Frequently Asked Questions - SENSEO TWIST BY KENZO TAKADA HD7870/91 PHILIPS

Which pods are compatible with the SENSEO TWIST HD7870/91?
The SENSEO TWIST is designed for 44 mm soft ESE pods, including the entire Senseo range (mild, strong, lungo, etc.). Third-party pods in standard ESE format also work. Avoid hard pods like Nespresso or Dolce Gusto, which are incompatible with this system.
How to adjust the height of the spout?
The spout of the SENSEO TWIST is height-adjustable to fit different cup sizes. Simply turn the spout left or right to adjust it before starting the preparation. Make sure your cup is well-centered under the spout to avoid splashes.
How to prepare 1 or 2 cups simultaneously?
Insert the 1-cup pod holder (1 pod) or 2-cup pod holder (2 pods) as needed, then place your cups under the spout. Press the 1-cup or 2-cup button on the machine. The SENSEO TWIST heats up quickly and starts pouring automatically.
Can the coffee intensity be adjusted?
Yes, the SENSEO TWIST HD7870/91 features an intensity selector with touch control. You can choose between a light, normal, or strong coffee before each preparation to suit your preferences.
Does the automatic shut-off function work on this model?
Yes, the machine automatically turns off after 15 minutes of inactivity to save energy. This function is active by default and cannot be disabled on this model.
When and how to descale the SENSEO TWIST HD7870/91?
A descaling indicator light comes on when the machine needs descaling. Use a compatible Senseo/Philips liquid descaler, available in supermarkets or on the Philips website. Follow the descaling program indicated in the manual: generally, fill the tank with the diluted solution and run the descaling cycle. Then rinse with clear water by running a full cycle.
The coffee flows very slowly or the machine produces nothing, what to do?
Slow flow is often a sign of needed descaling: wait for the indicator or run a preventive descaling. Also check that the pod is not too compacted in the pod holder, and that the water tank is well-filled and correctly inserted. If the problem persists, clean the pod holder under hot water.
How to clean the pod holder and drip tray?
Remove the pod holder after each use, discard the used pod, and rinse it with hot water. The drip tray is removable: empty it regularly (it has a level indicator) and wash it with soapy water. Do not place any parts in the dishwasher without checking the manual.
The machine leaks under the pod holder, what to do?
A leak under the pod holder is usually caused by a poorly positioned pod, a poorly locked pod holder, or an irregularly pierced pod. Make sure to insert the pod flat and close the pod holder until it clicks. If the leak persists, check the condition of the pod holder's sealing ring.
The coffee is not hot enough when served, how to fix it?
Preheat your cups by filling them with hot water a few seconds before preparation. Also check that the machine has finished its heating cycle (the indicator light should be stable before starting). Regular descaling also ensures optimal water temperature.
What distinguishes the HD7870/91 edition by Kenzo Takada from the standard SENSEO TWIST?
The HD7870/91 is a limited edition featuring an exclusive design by Japanese designer Kenzo Takada, in white and lime green with floral patterns inspired by his universe. The technical features are identical to the standard SENSEO TWIST HD7870. It is both a collector's item and a daily appliance.
Where to find spare parts for the SENSEO TWIST HD7870/91?
You can find spare parts (pod holder, seal, drip tray, reservoir) on specialized sites like Spareka or Fixpart. Indicate the exact reference HD7870/91 to find compatible parts.

What should I do when my Philips Senseo Twist by Kenzo Takada HD7870/91 coffee machine displays a message "Not enough water"?
Frequently Asked Questions - 07/02/2026
Response Notice-Facile

If your Philips Senseo Twist by Kenzo Takada HD7870/91 coffee machine displays a message indicating "Not enough water", here are several steps to follow to resolve this issue:

1. Check the water level in the reservoir

Make sure that the water reservoir is filled to the maximum level indicated. Remove it and refill if necessary.

2. Properly reinstall the reservoir

After refilling, put the reservoir back in place ensuring it is securely clicked in. Improper installation may prevent the machine from detecting the water.

3. Clean the reservoir and sensors

Residues or deposits may obstruct the water sensors. Clean the reservoir with warm water and a soft cloth. Also, check that the contacts between the reservoir and the machine are clean.

4. Check the filters and pods

If you are using pods, ensure they are not blocked and are inserted correctly, as this can affect overall operation.

5. Restart the machine

Turn off the machine, wait a few seconds, then turn it back on to see if the message persists.

If the problem continues despite these checks, it may be a technical malfunction requiring specialized assistance.

Preparing coffee with SENSEO TWIST HD7870/91:

Before starting, fill the removable water tank with fresh tap water up to the indicated level, then replace it. Plug in the coffee maker and press the on/off button: the indicator light blinks slowly while the water heats to the right temperature.

Pull the lid lever up to open it automatically. Depending on the number of cups desired, place the coffee pad holder for one cup or for two cups in the coffee maker, ensuring it is clean.

Close the lid and lock the safety lever. Place one or two cups under the spout's drainage openings (you can adjust its height by sliding it). Make sure to use cups with a minimum capacity of 150 ml for a regular coffee or 100 ml for a short coffee.

Use the touch selection button to choose the desired intensity: press until the cup symbol with three bars appears for a regular coffee of 125 ml, or the cup symbol with one bar for a short and strong coffee of 60 ml. Then press the button for one cup or for two cups according to your selection. Brewing starts as soon as the water has reached the right temperature.

Once the coffee is prepared, remove the coffee pad holder from the coffee maker and empty it of used pods. Caution: the pods may contain some hot water. To turn off the coffee maker, press the on/off button; note that the device automatically shuts off after 15 minutes of inactivity to save energy.

How to unlock the lid of the PHILIPS SENSEO TWIST BY KENZO TAKADA HD7870/91 coffee machine?
Frequently Asked Questions - 02/12/2025
Response Notice-Facile

The lid of your PHILIPS SENSEO TWIST BY KENZO TAKADA HD7870/91 normally opens by pulling the lid lever upwards. If the lid refuses to open, it usually indicates that a vacuum has formed underneath the lid, which is common and safe.

Unlocking procedure:

  • Pull the lid lever firmly upwards
  • Wait 24 hours before trying to open the lid again, which will allow the vacuum to dissipate
  • Opening the lid may require more effort than usual - this is normal

Important: Do not excessively force the lid during this operation. Adhere to the 24-hour waiting period, which is recommended by the manufacturer to safely resolve this issue.

To prevent this issue in the future: Ensure that the pod holder (brewing chamber) is always clean after each use, and check that the mesh filter is not clogged with coffee residues or limescale. Also, keep the lid clean and properly fitted, and always lock the lever after closing the lid before starting the brewing process.

If after 24 hours of waiting the lid remains stuck or opens difficultly multiple times, contact PHILIPS customer service for professional assistance.

7 Descaling

Scale builds up inside the machine during use. It is essential to descale the SENSEO® coffee machine when the CALC light goes on. Use SENSEO® Descalera (HD7012, HD7011, HD7006) only.

When to descale

  • Descale the SENSEO® coffee machine as described below when the CALC light goes on (after you have brewed approx. 400 cups of SENSEO® coffee).

PHILIPS SENSEO TWIST BY KENZO TAKADA HD7870/91 - When to descale - 1

Why to descale

Your reasons to descale:

It prolongs the life of your SENSEO® coffee machine
It ensures maximum cup volume
It ensures maximum coffee temperature
- The machine produces less sound during brewing
It prevents malfunctioning

If the descending procedure is not performed correctly, scale residue remains behind in the machine. This causes scale to build up more quickly and may cause permanent and irreparable damage to the machine.

Use the correct descending agent

Use SENSEO® Descaler (HD7012, HD7011, HD7006) only. It has been developed to ensure better machine performance and operation. Each descending mixture can be used only once. For more information about this descaler, visit our website www.philips.com.

Warning:

Never use a descending agent based on mineral acids such as sulphuric acid, hydrochloric acid, sulphamic acid and acetic acid (e.g. vinegar). These descending agents may damage your SENSEO® coffee machine.

7.1 Descaling procedure

The descending procedure consists of a descending cycle and two flushing cycles. Do not interrupt the descending cycle and do not switch off the machine before you have performed the two flushing cycles.

Mix 50 grams of citric acid with 1 litre of water in a measuring jug. Stir until the powder has dissolved. Fill the water reservoir with the descaling mixture.

12 Troubleshooting

12.1 SENSEO® coffee machine

This chapter summarises the most common problems you could encounter with the machine. If you are unable to solve the problem with the information below, visit www.philips.com/support for a list of frequently asked questions or contact the Consumer Care Centre in your country.

ProblemSolution
My cup overflowed when I used the machine for the first time.You probably tried to brew a cup of coffee without flushing the machine first. Before you start brewing coffee, you have to flush the machine. When you switch on the machine again, the on/off button either lights up continuously or flashes slowly or rapidly.
If the on/off button lights up continuously, you have to carry out the flushing procedure (see chapter 'Flushing the machine before first use').
If the on/off button flashes slowly or rapidly, you do NOT have to carry out the flushing procedure. If the on/off button flashes slowly, the water is heating up. If it flashes rapidly, there is not enough water in the water reservoir or the water reservoir is not placed on the machine properly.
Water continued to flow from the spout when I used the machine for the first time.If water continued to flow from the spout until the water reservoir was empty, the machine was performing the flushing cycle. Before you start brewing coffee, you have to flush the machine. When you switch on the machine again, the on/off button either lights up continuously or flashes slowly or rapidly.
If the on/off button lights up continuously, you have to carry out the flushing procedure (see chapter 'Flushing the machine before first use').
If the on/off button flashes slowly or rapidly, you do NOT have to carry out the flushing procedure. If the on/off button flames slowly, the water is heating up. If it flashes rapidly, there is not enough water in the water reservoir or the water reservoir is not placed on the machine properly.
The on/off button flashes slowly.You have used the SENSEO® coffee machine at an altitude higher than 2200 metres above sea level. This has caused the water in the machine to start boiling before it has reached the required temperature, which prevents the machine from functioning properly. Switch off the machine and no longer use it at altitudes higher than 2200 metres above sea level.
The CALC light flashes.You have pressed the 1-cup button and the 2-cup button at the same time. This started the descending cycle. If you did not intend to start the descending cycle, simply press the on/off button to switch off the machine. If you did intend to start the descending cycle, do not interrupt this cycle but let the appliance operate until the water reservoir is empty.
The CALC light does not go out after descending.The CALC light does not go out if the descending procedure has not been performed correctly. To perform the descending procedure correctly:
1. Make sure that you do not interrupt the descending cycle or switch off or unplug the machine during the descending cycle. During the descending cycle, hot water comes out of the coffee spout at intervals and the machine stops descending 3 to 4 times to let the descending mixture act and to heat up again.
2. Make sure that you start the descending cycle by pressing the 1-cup button and the 2-cup button at the same time. See chapter 'Dscaling' for a complete description of the descending procedure.
3. Make sure that you use three full water reservoirs to complete the descending procedure: one reservoir filled with descending mixture and two reservoirs filled with fresh water.
The on/off button continues to flash rapidly.Make sure that there is enough water in the water reservoir and that the water reservoir is placed properly.
Make sure that the ambient temperature is not lower than 5°C. If it is, the machine does not function properly.
Water leaks from the coffee machine.If you notice coffee or water leaking from your SENSEO® machine, try to establish where the leakage occurs. This is important, as the location of the leakage determines the solution.
1. If the leakage occurs near the lid or the spout, make sure that:
1a. The sieve in the centre of the pod holder is not clogged. If it is, unclog the sieve by holding the pod holder under a running tap.
1b. The coffee pod has been put properly in the centre of the pod holder.
1c. The sealing ring has not got stuck under the edge of the water distribution disc (see figure 1 at the beginning of this user manual).
1d. The spout and the coffee collector have been placed correctly.
2. If the leakage occurs near the bottom of the water reservoir or under the machine, make sure that:
2a. There is not too much water in the water reservoir.
2b. You do not place the water reservoir onto the machine too roughly. If you place the water reservoir too roughly, water may splash out of the water reservoir.
2c. The water reservoir is not damaged or broken. Normally, water should not start to drip from the water outlet in the bottom of the water reservoir within 30 seconds after filling.
I cannot open the lid.A vacuum may have temporarily formed under the lid. Switch off the machine. Pull up the lever and wait 24 hours before you open the lid. You may need to use quite some force.
Make sure that you do not move the SENSEO® machine. Moving the machine, placing it outdoors or in a cool or cold environment does not accelerate the unlocking of the lid.
For this not to happen again, always make sure that the pod holders are clean and that the sieve in the centre of the pod holders is not clogged.
The coffee machine produces less coffee than before.Perhaps the sieve in the centre of the pod holder is clogged. If this is the case, unclog the sieve by rinsing the pod holder under a running tap. Use a washing-up brush to clean the sieve, if necessary.
Descale the machine (see chapter 'Dscaling').
I cannot close the lid properly.Check if a used coffee pod is sticking to the water distribution disc. If this is the case, remove the used pod.
Check if you used the correct pod holder. Use 2 pods in combination with the deeper 2-cup pod holder DQP.
The SENSEO® coffee is not strong enough.Make sure that you have selected the coffee strength that you prefer. You can choose between regular and strong coffee. You can also increase or decrease the coffee strength by setting your preferred amount of coffee with the personal coffee memory function (HD7872 only).
Make sure that you have used the correct number of pods and have pressed the right button. Use 2 pods in combination with the 2-cup pod holder DQP and the 2-cup button DQP.
Make sure that you have placed the coffee pod or pods properly in the centre of the pod holder, to prevent water from escaping along the edge of the pod or pods. When you use two coffee pods on top of each other, make sure that the convex sides of both pods point downwards and press the pods lightly into the pod holder.
Make sure that you have not used the same coffee pod twice by accident.
Make sure that the coffee in the pod is evenly distributed.
If you prefer a more robust flavour, SENSEO® coffee pods with a stronger blend are available.
The coffee is not hot enough.If you have used the machine for quite some time and the temperature of the coffee decreases, we advise you to descale the machine. See chapter 'Dscaling'. Descale your SENSEO® coffee machine regularly.
Do not use cups that are too large, as they cause the coffee to get cold more quickly. Make sure that the cups have a capacity of at least 150ml.
Use thin-walled cups. Thin-walled cups absorb less heat from the coffee than thick-walled cups.
Make sure the size of the cup matches the amount of coffee. Do not brew a small amount of coffee in a large cup.
If you drink coffee with fresh milk, preheat the milk in the cup in a microwave.
You can preheat the coffee machine by first brewing a cup of coffee without placing a coffee pod in the pod holder. In this way you also heat up your coffee cup.
The touch panel does not work.If there is water on the touch panel, the buttons do not work. Make sure that the touch panel is dry and also make sure your hands are dry when you use the touch panel.
Make sure that you press the selection button and not the symbols to the left of the selection button.
I accidentally activate the touch panel when I clean it.This happens because the touch panel is very sensitive and the buttons only require a light touch to be activated. There is no problem when this happens, the machine will not start brewing coffee.
Unplug the machine before you clean it.
HD7872 only: The personal coffee memory button does not produce the amount of coffee I prefer.Please read section 'Personal coffee memory' in chapter 'Brewing SENSEO® coffee' and try to set the amount of coffee you prefer again.
