Philips Cafe Gourmet combines exceptionally aromatic coffee with an
exclusive and eye-catching design. Thanks to the superior ‘Boil & Brew’ principle,
the coffee is brewed under ideal conditions. This principle is derived from
the classic coffee-brewing method of pouring a substantial quantity of water
just off the boil onto fresh ground coffee. The striking design allows you to
follow this process from beginning to end. The result is steaming hot coffee
with the full flavour of manual drip-brewed coffee, conveniently prepared
with a sophisticated coffee maker. Enjoy your Cafe Gourmet!

CALC
Regular descaling prolongs the lifetime of the appliance and guarantees
optimal brewing results. Descale the appliance every two months if you
use soft water (up to 13dH) or every month if you use hard water
(over 13dH). When you notice excessive steaming or the brewing time
increases, descale more often. To descale the appliance, we advise you to
use white vinegar (up to max 8% acetic acid), as other products may cause
damage to the appliance.
