and use all the functions including profile setting. I personally use the app on my iphone. It is super easy to set profiles, save settings for each coffee function / mug. We have a few different mugs so I set the coffee/milk/hot water to the cup size in mls. The machine is easy to pull apart and clean. After use, it prompts to rinse. The latte go milk container comes with 2, 1 for cold milk & 1 for hot milk. The cons: the latte go milk container drips alot and should have a cap when storing back in the fridge. The ml increments should be smaller, maybe in 10’s. Hot water is in 50ml and the coffee/milk is 20ml. Overall, this machine is a massive hit in our house hold and everyone is happy as there preferences are all met. Thank you!

This is a brilliant machine plain and simple! The set up was way too easy, using the app too good and the process is quick and smooth. The noise initially was quite loud but as it’s been used has toned down. Having the app being able to get my coffee moving before I leave bed has been the real guilty pleasure of it.
