Product Information
Full details
The Philips Daily Collection HD7461/20 is designed for coffee enthusiasts who appreciate simplicity, consistency, and a compact footprint in their kitchen. Its standout feature, the Aroma Twister, ensures a uniform flavor profile by circulating coffee within the glass jug, while the 1.2-litre capacity serves up to 15 cups. While it is highly efficient and user-friendly, users should note that it requires manual ground coffee preparation and lacks a built-in grinder.

FAQs
Can I use this machine for tea?
This machine is specifically designed for brewing ground coffee. Using other substances may clog the filter or cause damage.
What happens if I forget to turn it off?
The machine features an auto-off function that shuts down the power 30 minutes after brewing for your safety.
Is the glass jug fragile?
It is made of standard kitchen-grade glass; handle with care to avoid impacts, but it is safe for dishwasher use.
Does it have a 'keep warm' function?
The machine keeps the coffee warm on the plate until the auto-shutoff triggers after 30 minutes.
Can I use permanent mesh filters in this model?
Yes, you can use a compatible permanent mesh filter instead of paper filters if desired.
Troubleshooting
Coffee is not brewing or machine won't turn on
Ensure the power cord is securely plugged in and the illuminated power switch is set to the ON position.
Water is leaking from the machine
Check that the water tank has not been filled above the 'MAX' indicator line and ensure the filter holder is properly seated.
Brewing takes longer than 10 minutes
The machine likely needs to be descaled. Mineral deposits can build up and restrict water flow.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care and Maintenance
- Daily: Rinse the glass jug and filter holder after each use. These are dishwasher-safe, but hand washing is also effective for longevity.
- Descaling: Depending on the hardness of your water, descale the machine every 2-3 months to maintain brewing speed and temperature. Use a standard coffee machine descaler or a diluted vinegar solution, running it through a full brew cycle followed by two cycles of clear water.
