Brewing black coffee, cappuccino, latte macchiato or caffè latte
Coffee varieties with milk
Each coffee variety with milk has its own distinctive brewing process:
-Cappuccino is a rich combination of one-third coffee and two-thirds
fresh, hot milk with a creamy froth layer. When you brew a cappuccino,
your cup is rst lled with hot milk froth and then the strong black
coffee is brewed onto the froth. This causes the coffee to sink below
the froth layer.
-Latte macchiato is a 3-layer drink. It contains more milk than coffee.
When you brew a latte macchiato, the machine rst lls your cup with
milk and milk froth and then stops for 15 seconds. During this time the
milk sinks below the froth. Then the machine brews black coffee, which
also sinks below the froth and settles above the milk layer.
-Caffè latte is a drink that contains milk and coffee in more or less
equal amounts. When you brew a caffè latte, your cup is rst lled with
coffee and then hot milk and a crema layer are added.
Brewing black coffee or a coffee variety with milk
To brew a delicious black coffee, cappuccino, latte macchiato or caffè latte,
follow the steps below.
ENGLISH14
1 Place 1 SENSEO® coffee pad in the 1-cup pod holder.
If you want to brew black coffee, you can also make two cups. To brew 2
cups of black coffee, place 2 SENSEO
qq.
Note: You cannot make two cups of cappuccino, latte macchiato or caffè latte
at the same time.
Note: If you want to brew two cups of cappuccino, you have to brew one cup
at a time using the 1-cup button q.

Descaling
Note: This machine is intended for household use only. It is not intended for
professional use.
ENGLISH21
When to descale
Note: Descale the machine when the Calc-Clean indicator goes on.
Why to descale
Scale builds up inside the appliance during use. It is essential to descale the
SENSEO
If the descaling procedure is not performed correctly, scale residue remains
behind in the machine. This causes scale to build up more quickly and may
cause permanent and irreparable damage to the machine.
Use the correct descaling agent
Only citric acid-based descalers are suitable for descaling the SENSEO
machine. This type of descaler descales the appliance without damaging
it. For the correct amount, see under ‘Descaling procedure’ below. Each
descaling mixture can be used only once. After use, the descaling mixture is
no longer active.
Never use a descaling agent based on mineral acids such as sulphuric
acid, hydrochloric acid, sulphamic acid and acetic acid (e.g. vinegar). These
descaling agents will certainly damage your SENSEO
Descaling procedure

1. The sieve/hole in the centre of the pod holder may be clogged. Try to
unclog the sieve/hole by holding the pod holder under a running tap. If
necessary, you can use a washing-up brush to unclog the sieve or a pin to
unclog the hole. To avoid this problem, never put ground coffee (lter-ne
grind) in the pod holder of the SENSEO
tearing by placing them in the pod holder with the convex side pointing
downwards.
2. The inside of the SENSEO
Descale the machine by following the instructions in chapter ‘Descaling’ of the
user manual. Use a descaler based on citric acid. Do not use white vinegar
to descale the machine. You can also buy a descaler specially developed by
Philips for the SENSEO
pack that contains 3 sachets and sells at the price of €4.99.
3. You may have selected a smaller amount of black coffee. Check the volume
selection on the control panel on top of the machine. By pressing the volume
select button you can select a small (80ml), medium (125ml) or large (145ml)
amount of black coffee.
1. Perhaps you have not lled the milk container up to the required level.
Make sure you ll the milk container up to the level of the selected coffee
variety. Icons on the milk container indicate the required level for the different
coffee varieties with milk.
2. The milk container unit may be dirty. Clean the milk container unit by
following the instructions in chapter ‘Cleaning’, section ‘Cleaning after the last
use of the day’.
3. The coffee varieties with milk require different cup sizes. Latte macchiato
requires a cup volume of 260ml. For caffè latte, the required cup volume is
220ml and for cappuccino the required cup volume is 180ml. You can try
another coffee variety with milk if you want more or less coffee.The varieties
also have different tastes and different ratios of coffee to milk, so try them all
to nd out what you like best.
1. Some dripping is normal, so there is no need to worry. The drip tray will
catch the drops, and you can easily remove the drip tray and the drip tray
cover for cleaning.
2. If the SENSEO
and a half after the brewing cycle, the machine needs to be examined to
determine the cause of the problem and the best solution. We advise you to
take the machine to your dealer or a Philips service centre.
1. One outow opening of the coffee spout may be clogged. Clean the
coffee spout and the coffee spout cover with a washing-up brush and some
washing-up liquid. You can also put the coffee spout and the coffee spout
cover in the dishwasher. For details on cleaning the coffee spout, see chapter

The SENSEO® machine needs to be examined to determine the cause of the
problem and the best solution. We advise you to take the SENSEO
to your dealer or a Philips service centre.
1. You may not have placed the coffee pod properly in the pod holder. When
the coffee pods are not placed properly in the centre of the pod holder,
water may escape along the edges of the pods. The coffee pod needs to be
placed properly in the centre of the pod holder with the convex side pointing
downwards. When you use two pods on top of each other, make sure the
convex sides of both pods point downwards and press the pods lightly
into the 2-cup pod holder. Also make sure the coffee in the pod or pods is
distributed evenly.
2. The coffee spout may be clogged. Remove the coffee spout cover and
take the coffee spout out of the machine. Clean the coffee spout and the
coffee spout with a washing-up brush and some washing-up liquid or in the
dishwasher.
3. The water reservoir is damaged/broken. The water reservoir needs to be
replaced. Go to your dealer or a Philips service centre to obtain a new water
reservoir.
4. It is normal that some water drips from the bottom of the water reservoir
when you remove it from the machine or place it in the machine.
5. The sealing ring may be stuck under the edge of the water distribution
disc in the lid of the machine. Carefully pull the part of the sealing ring that is
stuck out from under the distribution disc.
6. Perhaps you lled the water reservoir beyond the MAX indication. When
you put too much water in the water reservoir, the water may spill over
the edge when you place the water reservoir back in the machine. Pour
out some water so that the water reservoir contains not more than the
maximum quantity indicated.

1. When the indicator light ashes and the light rings round the 1-cup and 2-
cup buttons are off, there is not enough water in the water reservoir to brew
a cup of coffee. To brew one cup of coffee, the water in the water reservoir
must be above the 1-cup MIN level. To brew two cups of coffee, the water in
the water reservoir must be above the 2-cup MIN level. If the water is above
the 1-cup MIN level but below the 2-cup MIN level, the light ring round the
2-cup button is off. In this case you can still brew one cup of coffee before
the indicator light starts to ash and the light ring round the 1-cup button
goes out
2. You selected a coffee variety with milk (cappuccino, caffè latte, latte

2. You may have forgotten to ll the milk reservoir before brewing a coffee
variety with milk. Fill the milk container up to the required level for the coffee
variety.
3. You pressed the Clean/Calc-Clean button to ush the milk container unit.
Full steam power is required for a thorough ushing of the milk container
unit. That is why, during the ushing process, more steam can escape than
during normal use.
4. You may have lled the milk reservoir with warm water for ushing. Fill the
milk reservoir with cold water.
5. The milk tube is not connected to the milk reservoir lid. Connect the milk
tube to the milk reservoir lid.
The lid cannot be

some force to open the lid. When the lid opens, check if the sieve/hole in the
centre of the pod holder is clogged. Unclog the sieve/hole by holding the pod
holder under a running tap. If necessary, you can use a washing-up brush to
unclog the sieve or a pin to unclog the hole. To avoid this problem, never put
ground coffee (lter-ne grind) in the pod holder. Prevent pods from tearing
by placing them in the pod holder with the convex side pointing downwards.
Check if the coffee in the pod is evenly distributed when you place the pod
in the pod holder and press the pods lightly into the pod holder. If you cannot
open the lid or if the problem continues to occur, take the machine to your
dealer or to a Philips service centre.

You have to ush the machine before you use the machine to brew coffee.
Follow the steps below to ush the machine (see also chapter ‘Before rst
use’ in the user manual). • Fill the water reservoir up to the MAX indication.
• Make sure the milk container is placed. • Open the lid. • Place the 1-cup
pod holder or 2-cup pod holder without pod(s) in the machine • Close the
lid and lock the lever. • Put the plug in an earthed wall socket • Put a bowl
(with a capacity of at least 1500ml) under the coffee spout to collect the
water • Press the on/off button and subsequently press the 1-cup button and
the 2-cup button briey at the same time • The boiler lls itself with water
from the water reservoir. This takes some time (approx. 90 to 150 seconds).
The machine switches off automatically when the ushing cycle ends. During
the ushing cycle, the machine produces more noise than during a regular

Steam pressure is required for a perfect cup of coffee with frothed milk. It is
therefore normal that you hear a hissing sound. The machine is louder during
ushing because more steam pressure is necessary to ush the milk container
unit than is required to froth the milk.
1.The milk container unit may be dirty. Clean the milk container unit by
following the instructions in chapter ‘Cleaning’, section ‘Cleaning after the last
use of the day’.
2.You may have used milk that is not cold enough. Make sure you use cold
milk straight from the refrigerator (5-8 degrees).
3. You may have used rice or soy milk. This kind of milk does not produce a
good quality milk froth. Use other milk for a perfect cup of coffee with milk
froth.
To clean the milk container lid, press the milk container lid release lever
and remove the milk container lid from the milk container. Open the milk
container lid cover by pulling and slightly turning the knob and remove the
milk tube. For more thorough cleaning you can also remove the steam inlet.
For cleaning instructions, see chapter ‘Cleaning’, section ‘Cleaning after the last
use of the day’.
You use this button to ush the milk container unit with fresh cold water
immediately after use. You also use this button to descale the machine when
the Calc-Clean indicator comes on.
1. You wanted to brew two cups of black coffee and the light ring round the
2-cup button is off because there is not enough water in the water reservoir
for 2 cups of black coffee. Fill the water reservoir.
2. If you selected a coffee variety with milk, you can only brew 1 cup at the
time. That’s why the light ring round the 2-cup button is off and only the light
ring round the 1-cup button is on.
When you have brewed a coffee variety with milk, the Clean indicator starts
to ash to remind you to ush the milk container unit (see chapter ‘Cleaning’).
The Calc-Clean indicator goes on when you need to descale the machine.
This happens after 1000 cups of SENSEO
cappuccino, latte macchiato or caffè latte have been brewed. To descale your
SENSEO
Calc-Clean indicator ashes rapidly, the descaling program is nished.
1. If you want to ush the milk container unit, make sure the milk container is
placed and lled with cold water.
2. If you want to descale the machine, make sure the Calc-Clean tool is
placed correctly. See chapter ‘Descaling’ in the user manual for more details.
