Philips Saeco Royal - Perfect espresso from bean to cup


Philips Saeco Royal HD8930 , just the right blend of innovation and customization, 
perfect espresso from bean to cup.

Automatic espresso machines are designed with convenience and efficiency in mind. But while these machines have been successful at saving time and energy, many do so at the expense of flavor.

However, the world renowned Philips Saeco begs to differ. It offers just the right blend of innovation and customization rolled into its Philips Saeco Royal HD8930. According to Philips, coffee lovers can now enjoy their daily cup of joe that’s customizable to their preference, from bean to cup at just the touch of a button.

“The rich Italian heritage behind Saeco solidifies the capability of our automatic espresso machines to deliver unyielding performance cup after cup,” remarks Ms. Pia Umayam, Business Development Manager for Philips Domestic Appliances.

She also adds that the Royal is the perfect automatic espresso machine for the discerning coffee lover, offering the most aromatic and flavorful espressos, lattes, and cappuccinos without any fuss.

The Royal enables the user to adjust every element of coffee including coffee length, temperature as well as strength or the amount of coffee to be ground, to get the desired taste, texture and volume. Moreover, it also has an insulated milk container and cup warmer, offers large capacity containers and is highly ergonomic.

“Philips Saeco is synonymous with innovation and convenience. Whether it’s refilling beans or water, emptying the coffee dump box or drip tray, or accessing compartments, everything can be done quickly and easily,” she explains.

The Philips Saeco Royal raises the bar for automatic espresso machines with its consistently solid performance. “The Royal delivers on Philips’ commitment to making innovations that help make people’s lives easier every day,” Ms. Umayam concludes.

Trance Till Dawn History:


The Trance 'Til Dawn (TTD) Family is a group of young, loyal enthusiast of Electronic Dance Music (EDM) from Manila, Philippines with a passion to Dance.  We are promoting a healthy family of honorable clubbers and ravers.  We serve as an advocate of Peace, Love, Unity and Respect. Music is our weapon against ignorance.  Everyday is a celebration of passion and unorthodox friendship

Basically, TTD was formed by a small group of eccentric individuals who met at a Bigfish party back in 2009. The friendship turned out to be a fruitful one, each of them having a passion for Trance music, dancing, and making friends.  They threw the best house parties there is in their sub-culture of ravers, and as time passed by, things evolved. The two people who were the "iPod hoggers" eventually learned music formally in the form of DJing. While another individual just so happened to be immersed in the club scene and had the right rapport with the people in the business, while the rest had the undeniable energy that turn heads.  Then come 3 years later, TTD was approached by the only club that plays non-commercial electronic dance music, which is TIME in Manila, and they were basically given a playground to their own thing.  At first they were under Driven Manila, but after some months, grew to be an independent host at the club.

Our nights used to be called Afterdark, then when we became an independent group, we held an event called Transit, because we Transitioning to a new stage of us being an events group.  We then settle to United Under Dance for our branding name.
