Problem

Solution

The SENSEO

\

 

coffee machine 

brews only a 

small quantity 

of coffee or 

no coffee at all 

when it is used 

for the first 

time.

You have not flushed the machine 

properly before first use. As a result, 

the boiler is not or not completely 

filled. Flush the machine properly 

(see chapter ‘Preparing the machine 

for use’) before you brew another 

cup of coffee.

The lid cannot 

be closed 

properly.

Perhaps a used coffee pod is sticking 

to the water distribution disc. If this 

is the case, remove the used pod.

The machine 

has been stored 

in a room that 

was not frost-

free.

Contact the Philips Customer Care 

Centre in your country.

The SENSEO

\

  

coffee is not 

strong enough.

Make sure that:

you have used the correct number 

of pods and have pressed the right 

button. Use 1 pod in combination 

with the 1-cup pod holder 

°

 and 

the 1-cup button  

°

. Use 2 pods 

in combination with the 2-cup pod 

holder 

°°

 and the 2-cup button  

°°

;

you have placed the coffee 

pod(s) properly in the centre of 

the pod holder, to prevent water 

from escaping along the edge of the 

pod(s). When you use two coffee 

pods on top of each other, make 

sure that the convex sides of both 

pods point downwards and press 

the pods lightly into the pod holder;

you have not used the same pod 

twice by accident;

the coffee in the pod is evenly 

distributed;

If you prefer a more robust flavour, 

SENSEO

\

 coffee pods with a 

stronger blend are available.

The SENSEO

\

 

coffee is too 

strong.

If you prefer a milder flavour, 

SENSEO

\

 coffee pods with a milder 

blend are available.

The coffee is 

not hot enough.

Do not use cups that are too large, 

as they cause the coffee to get cold 

more quickly. When you use cups, 

make sure they have a capacity of 

150ml. When you use a mug, make 

sure it has a capacity of 280ml.
