With SENSEO, you can enjoy a perfect cup of coffee with a delicious crema layer whenever you feel like it. Each cup is freshly brewed, so you’re always sure of a pure and round taste. SENSEO combines a unique brewing method from Philips with convenient coffee pods from Douwe Egberts, available in different blends of fine roast and ground coffee. Together they make sure you only get the very best in flavour and aroma from the coffee. To optimize the taste of the coffee, keep the following aspects in mind: Fresh water, fresh coffee pods, and a clean machine.

Additional sections describe regular cleaning, descaling procedures, frost‑free storage, replacement parts, environmental disposal, warranty information and a troubleshooting guide that lists common problems such as indicator‑light signals, leaks and altitude limitations.
