Frequently Asked Questions - SAECO POEMIA PHILIPS

What to do if the machine does not turn on?
Check that the machine is properly plugged into an electrical outlet and that the ON/OFF button (11) has been pressed. If nothing happens, contact an authorized service center.
Why is the pump making an abnormal noise?
A loud pump noise usually indicates a lack of water in the tank. Fill it with fresh water and re-prime the circuit as shown in section 4.5 of the manual.
How to descale the Saeco Poemia machine?
Use only Saeco descaling product. Follow the descaling cycle detailed in chapter 11: pour half of the descaling solution into the tank, top up with water, dispense through the steam wand, let it act, then rinse with several tanks of fresh water.
The coffee flows too quickly and without crema, what to do?
This may be due to insufficient coffee dose, too coarse grind, or stale coffee. Add more ground coffee (1 to 1.5 scoops per cup) or change the coffee type or pod.
How to prepare a cappuccino with this machine?
Heat cold milk by immersing the steam wand (Pannarello) in the milk and opening the steam knob (3) for a maximum of 60 seconds. Use whole milk for better foam.
Why is the coffee not flowing or only dripping?
Possible causes are: empty water tank, too fine grind, tamped coffee, excessive dose, steam wand open, scale, or clogged filter. Check these points and clean the filter holder.
How to clean the steam wand?
After each use of steam, wipe the wand with a damp cloth. Once a week, disassemble the Pannarello (outer and inner parts) and wash them with fresh water.
Does the machine turn off automatically?
Yes, the machine has an energy-saving function: it automatically turns off after 9 minutes of inactivity. To turn it back on, press the ON/OFF button (11) and wait for the 'Machine ready' LED to light up.
What types of coffee can I use?
You can use ground coffee (measuring scoop provided) or standard ESE coffee pods. For ground coffee, use the ground coffee filter (14); for pods, use the pod adapter (15) and the pod filter (16).
What to do if coffee leaks from the edges of the filter holder?
This may be due to a poorly inserted filter holder, a dirty rim, a mispositioned pod, or an excessive dose. Reinsert the filter holder correctly, clean its rim, and adjust the coffee amount.

Can a non-pressurized portafilter be used with a tamper on the PHILIPS SAECO POEMIA coffee machine, and is the pump powerful enough for that?
Frequently Asked Questions - 03/12/2025
Response Notice-Facile

Yes, you can use a non-pressurized portafilter with a tamper on your PHILIPS SAECO POEMIA coffee machine. The built-in pump is designed to provide a pressure of 15 bars, which is sufficient for proper extraction even with a non-pressurized portafilter.

However, this type of portafilter requires more skill than the original pressurized portafilter provided with your machine. Unlike the pressurized model that automatically compensates for variations, the non-pressurized portafilter requires a finer grind and precise tamping to achieve a good extraction.

To properly use a non-pressurized portafilter on your POEMIA:

  • Grind the coffee to a fine grind, specifically suited for non-pressurized portafilters.
  • Use a tamper to tamp the ground coffee evenly, applying a consistent pressure of about 15 to 20 kg.
  • Insert the compatible SAECO portafilter (54 mm diameter) into the brew group by turning it from left to right until it locks, just like with the original pressurized portafilter.
  • Start the extraction by setting the selection button to the desired position.

The quality of the extraction will mainly depend on three factors: the fineness of the grind, the pressure and uniformity of tamping with the tamper, and the freshness of the coffee used. You may need to adjust the grind and your tamping technique to find the best balance according to your taste preferences.

Can the pump pressure be adjusted on the PHILIPS SAECO POEMIA coffee machine?
Frequently Asked Questions - 03/12/2025
Response Notice-Facile

No, the pump pressure on the PHILIPS SAECO POEMIA cannot be adjusted manually. The manufacturer has set a fixed pressure of 15 bars, optimized at the factory to ensure proper coffee extraction. This pressure cannot be modified by the user.

However, you can indirectly control the coffee distribution speed and the quality of the extract by adjusting two parameters:

  • The coffee dose in the filter: A larger dose will slow down the flow and enhance extraction, while a smaller dose will speed up the flow. Slightly vary the amount of ground coffee to adjust the speed according to your preferences.
  • The grind size: Finer ground coffee will slow down the passage of water (useful if the coffee flows too quickly and does not form enough crema), while a coarser blend will speed up the flow (if the coffee drips). Test different Saeco blends.

If you notice persistent flow anomalies, check the condition of the machine:

  • Limescale: Descaling is necessary every 1 to 2 months of use or as soon as the amount of dispensed water decreases. Use a Saeco descaling product.
  • Clogged filter: The filter in the portafilter must remain clean. Rinse it regularly with fresh drinking water after each use.
  • Brewing group: Ensure that the portafilter is properly inserted into the group and that its upper edge is clean to avoid leaks.
  • Water reservoir: Check that it is filled and correctly positioned to allow good water flow to the pump.

The SAECO POEMIA uses a fixed pressure architecture (pressurized portafilter system), which does not allow for manual adjustment but ensures consistent and reliable results for preparing espresso, cappuccino, and other beverages.

6 TIPS FOR CHOOSING COFFEE

As a general rule, any type of coffee available on the market can be used. However, coffee is a natural product and its flavour changes according to its origin and blend; it is therefore a good idea to try different types of coffee in order to find the most suited to your personal taste.

For optimal results, we recommend using espresso machine blends. As a rule, coffee should always come out of the pressurized filter holder, without dripping.

The coffee brewing speed can be modified by slightly changing the amount of coffee in the filter and/or using a different coffee grind.

Saeco recommends using ESE single-dose coffee pods for a tasty coffee and easier cleaning and preparation.
