thanks to the extensive information about this article, I decided to give a second life to my Senseo. Previously, the water was always heated back into the water tank, but not through the pad. The amount of coffee was always low. Now she lives again five years ;-) There are at Youtube extensive instructions on opening the Senseo, so I dare to correct this error alone. With a little skill and no problem .... a Senseo less for the recycling center.
