Looking for a coffee maker that will prepare your morning as well as your favorite coffee shop? The new Philips Café Aromis is a premium espresso machine that promises exactly that, with a menu of 50 different drinks (including cold brews) that can be customized using what Philips calls a “conversational barista assistant.”
You can access the Barista Assistant through the coffee machine itself or through the Philips HomeID mobile app. Follow the on-screen instructions and the Barista Assistant will modify the machine’s internal brew settings to create the flavor you prefer using your chosen beans, no barista experience required on your part.
There are also five user profiles, so you don’t need to worry about someone accidentally changing your custom latte settings.

Not getting as much flavor as you would like? The Aromis Coffee offers seven different intensity settings, which increase the dose of coffee to give your drink a boost. Most bean-to-cup coffee makers only offer two or three strength options, so it will be interesting to see how much punch the Aromis can deliver.
Philips makes some of the best espresso machines I’ve tried, so I have high expectations for the Café Aromis. Just a few weeks ago, the compact Philips Baristina impressed me with its clever one-touch brewing system, which makes brewing fresh coffee beans as simple as using pods (with much less waste). I hope to put the Café Aromis to the test soon and find out if it deserves a spot in my roundup of the best coffee makers.
The Aromis Coffee is now available for pre-order for $1,699.99 (around £1,300 / AU$2,400) in the US. I’ve asked the company if it has plans for an international launch and will update this story when I know more.
