Philips Cafe Aromis 8000 Series Bean to Cup Coffee Machine - Silver

A brilliant all round bean to cup coffee machine

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve had the Philips 8000 Series Café Aromis for a few weeks now and have spent the time testing out all of its features, drink options and customisation settings. Overall, I’ve been very impressed with what the machine offers. The biggest strength is the excellent selection of drinks. There’s a huge variety to choose from, including both hot and cold options, so there’s pretty much something for everyone. Whether you want a straightforward espresso or a more elaborate milk-based or cold drink, the range of options is one of the best things about this machine. There’s also a high level of drink customisation. You can adjust the strength and size of your drinks, as well as create and use different user profiles. This makes it particularly useful in a household where everyone has different preferences. The touchscreen is another standout feature. It’s very intuitive and responsive, and makes navigating through the different drinks and settings extremely easy. The whole process feels streamlined, and you don’t need to spend ages working out how to use the machine. The machine is also relatively quiet compared with other bean-to-cup machines I’ve used, which is a nice bonus, particularly when making a coffee early in the morning. There are a couple of areas where I think it could be improved. The water tank is a little too small for someone who mainly drinks black coffee. If you regularly drink larger Americano-style drinks, you’ll find yourself having to refill the water container fairly frequently. I also think the espresso quality could be better. While the espresso is perfectly enjoyable, I’ve compared it with other bean-to-cup machines, particularly De’Longhi models, and I think De’Longhi produces a better-quality espresso with more depth and intensity. Despite those points, I think the Philips 8000 Series Café Aromis is a great all-round bean-to-cup machine. The sheer number of drinks, excellent customisation, intuitive touchscreen and relatively quiet operation make it a very versatile machine.

Philips Café Aromis 8000 Series

[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.

Amazing coffee machine

[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 is so good

[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

Fast and makes great coffee!

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.

Quality coffee at home

[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.

Love it

[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.

A Coffee Machine Built for Everyday Convenience

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall the Philips Aromis Series 8000 is an average coffee machine for busy households. The build quality is excellent, and it has a premium feel from the moment you start using it. The touchscreen interface is intuitive, making it quick to choose drinks and adjust settings without any confusion. I also liked that it includes both hot and cold jugs, which adds flexibility for different drinks - hot and cold. The option to change the coffee strength and independently adjust the coffee and milk volumes means everyone can create a drink that suits their taste. On the downside, the machine is noticeably noisy when making coffee, and the flavour, while good, doesn’t quite reach the standard of a manually prepared espresso. It’s best suited to people who value speed and convenience over perfection.

Great for all coffee lovers

[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.**

Love

[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
