Review of Braun TA 1200 Tassimo Silver/Black

Coffee for your senses

Advantages: Delicious coffee
Disadvantages: Quite expensive

...have worked in conjunction with Philips to produce the coffee that goes into the pods. The pods take the quesswork out of how much coffee to use, there is the perfect amount in each pod. The pods come in various blends and types , including dark roast, medium roast, decaffeinated, Sumatra blend, Kenya blend, Brazil blend - these are all single pods or classic and dark roast mug or two cup pods and also a cappuccino - which include pods and sachets. ...
...preference and the coffee that comes from the machine is dark and aromatic with a lovely crema layer on the top. I drink black,coffee but if I am making it for people who drink it white I usually heat some milk in the microwave to pour into the coffee when it is made. Personally I wasn't keen on the cappuccino pods and sachet - I much prefer it black. The resulting black coffee is rather like a slightly weaker espresso. MAINTENANCE The Senseo ...

Review of Philips HD7814/62 Senseo

Who fancies burning their hands and face off? No?

Advantages: Makes coffee efficiently with no waste. Small footprint.
Disadvantages: Design seriously lacks numerous safety considerations; no on-off switch.

...dumb. I don't know what Dualit were thinking when they decided to put this into production as-is. Even if you open the lid and look inside, you can't see how much liquid is in the thing as the coffee drum is located at the top. I haven't yet worked-out how one is supposed to know when the jug is empty and therefore liable to burn-out. The outside of the kettle gets boiling hot. It could be lined or dual-walled (especially at this price). The ...
...lack of quality-control at the Dualit factory for this imperfect knob to make it onto the lid and then onto the machine. Who knows, with all that heat, p'raps the air inside this bubble will expand enough to bust through the weakened bobble and shoot scalding coffee all over the place in a pretty, swirling fountain of boiling brown stuff. Besides, if you were to choose to shoot boiling liquid through any part of such a device, what complete cretin ...

Review of Dualit 84036

Senseo Coffee Machine

Advantages: Easy to use, nice coffee.
Disadvantages: Only one kind of drink can be made.

I don't have one of these myself, but my mum and dad have one, and I use it alot when I'm there. They love this machine and I must say I love it too. Its so easy to use, and makes gorgeous coffee, the only bad thing I have to say about it is that you can only make plain coffee with it, unlike machines such as Tassimo and Dolche Gusto which you can make espresso, latte, mocha, hot chocolate etc, with this you can only make filter coffee. But, if thats ...
...brilliant. The pods you use are relitively cheap, and you can get cheaper varieties of them rather than the Senseo ones which fit perfectly. Its fully automatic, meaning you just press a button and it dispenses the rigth amount of water for the cups, and you can make either one or two cups at a time unlike some other machines meaning it saves time and energy. Its great value for money and you can get them from £31 from places like Littlewoods and ...

Review of Philips HD7816/50 Senseo Silver

Don't do it

Advantages: choice of strong or weak coffee
Disadvantages: Had a poor feel about it - cheap plastic feel

I bought this for a present for my husband and was duly disappointed by the cheap feel the machine had. When it worked it worked well. There is a choice of strong or weak coffee (my moving a very cheap, plastic lever). The coffee it produced was very nice and not at all bitter. The shape of the coffee jug made it difficult to pour water into the back of the machine, or to pour coffee into a cup without spilling some. It lasted approximately 8 months ...
