Great Coffee Made Quick! By Christi239 on - Updated Oct 15, 2011
The Senseo Coffee Machine is a system which uses pods, premade circular filters with coffee contained in the middle, and pressurized water to make a single cup. The coffee machine has no coffee pot, you place your cup directly under the spout and the outcome is a cup of hot, frothy coffee. The Senseo is easy to use. I found the directions to be easy to follow, but I must admit I forgot to lock the top down, where the pressurized water passes through the pod, the first time and I made a complete mess. But, after a quick cleanup I had it running smoothly.
I gave this an overall rating of 4 because I'm not sure I would say this product is any better than other coffee makers on the market. The pods tend to be expensive. You can purchase different brands of pods, as well as a reusable pod, but none of them are endorsed by Senseo directly. If you're willing to go out on your own, against the company's instructions, and purchase other brands of pods then it may be worth the cost to get frothy coffee.

I like the idea of one cup at a time. Especially during the day when you just want a cup of coffee, not a whole pot. Thanks!
Interesting machine. Maybe good for someone who lives alone and just wants one cup a day.
First time I've heard of this machine. Thanks for a good description.
I got one of these free last summer when they had a promotion to get the word out on the machines. My hubby is the only one who drinks coffee and is saving it until his current machine breaks down. I heard the pods were expensive too. But I would definately look into the reusable pods.
I had to give up coffee unfortunately, but I like the fact you can make one cup at a time instead of a whole pot.
Thanks for the honest information and insight on this product.
One cup at a time seems like a nice and practical feature on this coffee machine.
This sounds very cool for those that just need one cup of coffee and don't want to waste a whole brewed pot! I'm gonna suggest this to my coffee drinking friends. The price isn't bad either.
I love coffee, but like you I am not sure about this. Anyway I usually make a pot and drink it all! Thanks for the great information. Great job.
I tried to get one of these through the free offer and didn't get it. It sounds like I really missed out.
