I find this a versatile automatic coffee machine. With the clear touchscreen, I can make many different coffee specialties at the touch of a button. Only the filter coffee filler cap sometimes gets damp.
Handy touchscreen
The color display is easy to navigate. I can easily choose my coffee and adjust the strength and quantity on the fly. The menus are logically structured, so I don't have to spend ages searching. This is handy when I want to make a quick cappuccino in the morning. The icons are clear and large enough, so I can quickly tap the right drink. While brewing, I see a progress bar, so I know when the cup is ready.
Many coffee specialties
Every day, I alternate between cappuccino, latte macchiato, and black coffee. The machine brews each drink automatically, so I don't have to do anything other than place my cup and attach the milk container. There are plenty of options to choose from, from a strong espresso to a larger flat white. When I have guests, I quickly make several cups in a row. The filter coffee filler cap gets a bit damp. I have to dry it regularly.
Control remotely with the app
With the app, I can choose a drink from the comfort of my couch and adjust settings without standing in front of the machine. I also see maintenance notifications and start a brewing cycle exactly when I want. That saves time in the morning. The app remembers my preferences, so the same settings appear directly on the display. I can quickly switch between profiles without having to search through menus.
Makes hot and cold milk froth
The milk specialties are rich and creamy. It's great that the machine also makes cold milk froth for iced coffee. On hot days, I press the cold option and quickly have a refreshing coffee without any extra steps. Rinsing the milk system is effortless. The froth texture is airy when cold and deliciously rich when hot, which complements both drinks well. I adjust the amount of froth for each drink to maintain a balanced coffee flavor.
Save personal coffee recipes
I save my favorite combinations, such as a slightly stronger cappuccino with extra milk froth. Then I brew the same one every time with a single press. I also create profiles for housemates, so everyone can easily find their own coffee recipe. When I create a new variation, I save it next to my standard recipe. This way, I can easily try something new without losing my favorite coffee recipe.

From the moment you unpack the Philips Café Aromis 8000, you immediately notice how sturdy it feels. The machine has a real heft and sits very stable on the countertop. When setting it up for the first time, you notice how clearly everything is laid out. The step-by-step menu guides you effortlessly through all the options, and the touchscreen is quick and easy to use.
What immediately surprised me was the high spout. You don't have to tilt or cram anything; even a large to-go cup slides underneath without any hassle. This is a detail that provides a tremendous amount of convenience in practice, and not all brands achieve it yet.
The coffee quality is simply excellent. The machine extracts beautiful flavors from the beans, and because you can easily adjust both strength and volume, you can create the perfect cup for every member of the family. That makes it very flexible.
The milk system also does its job well. The froth is a bit less firm than you get with a steam wand, but for me, it's actually nice that it's a bit more fluid. The machine can also froth cold, which works surprisingly well. The downside is that you use two milk tanks, but that seems necessary for both hot and cold brew to function properly.
I find the profile options really useful. Because each user only sees their own coffees, the menu remains uncluttered and clear.
The noise level is the point I'm less enthusiastic about. While grinding is not too bad, you can clearly hear mechanical noises during the rinsing cycles and the intermediate steps. And during brewing, the cup vibrates noticeably on the grate.
I also find the cleaning of the milk tank less logical. With our previous Philips machine (PicoBaristo), the prompt to rinse automatically appeared after every cappuccino. Now you have to look for it yourself in the maintenance menu, which is less convenient during the morning rush.
All in all, it's a nice and versatile coffee machine that's clearly designed with ease of use in mind. The high spout, good coffee quality, and convenient profiles make it truly enjoyable for daily use.

A great machine that's very easy to use. After installation, although it does take a little time to get it right the first time, you're ready to go. It's great that you have two types of milk containers, one for hot and one for cold. This keeps the milk for cold drinks fresher for longer.
