FAQs
How do I clean the LatteGo Pro milk system?
After each use, detach the LatteGo Pro system, rinse all parts under running water, and reassemble. For a deeper clean, the container can be placed in the top rack of your dishwasher.
Can I use pre-ground coffee?
This machine is designed primarily for whole coffee beans. A separate compartment for pre-ground coffee may be available for specific uses like decaffeinated coffee, but always refer to your user manual for compatibility.
What is the purpose of the AquaClean filter?
The AquaClean filter ensures pure water for your coffee and significantly reduces limescale buildup in the machine, extending its lifespan and maintaining optimal performance. It needs replacing approximately every 5000 cups or two months.
How do I descale the coffee machine?
The machine will prompt you when descaling is required. Use the recommended Philips descaling solution or a suitable alternative, following the specific descaling program outlined in the user manual.
Can I make hot and cold milk foam?
Yes, the LatteGo Pro system is designed to produce both hot and cold milk foam, allowing you to create a variety of drinks, from traditional cappuccinos to cold coffee specialties.
How do I connect the machine to the HomeID app?
Download the HomeID app on your smartphone, ensure your machine is powered on and Wi-Fi is enabled, then follow the in-app instructions to pair your device with the coffee machine.
What kind of coffee beans should I use?
The Philips Café Aromis is designed for use with whole coffee beans. Medium to dark roasts are generally recommended for espresso-based drinks, but you can experiment with different types to find your preference.
Troubleshooting
Machine not turning on
Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check if the main power switch on the back of the machine is turned on.
Coffee is weak or watery
Adjust the coffee strength setting to a higher level. Check that the bean hopper is filled and the grinder is functioning correctly. Ensure the brew group is clean and properly seated.
Milk frother not working or producing poor foam
Ensure the LatteGo Pro system is correctly assembled and attached. Check that the milk container is filled to the minimum level. Make sure the dispensing spout is clear of blockages. Clean the LatteGo Pro system thoroughly.
Error message on display
Refer to the specific error code in the user manual for detailed instructions. Common errors relate to water level, bean supply, or cleaning cycles.
Machine making loud noises
Grinding beans naturally produces some noise; SilentBrew technology minimizes this. If excessive noise occurs during brewing or pumping, check for blockages in the water or coffee paths, or ensure the brew group is correctly installed.
