When the Café Aromis 6000 Series drops

Espresso machines drop hardest around Black Friday and in the weeks before Christmas. Leave your email address and pick below what you want to hear about.

The Café Aromis 6000 is the smaller sibling of the Café Aromis 8000, with the same size and the same 1.9 litre water tank. Philips lists 25 pre-programmed drinks, from espresso and cappuccino to iced coffee, seven strength levels and a ceramic grinder with 12 settings.

The difference is mainly milk. This one has a single LatteGo Pro Hot jug in the box, for hot milk froth; the 8000 adds one for cold froth and lists 54 drinks. Anyone who mostly drinks cappuccino and latte has enough with the 6000.

Who for: Anyone who wants a broad menu of hot milk drinks and has no need for cold milk froth.

This is what we know for certain. Dimensions and capacities the manufacturer or the shop does not state are left out rather than estimated. A measurement or a tank volume that is not there is one we do not have.

What does it cost a year to maintain?

A worked example, not a specification: 2 cups a day (730 a year), the intervals from the maker's manual, with the water filter the maker recommends, and the lowest price in our catalog today.

The maker states no maintenance intervals for this machine that we have been able to read.

How often you descale depends on your water hardness. Where the maker gives no interval for it, we leave it out rather than estimate it.

Beans, counted separately

6.57 kilos a year at 9 grams a cup: €108.34 with the cheapest kilo in our catalog, €445.45 with the dearest.

Accessories that fit this machine

Maintenance

Essential

Descaler

Limescale is what most machines die of, and vinegar attacks the seals. A liquid descaler declared suitable for espresso machines does the same job as the maker’s own branded fluid, usually for less.

Maintenance

Recommended

AquaClean water filter

Philips counts a considerably longer descaling interval when this filter is fitted. Replace it on time: a saturated filter does nothing, and the machine keeps counting regardless.

Beans for this machine

Every bean fits every machine. What differs is the order: on a bean-to-cup the 100% arabica beans come first, because dark-roasted blends carrying robusta give off more oil and that clogs a built-in grinder sooner.
