1 out of 5 stars expensive and did not work   July 11, 2008
I purchased this product as it is very hard to locate a pod coffee maker in a rural area. It was pretty pricey and when it finelly arrived it did not work at all. That was quite some time ago and I sent it back but am still waiting on a refund. It was not worth the hassle.


5 out of 5 stars cup-a-day   July 6, 2008
Senseo single serve coffee maker. We are not heavy coffee drinkers but do like a cup once in a while. This machine fits our needs nicely. Quick and easy,no waste,no mess. We also have an option as to flavors. Sometimes my Bride has a decaf and I can have the high test. Good product,great price.


5 out of 5 stars LOVE IT!!!   June 24, 2008

We absolutely LOVE this machine! Love the variety of coffe on a whim; we don't think it is all that expensive. If you average it out, it's .25 cents per cup, or .50 if you are having a coffee mug sized cup. It's ALOT cheaper than Starbucks and we like it better than Starbucks! The Capaccino is fabulous, and 16 pods at Target is $4.00 dollars, also available at Walmart. We bought the model that already comes with the larger water dispenser, I would recommend buying the XL water tank if you are buying a model with a regular sized tank. We also purchased the Pod Maker and Pods to make our own tea's and grind our own coffees for the Pods. We found our machine on Amazon NEW for $50.00....I bought the Pod Maker, extra pods and the machine for $125.00 with shipping. We could not be happier with this product, we drink coffee night and day and we like it fresh...so this is the perfect coffee maker for us. I will definitely recomend this to everyone I know.


3 out of 5 stars GREAT- if you're into weak coffee   June 19, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I read all the reviews and was troubled with the ones that mentioned the coffee being weak... They were right. I had some coffee that had been made with this machine at a relative's home and thought it was quite good. Sadly, I could not get the coffee strength up. I tried stronger roasts like the Sumatra that some reviewers commented on. If you use two pods of that and set it for one cup, you get what I would call a passable, light cup of coffee.

To make matters a little worse, the machine did not ship with all that was promised. Instead of a thermal mug, one small glass Sanseo mug was substituted. The two canisters were not included with my order. The coffee was there, but I really didn't care for it (aside from the brew strength issue.)

If you're someone that doesn't like very strong coffee, this machine might be perfect. It does make a cup rather quickly, with nice crema.

In my pursuit of a better coffee maker, I very nearly bought a Jura Capresso J5, but at the last minute spotted a deal at Costco for an all metal Saeco Incanto Super Automatic Espresso Maker. I'll let you know how that goes.


2 out of 5 stars If you like strong coffee, forget it   June 16, 2008
My wife and I were wasting lots of coffee by making big pots and getting up at different times, so we thought the Senseo was perfect for us--fresh coffee on demand, no waste. It's a great concept, but unfortunately the Senseo machine has two fundamental limitations if you like strong, European style (or even just Starbucks style) coffee: the double pod holder (it comes with two of them, including a smaller single pod holder) does not hold enough coffee (that is to say, the pods are too small, and even if they weren't, the double pod holder is), and you are limited to the predetermined one-cup or two-cup amount of heated water dispensed for each serving. The result? Too much water for too little coffee, even on the strongest setting, which is two pods for 4 oz. of water. If you like strong coffee, you will be very disappointed, and you will spend a king's ransom doubling up on pods for each serving, only to be disappointed anyway with the flavor. Shortly after deciding the Senseo would not work (and trying countless other pods--the best, by the way, are the Target French Roast pods: beefier than the Senseo pods and cheap, but two of them won't fit in the double pod holder), I bought a Hamilton Beach "Three In One" machine for 20 bucks at Target. This is the machine you want. Why? It is essentially a modified drip coffee maker in miniature, but without the "stay warm" heating element that fries the coffee. You decide how much coffee to put in the small, 1 cup permanent filter (included) and you decide how much water to put in the reservoir, which holds about 12-14 ounces. You can make it to your taste--super strong or super weak--and even if you max out the amount of water you use, the filter holds more than enough coffee for even the stiffest brew. Once loaded, you flip the lid down and it dispenses a super-hot big mug of real, fresh-brewed coffee in under 2 minutes. Also, it will just dispense super hot water if you want tea or ramen. For 20 bucks. No waste, rinse the permanent filter in the disposal half of your sink or compost the grounds if you like, and you're done. I like the Senseo concept a lot and tried everything to make it work, but until they tweak the proportions between coffee and water, it's worthless for us strong coffee drinkers.
