Introduction
With Douwe Egberts SENSEO\ coffee pods, you can enjoy a perfect cup
of coffee at any time of the day. Ever y cup is freshly brewed to give you
that smooth and full taste.
Using more than 250 years of coffee expertise, Douwe Egberts has
roasted and ground specially selected coffee beans that, when prepared
using a special brewing method co-developed with Philips, ensure a full,
smooth taste and delicious foam layer. This joint creation, known as the
SENSEO\ coffee pod system, consists of the Philips SENSEO\ coffee
machine and specially developed Douwe Egberts SENSEO\ coffee pods.
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 ush 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, ush the machine before you use it again (see
section ‘Flushing’ in chapter ‘Cleaning’).
