FAQs

What type of coffee can I use with this machine?

The Philips SENSEO® Original Plus Kaffeepadmaschine is exclusively designed to work with SENSEO® coffee pods. Other types of coffee, such as ground coffee or espresso capsules, are not compatible.

How do I choose between a mild and strong coffee?

The machine features an intuitive slider located on the front. Simply slide it to your desired position to select either a mild long coffee or a short strong coffee before pressing the brew button.

Can I brew two cups at the same time?

Yes, the SENSEO® Original Plus can brew one or two cups of coffee simultaneously in less than one minute. Just place two pods in the double pod holder and press the 2-cup button.

What is Coffee Boost Technology?

Coffee Boost Technology is a unique feature that distributes hot water evenly over the entire SENSEO® coffee pod through 45 aroma nozzles. This ensures that all the coffee grounds are utilized, extracting the richest flavor and aroma from your coffee.

How often should I descale my machine?

Descaling frequency depends on your local water hardness and how often you use the machine. As a general guideline, it is recommended to descale every 3 months. You might notice a need for descaling if brewing slows down or coffee volume decreases.

Does the machine turn off automatically?

Yes, the Philips SENSEO® Original Plus features an automatic shut-off function. It will turn off automatically after brewing to save energy, enhancing convenience and efficiency.

What is Crema Plus Technology?

Crema Plus Technology ensures that every cup of SENSEO® coffee brewed by this machine is topped with a particularly fine and velvety crema layer. This rich crema enhances the texture and overall coffee experience.

Troubleshooting

Coffee does not brew or is very weak.

Check if the water reservoir is sufficiently filled. Ensure the coffee pod is placed correctly in the pod holder, with the convex side facing downwards. If the issue persists, consider descaling the machine as mineral build-up can affect water flow.

No or poor crema on the coffee.

Ensure you are using fresh SENSEO® coffee pods. The quality of crema can diminish with stale pods. Also, make sure the machine is clean, especially the coffee spout and pod holder, as blockages can affect crema formation. Descaling may also help.

Machine won't turn on or has no power.

Verify that the power plug is securely inserted into a working electrical outlet. Try plugging another appliance into the same outlet to confirm it's functional. Ensure the water reservoir is correctly placed, as some models have a safety switch related to its position. If the direct start function is active, the machine might start brewing immediately after heating, giving the impression it didn't 'turn on' normally.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup

  1. Unpack: Remove all packaging materials and ensure all parts are present.
  2. Rinse: Before first use, fill the water reservoir with fresh tap water. Run two full brewing cycles without a coffee pad to rinse the internal system.
  3. Place: Position the machine on a stable, flat surface near an electrical outlet.

Compatibility

This coffee machine is specifically designed for use with SENSEO® coffee pods. It is not compatible with ground coffee, coffee beans, or other capsule systems. Using non-SENSEO® pods may damage the machine and void your warranty.

Care and Maintenance

  • Daily Cleaning: After each use, empty and rinse the water reservoir. Wipe down the exterior of the machine with a damp cloth.
  • Pod Holder: Regularly clean the coffee pod holder and the coffee spout with warm water and a soft brush to prevent blockages.
  • Descaling: Regular descaling is crucial to maintain optimal performance and extend the lifespan of your machine. The frequency depends on your water hardness and usage, but it's generally recommended every 3 months or when you notice slower brewing times or reduced coffee volume. Use a descaling solution specifically designed for coffee machines, following the product instructions carefully.
  • Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or scouring pads, as these can scratch the machine's surfaces.
