Introduction
With the SENSEO
®
coffee machine by Philips you can enjoy a perfect
cup of coffee - topped with a rich frothy coffee layer - whenever you
feel like it. Each cup is freshly brewed, so you're always sure of that
pure, smooth taste. The patented SENSEO
®
brewing system from
Philips in combination with the special SENSEO
®
coffee pods makes
sure you get only the very best in flavor and aroma from freshly
roasted coffee.
To optimize the taste of the coffee, you should keep the following
aspects in mind:
Fresh water
Use fresh water every day. Before using for the first time or if you
have not used the machine for some time, rinse the water reservoir,
fill it with fresh water and flush the machine before you begin brewing
coffee (see ‘Preparing the machine for use’).
SENSEO
®
coffee pods
In order to avoid damage, use only SENSEO
®
coffee pods that have
been specifically developed for your SENSEO
®
coffee machine for a
pure, smooth taste. The SENSEO
®
coffee pods will stay fresh longer if
you close the package by means of the keep-fresh seal after use or if
you store them in a storage container.
A clean machine
Scale build-up may cause overheating of the heating element and may
make the safety cut-out operate prematurely, switching off before the
water boils. Scale may also reduce the working life of the machine and
may lengthen the brewing time.
Clean and descale your Philips SENSEO
®
coffee machine regularly
(see 'Cleaning' and 'Descaling'). Remove used coffee pods after
brewing. If a used pod has been left in the coffee machine and you have
not used the machine for some time, flush the machine before you use
it again (see 'Preparing the machine for use').
