Before first use
1 Clean the SENSEO\ espresso pod holder with
hot water and some washing-up liquid or in the
dishwasher.
Now you are ready to brew SENSEO\ espresso coffee
with your SENSEO\ espresso pod holder.
Using the SENSEO
®
Tip:For the best result, heat-up the machine and your
SENSEO® espresso glass with hot water before you
brew SENSEO\ espresso coffee.
You can do this in two ways:
1 Put your SENSEO\ espresso glass under the coffee
spout and place the SENSEO\ espresso pod holder
in the machine without a pod. Close the lid and press
the 1-cup button.
2 Rinse the glass with hot water from the tap.
Tip:Stir the SENSEO\ espresso coffee before you drink it.
This ensures that your SENSEO\ espresso coffee has the
best temperature and taste.
1 Fill the water reservoir with cold water up to the
MAX indication and put it back onto the machine.
Never pour milk, coffee, hot water or carbonated water
into the water reservoir.
Make sure that you ll the water reservoir at least to
the 2-cup MIN line before you start to brew coffee.
A full reservoir allows you to make coffee a number
-
of times. This makes it unnecessary to ll the water
reservoir each time you want to make a glass of
SENSEO\ espresso coffee.
2 Press the on/off button.
The light in the on/off button ashes when the
,
water heats up.
Heating up takes approx. 90 seconds.
When the light is continuously on, the machine is
ready for use.
3 Open the lid of the machine.
If there is still a pod holder in the machine, remove it.
4 Place the SENSEO\ espresso pod holder in the
machine.
The 1-cup and 2-cup pod holder are
brewing SENSEO\ espresso coffee.
5 Place a SENSEO\ espresso pod properly in the
centre of the SENSEO\ espresso pod holder, with
the convex side pointing downwards.
Make sure the coffee in the pod is evenly distributed and
press the pod lightly into the pod holder.
Only use SENSEO\ espresso coffee pods, as they
have been specially designed to brew SENSEO\
espresso coffee in the SENSEO\ coffee machine
with the special SENSEO\ espresso pod holder.

NOT suitable for
Every SENSEO\ espresso coffee pod contains the
optimal amount of coffee for one glass of SENSEO\
espresso coffee.
Never use torn pods or loose coffee, as this causes the
machine to become blocked.
6 Close and lock the lid.
Make sure the lid is properly locked.
Never brew SENSEO\ espresso with the lid open.
7 Place one glass (or cup) with a capacity of at least
90ml but not more than 110ml under the coffee
spout.
8 Press the 1-cup button.
The SENSEO\ machine starts to brew SENSEO\
,
espresso coffee.
The machine automatically supplies the optimal
,
amount of water for one glass of SENSEO\
espresso coffee.
You can interrupt the SENSEO\ espresso brewing
process at any time by pressing the on/off button.
If you switch the machine back on after you have
interrupted the brewing process, the machine does not
complete the interrupted brewing cycle.
Do not remove the water reservoir during a brewing
cycle, as this causes the machine to draw in air. When
this happens, the machine only partly lls the next glass
(or cup).
9 Remove the SENSEO\ espresso pod holder after
use and throw away the used SENSEO\ espresso
pod.
Be careful when you do this. There may still be some
water or coffee on the SENSEO\ espresso pod or in
the SENSEO\ espresso pod holder.
Cleaning
1 Remove the SENSEO\ espresso pod holder from
the SENSEO\ machine and throw away the used
SENSEO\ espresso pod.
2 Clean the SENSEO\ espresso pod holder in hot
water.
If necessary, use some washing-up liquid or put the pod
holder in the dishwasher.
3 Make sure the sieve in the centre of the SENSEO\
espresso pod holder is not clogged.
If the sieve is clogged, unclog it by rinsing the pod holder
under a running tap. If necessary, use a washing-up brush
to clean the sieve.
4 Rinse the SENSEO\ espresso pod holder with fresh
water after cleaning.
5 Place the SENSEO\ espresso pod holder back into
