The Senseo coffee machine, which combined a patented brewing system from Philips with high-quality coffee pods from Sara Lees Douwe Egberts, one of Europes premiere coffee brands, was the worlds first-ever, single-serve, low-pressure filter coffee system offering a frothy coffee layer when it was launched in Europe in 2001. More than 10 years in development and market research, the patented Senseo coffee-brewing system automatically uses the right amount of water and ensures that the water passes through the Senseo coffee pods quickly and evenly, maximizing the flavor from the coffee bean. The brewing process guarantees a perfect cup of fresh coffee within a minute every time. Available in three colors: blue, black, and white.
