Brewing Coffee

3. To brew one cup of Senseo coffee, place the 1-cup pod holder with one coffee pod in the machine. To brew two cups, place the 2-cup pod holder with two coffee pods in the machine.
4. Place the pod(s) properly in the center of the pod holder, with the convex side pointing downwards. Press the pod(s) lightly into the pod holder.
5. Close the lid and lock the lever.
6. Place one cup or two cups under the spout openings.

8. Press the 1-cup button to brew one cup of coffee or press the 2-cup button to brew two cups of coffee.

Direct Start Function: The Direct Start function allows you to switch on your coffee machine and brew coffee with one touch of a button. When you press the 1-cup button or the 2-cup button, this button starts flashing, the machine starts heating up and then starts to brew coffee. When the machine has finished brewing, it switches off automatically to save energy.

Fresh Cold Water: Use fresh cold water every day. If you have not used the machine for 1 day, you have to flush it with fresh cold water before you use it again. To flush the machine, fill the water reservoir with fresh cold water, place 2 cups under the spout and brew coffee without a coffee pod twice in a row.

Cleaning

4. You can clean all detachable parts with hot water and some washing-up liquid or in the dishwasher.

Note: Never use scouring pads, abrasive cleaning agents or aggressive liquids such as petrol or acetone to clean the machine.

Descaling the Senseo

When the 1-cup button and 2-cup button flash simultaneously before and after you have brewed a cup of coffee, you have to descale the machine. The descaling procedure consists of 4 cycles. Follow the steps below to perform the descaling procedure:

Note: Please keep in mind that you always press simultaneously both the 1-cup and 2-cup button while performing the descaling procedure. This is because if you only press one button, the machine switches itself off and you have to redo the entire descaling procedure.
