Let's twist again

*** Packing
I may Philips not only because of the quality, the product design but also because of the always matching, modern packaging design. The Senseo Twist Kaffeepadmaschine is decorated in white with lime accents. Fits also the packaging is designed. Visually already very appealing, the color of the packaging leaves an already guess how the Senseo Twist will work itself. First impression is sitting!

*** Optics
The Senseo Twist is almost completely white, with lime-colored and black accents on the drip tray and the cover. The design is very modern, a little almost futuristic. Maybe that acts on me because of the lower broader base that creates a slight touch UFO?
On the broader black / lime-colored pedestal one finds the same all the necessary controls on the touch panel. The LEDs light up when operating on and off to red as soon as the Senseo Twist off or to shut itself off. For me, definitely a little eye-catcher in the kitchen.

*** Service
On the base / cover, there is a touch panel, which is activated when touched and all controls to light up red. The symbols actually explain by itself. So you can choose between two different cup sizes / coffee strengths (small, strong espresso or regular coffee mild) and the Mug Volume (1 or 2 cups) choose. Of course you can also place two cups and a cup under it, so you have twice the amount the same, should not satisfy a cup. You can switch off the Senseo Twist on the on / off switch, you should have forgotten that goes off by itself.

*** Experience
Visually, I find the Senseo Twist very appealing. She just looks modern and stylish and is an eye-catcher in every kitchen. To select also available for each different variations such as white / lime, white / fuchsia or black / misty dawn, so that for each color something should be there.
The Senseo Twist is easy with the help of the 80cm cable and plug is after the water has been filled into the tank and immediately ready for use.

Once you touch the touch panel, the Senseo Twist activated immediately and boils the water in the tank ever warm. Time enough to put a coffee pod in the pod holder. Simply this, the cover flap open up, remove the pad holder - to choose from is a flatter and lower pod holder for one or two pads. Also affecting the coffee strength - and insert a pod. Senseo offers here specially delicious coffees on. From classic coffee to extra strong over cappuccino or cocoa, and more. Some varieties you have to pay attention only to the fact that they must be placed in the lower pod holder, otherwise the cover is not approaching.
After selecting the coffee you can then already put the cup under the coffee spout. The height-adjustable coffee spout allows to place any cup underneath.
If you make a mistake and have not asked the cup under the coffee spout, so that the coffee passes the cup that's not a problem. Under the coffee spout is directly a drip tray, which does not prevent such mishaps, but over spilled coffee fields and prevents a mess on the table. The important thing is that one should remember also from time to cleanse these. I had a few weeks / months not thought until at some point I had the idea to catch this and have found that in the drip tray, which is covered by the cover, mold has formed.

If you have made a choice, you should be the first setting for the cup size, so a cup or choose two because once you decide on the coffee strength / size starts the Senseo Twist and its brewing process. Within a short time then already filled the cup. After brewing you should not forget to remove the old pod and discard.
The taste I find the coffee from the coffee pad machine very tasty, especially the Cappuccino variety has it done to me! But regular coffee is delicious. There is a very wide range of coffee blends available, so that for each actually what should be there. A delicious crema I had hitherto never miss.

You should just be careful the Senseo Twist to descale regularly once it has so far is this but already give you a sign and there are LED's light up with "CALC". By then you should this descaling. How this works is explained in detail in the user manual.
Also, one should from time to time the pad holder descale separately because otherwise the coffee can taste metallic.

***** Conclusion

All in one, we are enthusiastic about our Senseo Twist Coffee pad rails. They look good, are an optical highlight in the kitchen and produce in a short time without much effort delicious coffee.
