This most up-to-date Philips Senseo HD7860/60 is not truly a Bean to Cup Coffee Machine, but is one of a new cohort of exceedingly user friendly machines that provide fresh coffee at the push of a button from coffee pads. Upon opening the box to look at your new HD7860/60, you are likely to be very impressed by its looks. The sales blurb describes it as being designed for people who prefer cubes to spheres. And it certainly has a very contemporary, smooth design.It comes in either white or black, and measures approximately 25 cm high, 22 cm deep and 17 cm wide.
The first thing that you need to do is to prepare it for first use by flushing the whole system. This is very easy, albeit rather noisy for a couple of minutes. It is very quiet in regular operation.
The most crucial considerations in reviewing the HD7860 are the ease of use and quality of the coffee it brews.
It has two spouts, so you can make either one or two cups at any one time. And has a height adjustable foot for the cups, so different cup / mug sizes can easily be used. The height varies from 97 to 117 mm.In less than a minute, it will have 2 cups ready. In just thirty seconds it will make 1 cup.
The HD7860/60 has a particularly large capacity, holding up to 1.2 litres. This can easily make 8 cups. Each cup is 120ml.
The HD7860 has an automatic shut-off element after 30 minutes, which is very worthwhile.
The coffee pads are a good deal better value than the coffee pods that have been conventionally used in such machines. Although the Senseo ones are about 15p each, you can obtain other ones much cheaper, and being pads there should not normally be a compatibility issue. You'll want to obtain round ones.We have used original and substitute coffee pads and the coffee produced by each has been first-rate.
The attractive appearance of the HD7860 is the most outstanding feature of this coffee maker - combined, perhaps with the marvelous quality of the coffee it makes!. The HD7860 will look especially good in a contemporary kitchen with darker worktops - much better, we consider than the usual, more curvy machines - 29861
