(3) Moccona SENSEO® and BAILEYS® Irish cream Coffee —  Great for a dinner party or a self indulgent treat.Add a dash of BAILEYS® Irish Cream into your SENSEO® cup first and then freshly brew your Moccona SENSEO® coffee as per normal using the blend of your choice.  No need to add milk or sugar, and the flavours blend together beautifully.

(4) Milk Lovers!If you enjoy milk in your coffee, try adding the milk to the cup before making your cup of Moccona SENSEO®  coffee and finish with a small stir at the end.  This little trick, leaves the creamy coffee crèma layer intact, capturing the aromas and flavours in the coffee and reduces the cooling effect of cold milk straight from the fridge

(5) Café Tricks for a Hot Cup — Always wondered why your cup is nearly too hot to touch in a café?  The Secret is simple.  Your cup was pre-heated with hot water first, before preparing your cup of coffee.   Fresh ground coffee as used in cafes and in Moccona SENSEO®  coffee pods, shouldn’t be brewed at too high a temperature as it can create a “burnt coffee taste”.  So if you want your cup of coffee to stay hotter longer, try this quick little “Café trick”.

(6) The EXTRA BIG Cup — Feel the need for an extra large cup of  Moccona SENSEO®  coffee.Place 2 pods in the “2 pod holder”, (ensuring the pods line up in the centre and do not touch the brewing pressure seal), take a mug of approx 280ml and if you take milk add a dash first into the empty mug.  Place the mug under  the spout, close the lid and press the “2 cup button”Enjoy!

(7) Keeping It Fresh — Fresher coffee means  more flavour!Moccona SENSEO® coffee pods are filled with ground coffee beans.  It is important to keep the coffee fresh to maximise the coffee flavour, keeping it away from air and moisture.  Always reseal your Moccona SENSEO® coffee packet, and/or store in an air tight container, in a dark dry cupboard.  Never place coffee in the fridge or freezer.

(8) A Touch of ChocolateTo add a touch of professionalism to your next Moccona SENSEO® coffee, try sprinkling drinking chocolate powder on top. Your family and friends are sure to be impressed by your creative flare and newly found expertise in coffee making.

(9) Make mine a Mocha — If you’re not sweet enough?Capture the taste of a Mocha.  Add either drinking chocolate powder dissolved in hot water or drinking chocolate curls into your  SENSEO® cup first and then make your cup of Moccona SENSEO® coffee as per normal. Mmmm…. Coffee and Chocolate make a great combination.  Finish off with a dusting of chocolate powder on top.

(10) Too Much WaterAlways be attentive when filling the water tank/reservoir on your Philips  SENSEO® coffee pod machine. It is essential that you do not fill your tank/reservoir beyond the recommended ‘four cup maximum’ indicator. You will find the water tank/reservoir is positioned on a diagonal and therefore if overfilled, there is the possibility of water overflowing into other functions within the Philips  SENSEO® coffee pod machine.
