Using more than 250 years of coffee expertise Douwe Egberts has roasted
and ground specially selected coffee beans that, when prepared using a
special brewing method co-developed with Philips, ensure a full, smooth
taste and delicious foam layer.This joint creation, known as the SENSEO\
coffee pod system, consists of the Philips SENSEO\coffee machine and
specially developed Douwe Egberts SENSEO\coffee pods. Only when
used together will you be rewarded with a sensational cup of SENSEO\
coffee with the delicious SENSEO\foam layer.
To ensure a smooth and full coffee taste, you should keep the following
things in mind:
