SENSEO ORIGINAL - The standard under the pad coffee machines

Philips Senseo HD7817 / 19 Original Kaffeepadmaschine, 1450 W, 1 or 2 cups, white (household goods)

Customer Review

Philips Senseo coffee pod machines can be regarded as the standard of pad machines. Build quality, optics as haptics are shipshape, which does not mean that some changes in the "original" would not have made sense.

The technical data as follows:

-1 Or 2 cups at your fingertips
-Heißere First cup (Compared to its predecessor HD7810)
Indication of empty water tank
0.7 L water tank for 5 cups
-Auto Power off after 30 min.
-spülmaschinenfeste parts
-Brühzeit For 1 cup: 30 sec.
-Brühzeit For 2 cups: Performance: 1450 W

The big advantage of a pod machine is that the coffee sits in a paper filter. So falls at not quite so much garbage, as the Pad-competition, the capsule machines. Only Melitta offers with the series still MyCup a similar solution to which could not gain a foothold in the market.

I'm surprised also that the EU, the capsule machine does not prohibit in whole or in a directive with regard to introducing the capsule material by law, the only biodegradable materials requested. In times of micro-plastic in cosmetics and pollution of nature and the environment, which is no longer appropriate. Anyway, I would a pad machine always a capsule machine, if only in terms of that prefer. However disturbing remains partially the outer packaging of each pad when you buy 100 packs. Here is also another, more environmentally friendly solution would have to be created in order to become master of the waste disposal.

The coffee enjoyment with a Philips Senseo could be described as satisfying taste experience. No more and no less. The coffee is not quite as hot as a coffee machine or a fully automatic. It is indeed quite fast, that was it but also already. The pads very quickly lose aroma, good for Philips can not. I personally grind me my coffee with an old mill prefer itself, only buy whole beans and drink the coffee prefers hot with a little more milk than usual.

My idea of ​​a good coffee, the Senseo therefore meet certain conditions, because I am a very demanding coffee drinkers. The functionality and handling a Senseo is just as useful. The pads can be insert without problems or be removed again. Provided it is taken from after the brewing process and can not be overnight it. Then she paperboard common ground and they then gets barely out.

The machine can be cleaned very well, as all parts can be seen and easily accessible. The water tank is unlike machines from other manufacturers arched at a Senseo, which is probably due to the Italian style. But this he does not 100% and is, unfortunately, a little on wobbly. In addition, the gaps are not the ultimate. It is gratifying that the plastic does not smell or even taste the coffee to plastic!

The unit itself would please me better if there would be more time with the heating of the water. If one pours a splash too much milk, he is lukewarm because the Senseo coffee just is not so hot brews, like a machine of conventional design. Who already drinking coffee pure, is the difference hardly notice.

I personally find the Senseo machine as a whole rickety, although the plastic relatively robust and the total machine has a robust plastic quality. Moving with the times underneath unfortunately the knobs off and when they will be lost, the machine is totally wobbly. Anyway, that was the predecessor that.

Unfortunately, the Senseo machines are now completely full plastic, although they are getting more expensive. My first Senseo had once yet tasted any 50 Euro and was no different than the current model, with the exception of the grid, which was previously even pure metal. With me no Senseo has held for more than 1 year, so you should be sure to order an additional water filter equal to and keep the invoice. For all Senseos have a lime problem, so you have to descale regularly!

Toll I think that finally a Probierpackung coffee is enclosed and now also different colors are offered. At the eternal black one has also seen enough sometime. Who rarely drinks coffee, for a pad machine ideal as a huge range of varieties in every discounter is available.

In addition, all NoName pad brands fit in in the Senseo, which is not the case with the capsule machine and you also have to buy the respective coffee to each brand. Aldi capsules only fit in Aldi and Tchibo capsules machines only in Tchibo machine. In contrast, Philips Senseo all fit in. However, I personally Favorite still coffee from the fully automatic or standard filter coffee, how to grandma's day. The only Senseo variety that I really can drink good, Melitta Peru, which are found only very rarely in the supermarket. All other varieties taste me so-so. Pads simply taste differently than the same beans freshly ground from the coffee machine or fully automatic. There are also a solution of this problem for Melitta by filling the pads with coffee itself. But that's too fiddly and time-consuming.

Which machine is best suited for the particular purpose, everyone must decide for themselves. Ideal I find a Senseo workplace. So everyone can bring his own brand and in between a cup of coffee. As such, the machine is good and does what it should. The pads are not really my thing, produce a lot of garbage and cost significantly more than regular coffee. In addition, the area offers under the spout simply too little space, so that large cups are passe.

The Senseo is and remains the standard Kaffeepadmaschine, making it the old and new No.1. No more and no less. Improvements to its predecessor, none. The changes you have to look in detail. The minimum temperature difference in the first cup, which it is to give the new model, which I really do not notice in your mouth now. This is likely to be detected only with an officially calibrated temperature measuring device.

Philips remains the same design, without any beneficial change. You could build the machine a little higher, so that more water would fit into the tank and larger cups or glasses underneath. So you have to constantly buy new cups and top up, if you do not have small cups available. Since eh hardly any water enters the tank, it really requires no level indication. In addition, the price of the new machine with 89 euros is still very ambitious, I think. However, as this is the launch price, one can start from a subsequent price reduction on the previous level, so I do not abwerte the machine.

Senseo machines that make a great crema, I think this is a rumor. A proper crema has probably in the capsule machines, as these build up more pressure or stop in fully automatic. A filter coffee machine can make no crema. Since Philips therefore does not advertise, I value not from well due to the lack or barely existing Crema, with corresponding pads.

Useful addition to the Senseo:

Philips CA6500 / 60 Senseo Milk frother Twister (non-stick coating, touch controls)

WMF 0617817530 Filter carafe Dara blue

Overall, the Senseo is a solid pad machine when you decalcified regularly or directly using a water filter. The Senseo is the new and old No. 1 under the pad machines and produces less waste than capsule machines. In addition, the use of filter paper as support material for the coffee is certainly healthier than plastic.
