Product Description
The Philips senseo coffee pod machine is an excellent way to enjoy the convenience of a cup of freshly brewed coffee. It is easy to use. Just switch on, wait for the red light to stop blinking and then insert one of the Senseo coffee pads and press the one or two cup buttons. The coffee comes out in under a minute and tastes delicious. It has a spout that is adjustable that can fit any size mug. It is also very lightweight and easy to clean. The reservoir for water holds about 3 mugs. It will notify you when it needs refilling by flashing quickly.
The machine is made of high quality materials and comes with a 1 year limited warranty. The parts that are removable, such as the reservoir, pod holder the coffee spout and drip tray, are all dishwasher safe. There are a variety of flavors of coffee pods that are reusable. You can also purchase eco-pods, which are cheaper.
Senseo pods are specially developed by Douwe Egberts to ensure a smooth coffee flavor and delicious foam layer. They are made of carefully selected coffee beans that are roasted and ground to accommodate a variety of tastes. There are many flavors and blends to choose from, including long and strong coffees. The most recent versions include Intensity Select, a brand new technology that lets you choose the strength of your coffee.
Coffee Boost technology has 45 aroma nozzles, which give the coffee a more intense flavor. Cream Plus technology guarantees the thinnest, most velvety layer of coffee.
This system has some drawbacks. It's not suitable for large families, or drinkers who consume many cups of coffee, or unless they're willing to pay five times more per cup. Second, it's not an espresso maker. it uses a light pressure to brew coffee, but doesn't create the thick froth known as crema that you find with an espresso.
Another issue is that the spout on this machine is very small, so it can be a challenge to pour your coffee into a regular mug. If you're willing to give up for a smaller spout, this is a fantastic coffee maker that's easy to use and makes an instant and efficient cup of coffee every time.
Features
This is a great small machine. It's simple to use and makes coffee quickly. Turn on and wait until the red light ceases to flash after which you can insert a pod and press one or more cups, and the machine does the rest. Within 30 seconds, it has made a good cup of decent coffee. the spout can be adjusted to accommodate any size mug.
The system is made up of specially designed Douwe Egberts pods (called pads by some countries). The pods are filled with a blend of instant coffee as well as finely-ground coffee beans, which are roasted. They are enclosed in an airtight envelope. The pods can be brewed in a very short time, but retain the full aroma and taste of the coffee.
All Senseo machines use the same brewing process that is fast and efficient, but you can choose from three different latte varieties such as cafe latte or cappuccino. You can choose to make each one with or without foamed milk. You can also select between regular, extra-strong, or decaffeinated espresso.
The machine is compact and modern in design. It'll look great on your kitchen counter, and won't make your sub-zero refrigerator or Viking range look bad. It also is very efficient in energy use, taking less than a minute for one or two cups of coffee. It can be programmed to shut off automatically, and its removable parts-including the coffee pad holder, water reservoir and drip tray-are dishwasher safe.
It is also covered by a year limited warranty. It is easy to clean, with a few times of rinsing of the tank that holds water and the spout. The drip tray and coffee pad holders can be rinsed as well and the exterior is easy to clean.
The biggest drawback of the Senseo system is that it only produces one or two eight-ounce cups at a time, so it's not suited for huge families or heavy drinkers. Also, it's not for people who prefer their coffee in a standard mug, since it's not big enough to hold them.
Conclusions
Senseo is a great coffee pod machine for those who wants to save time and effort. It is a simple to use and easy to clean, and it makes a good cup of coffee in a short time. The coffee is delicious and the crema on top is a nice touch. The drawback of this machine is that the pods are expensive but you can find more affordable alternatives. You can also purchase a reusable filter for this machine, which will cut your costs considerably.
After the brewing cycle is completed, the coffee machine will shut itself off automatically. This helps to save energy and money, and also ensures that the machine remains in good working order. It's also a greener option than an espresso machine as it uses less steam and water.
This coffee maker is compatible with Douwe Egberts capsules. These capsules have an airtight foil-based system which produces a rich layer of crema on the top of the coffee. The coffee is made up of a blend of arabica beans and is guaranteed to have a full flavour.
The Senseo machine can make three different types of coffee that use foamed milk: cappuccino, cafe latte and latte macchiato. These are not real cappuccinos since the Senseo system only uses a mild amount of pressure to make coffee. But the coffee is delicious and it will save you time and effort, plus there is no need for an additional milk frother.
