Product Description
The philips senseo coffee pod machine is a fantastic method to enjoy an instant cup of freshly made coffee. It's simple to use. Just turn 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 is ready in under a minute, and it tastes great. It has a spout that is adjustable that can fit any size mug. It's very lightweight and easy to clean. The reservoir holds approximately 3 mugs. It will notify you when it needs refilling, by flashing very rapidly.
The machine is made from premium materials and comes with a an extended warranty of one year. The removable parts, including the reservoir, pod holder, coffee spout and drip tray, are all dishwasher safe. The coffee pods that are reusable are available in a variety of different flavors. There are even eco-pods available which are less expensive than regular ones.
Douwe Egberts has designed Senseo pods that give a smooth taste of coffee and delicious foam layer. They are made of carefully selected coffee beans that have been ground and roasted to create the various flavors. There are many different blends, flavours and strengths available. The latest varieties include Intensity Select, a revolutionary technology which allows you to select the strength of your coffee.
Coffee Boost technology increases the number of aroma nozzles on coffee pods to 45 which enhances the flavor of the coffee. There's also Cream Plus technology which guarantees the tiniest and smoothest layer of coffee.
There are a few disadvantages to this system. It's not the best choice for large families or voluminous coffee drinkers except if you're willing to spend five times the amount on your coffee. Second, it's not an espresso maker - it uses a mild pressure to brew coffee, but doesn't create the thick froth called crema that you find with an espresso.
The spout is so small, it's difficult to pour coffee into the regular cup. If you are willing to take the risk it's a great coffee maker. It's easy to use, and makes the perfect cup of coffee each time.
Features
This is a wonderful little machine, very easy to use and a quick coffee maker. 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 will do the rest. It can make a decent cup of coffee in around 30 seconds. The spout can be adjusted to fit any mug size.
The system uses specially-designed Douwe Egberts pods (called pads in some countries). The pods are filled with a mixture of instant coffee as well as finely-ground coffee beans, which are roasted. They are then sealed in an airtight container. This lets the pods brew in a short amount of time, preserving the complete taste and aroma of the coffee while still allowing you to enjoy the rich crema coffee layer on top.
All Senseo machines share the same brewing process that is fast and efficient, but there are three distinct variations based on the kind of latte you want to make: cappuccino, cafe latte, as well as latte macchiato. Each variant can be made with foam or without milk, and there's the choice of regular, extra strong, or decaffeinated coffee.
The machine is compact and modern in design. It is a great fit on the kitchen counter and won't be a hindrance to an appliance like a Sub-Zero refrigerator or Viking range. It's also very energy efficient and takes less than a second to prepare just two or one cup. It is programmed to shut off automatically and its parts that are removable, including the coffee pad holder, water reservoir and drip tray-are dishwasher-safe.
It comes with a one-year limited warranty. It is easy to clean, needing only a few rinses of the tank and the spout. The drip tray and coffee pad holders are also able to be rinsed and the exterior is easily wipeable.
The biggest drawback of the senseo single serve system is that it only produces one or two eight-ounce cups at a time. Therefore, it's not ideal for huge families or heavy drinkers. It's not for people who prefer their coffee in a regular mug because it's not compatible.
Conclusions
Senseo is a great coffee pod machine for anyone seeking to cut down on time and effort. It is simple to use and clean and can make a great cup of coffee quickly. The coffee is delicious and the crema at the top is a nice feature. The only drawback to this machine is the cost of the pods. However, you can find cheaper alternatives. You can also buy an eco-friendly filter for this machine.
Once the brewing process is complete the coffee machine will automatically shut off. This saves energy and money and also ensures that the machine is in good working order. It is also a greener option than an espresso machine because it requires less water and steam.
This machine works with Douwe Egberts capsules. The capsules are made of an airtight foil-based system that produces a rich layer of crema on the top of the coffee. The coffee is a blend of Arabica beans, which is guaranteed to be full-flavored.
The Senseo machine can produce three different variants of coffee with foam milk; cappuccino, cafe latte and macchiato latte. These are not real cappuccinos as the Senseo system only uses a mild amount of pressure to make coffee. The coffee is still delicious, and you will save time and effort. You will also not require a separate milk frother.
