Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to Philips! To fully benet from the support that
Philips offers, register your product at www.philips.com/welcome.
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 avour of manual drip-brewed
coffee, conveniently prepared with a sophisticated coffee maker. Enjoy your Cafe Gourmet!

1 Make sure the cover is on the water tank.
2 Open the lid of the water tank cover and ll the water tank with fresh, cold water (Fig. 2).
- Make sure you ll the water tank to a level between the minimum and maximum indication
marks.
- Always close the hinged lid of the cover after lling the water tank to make sure the
appliance functions properly.
- The graduations on the left are for large cups (120ml).
- The graduations on the right are for small cups (80ml).
3 Open the lter holder support (Fig. 3).
4 Take a paper lter (size 102/1x2) and fold the sealed edges to prevent tearing and
folding (Fig. 4).
5 Put the lter in the lter holder.
6 Put ground coffee (lter-ne grind) in the lter (Fig. 5).
- For large cups: use one heaped measuring spoon of ground coffee for each cup.
- For small cups: use one level measuring spoon of ground coffee for each cup.

11 After you have poured coffee, put the jug with the remaining coffee back onto the hotplate
to keep the coffee hot and to preserve its avour (Fig. 10).
- However, coffee is at its best directly after is has been brewed (Fig. 11).
Tip: When the brewing process is nished, you can pour the hot coffee into a thermos jug to keep it hot
and fresh.

to prevent overowing.
Note: Make sure the jug lid is in place when you put the jug back onto the hotplate. Without the jug lid,
the drip stop function is activated automatically.

down for three minutes. Fill the water tank with cold water again and put a new amount of ground
coffee in a new paper lter. Now you can make fresh coffee again.
Note: If you do not let the appliance cool down for three minutes before you brew coffee again,
water starts dripping into the lter holder right away.
- Make sure you pour the rst amount of fresh water against the temperature sensor in the
centre of the cover (Fig. 16).
When you do this, the outow opening in the bottom of the water tank closes again.


Regular descaling prolongs the life of the appliance and guarantees optimal brewing results for a
long time.
In case of normal use (two brewing cycles a day), descale your coffeemaker:
- Every two months if you use soft or ltered water (up to 18dH);
- Every month if you use hard water (over 18dH).
Contact your local water board for information about the water hardness in your area.
1 Fill the water tank with 0.8 litres of white vinegar (4% acetic acid). Do not put a lter or
ground coffee in the lter holder.
2 Switch on the appliance and let it complete one brewing cycle.
Note: For thorough descaling, repeat step 1 to 2 to make sure no scale is left in the appliance. You can
use the vinegar from the rst cycle.
3 Let the appliance complete two more brewing cycles with fresh, cold water to remove any
vinegar and scale residues.
4 Clean the jug and the lter holder (see chapter ‘Cleaning’).
Note: You can also use an appropriate liquid descaler. In that case, follow the instructions on the package
of the descaler. Do not use a powder descaler or descaling tablets.
