5 out of 5 stars Coffee When I want it!   August 30, 2008
Let me just say that I have had this model for a couple of years and have never had a problem with it. It does not leak. It does make a perfect 4oz or 8oz cup of coffee with crema. In fact, I am off to get a cup now.


3 out of 5 stars Good but could be better   August 22, 2008
I like the ease of use but would like to get better tea selection and larger cups of water each time. Overall though I like and will continue to use it for the price.


1 out of 5 stars Leaks all over the place!   August 18, 2008
This thing leaks all over the counter top. Apparently, others have had the same problem. Avoid this coffee maker!Senseo HD7810/65 1450-Watt Single-Serve Coffeemaker, Black


4 out of 5 stars Eh - not the best - but sure is convenient   August 1, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I am a coffee addict - I'll admit it. I own more coffee makers/presses/ espresso machines/ grinders than I care to admit here. This was purchased for me as a Christmas gift one year ago (I received 3 coffee makers from various people that year). This has since gone to work with me.

Pros:
Brews fast
Pods are cheap, easy to find, not proprietary only (e.g. Tassimo)
Tons of pod choices
Pods are easy to store in canisters, ziploc bags, wherever
Super convenient
Compact design/sleek/unobtrusive
Not too messy, not much to clean/maintain

Cons:
Leaks (if you don't get the pod just so)
Coffee quality is on par with Folger's - it's not Peets, folks
Doesn't do teas well (coffee taste transfers, this is not really a fair con since it is not marketed to do so)
Poor reservoir capacity - must re-fill every two cups of coffee (my cups are always with the double pod button - so every 4 pods worth)
Loud (relative to any other coffee maker I own)
Takes quite a while to heat up (relative to Tassimo)

It boils down to - I would not drink this at home, but It sure gets me through the afternoon at work without having to pay the $2 they want for a cup of standard coffee here. It's a 3 star for coffee quality, but a 4 star for design. The Sumatra and French Vanilla (Senseo brand) are both okay. The senseo Barista Blends are horrible and overpriced. I would recommend this to someone who wants something quick and easy for work or maybe in the bedroom. I could see putting this on my nightstand (now that would be pretty sad).



3 out of 5 stars Not for everyone   July 25, 2008
I love coffee. I home-roast, and have a nice collection of various coffee brewing tools- moka pots, presses, and a few espresso machines and grinders. What drew me to the Senseo was the pressurized brewing system, the various third party refillable pod options available, and the many positive reviews coupled with my own curiosity. I also like to get good value for my hard-earned dollar, and I was fortunate to come across the "Share Senseo" program, ran by the parent company Sara Lee, and bought this machine for $15, the cost of shipping. Pretty cool, I thought.

The machine arrived in just a few days, and came with a variety pack of pods. A few words about the pods... as a home-roaster, I am used to really fresh coffee- as I expected, the pods smelled faintly stale, right out of the package, and I won't be buying any of those in the future. Another thing about the pods- one pod makes a 4oz "serving"- who on earth only drinks half a cup of coffee? I see this as a maketing tool to get the consumer to buy more pods, hence extracting more money out of your wallet. Just my opinion.

The machine will be fun to use on the weekends, since it only produces a maximum of 8 ounces at a time. I take a 20oz travel mug to work, in addition to the cup I drink before I leave the house. Using the Senseo would mean running two 8oz plus a 4oz cycle for my travel mug alone- not very practical when my large coffee press does the job nicely.

I think this machine is a good option for someone who will be using the pods, to keep in their private office- in this setting, I would also buy the large water tank- (shame on Senseo for shipping these with such a small tank, then selling the large tank for $20, again extracting more $$$). For myself, I would not pay full retail for one of these, which is why I only bought one when I found it for $15. Keep in mind that for $30 you could buy a Bodum New Kenya 34-Ounce Coffee Press, Black, and a Proctor Silex K2070 1-Quart Automatic Electric Kettle, White right here on Amazon- just add some quality, fresh ground beans and you'll have a real cup of coffee.
