The Philips Café Gourmet coffee maker has a unique brewing technology
that maximizes every part of the brewing process, for hot and full-flavored
coffee.
-
The boil & brew system first boils the water before it flows through the
ground coffee, resulting in hot and full-flavored coffee.
-
Thanks to the brewing temperature of 93° C, precisely the right flavors
and aromas are extracted from the coffee grounds.
-
The aroma twister inside the jug circulates the coffee through the jug for
a consistent aroma, from the first to the last cup.
Enjoy the ritual of brewing perfect filter coffee with your Café Gourmet!

The water tank does not

Descale and clean the coffeemaker. Pay
special attention to the rubber insert in the
outflow opening of the water tank (see

The water flows straight into
the jug when I fill the water
tank.
Make sure to fill the water tank with cold
water, through the opening in the lid.
The appliance switches
off automatically after 30
minutes.
After 30 minutes of brewing your coffee, the

energy saving and safety. This is according

coffee makers in the EU.
Always flush the appliance with fresh water before first use.
The appliance switches off automatically after 30 minutes.

CALC
Regular descaling prolongs the lifetime of the appliance and guarantees
optimal brewing results. Descale the appliance every two months if you use
soft water (up to 13dH) or every month if you use hard water (over 13dH).
When you notice excessive steaming or the brewing time increases, descale
more often. To descale the appliance, we advise you to use white vinegar
(up to max 8% acetic acid), as other products may cause damage to the
appliance. For more information on descaling, please visit www.philips.com/
descale.
