Only when used together will you be rewarded with a sensational cup of SENSEO\ coffee with the delicious SENSEO\ foam layer.

To ensure a smooth and full coffee taste, you should keep the following things in mind:

Fresh water

Use fresh water every day. If you have not used the coffee machine for three days, you have to flush it with fresh water before you use it again (see section ‘Flushing’ in chapter ‘Cleaning’).

Fresh coffee pods

Use the SENSEO\ coffee pods that have been specially developed by Douwe Egberts for your SENSEO\ coffee machine for a full, round taste. The Douwe Egberts SENSEO\ coffee pods will stay fresh longer if you store them in an airtight storage container.

A clean machine

Clean and descale your Philips SENSEO\ coffee machine regularly (see chapters ‘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 section ‘Flushing’ in chapter ‘Cleaning’).
