The system uses specially designed Douwe Egberts pods (called pads in certain countries). The pods are filled with a blend of instant coffee and finely-ground and roasted beans. They are then sealed in an airtight container. This allows the pods to brew in a very short time, preserving the full taste and aroma of the coffee, while allowing you to enjoy the rich crema coffee layer on top.

You can make each latte with or without foamed milk. You can also select between regular, extra-strong, or decaffeinated espresso.

This coffee machine is compatible with Douwe Egberts capsules. These capsules contain an airtight foil-based system which produces a thick layer crema on top of the coffee. The coffee is made of arabica beans and is guaranteed to be full of flavor.
The Senseo machine can make three kinds of coffee that use foamed milk: cappuccino, cafe latte and latte macchiato. These coffees are not true cappuccinos, however, as the Senseo system only employs gentle pressure to brew the coffee and doesn't produce genuine espresso. Nevertheless the coffee is delicious and will help you save time and effort, and there is no need for a separate milk frother.
