The Alpha and Omega of All Coffee-Makers

Advantages: Great lattes and easy automatic cleaning function. Adjusts to almost any cup height.
Disadvantages: Expensive and parts get stuck sometimes.

The Philips HD 7850/60/61 Senseo Latte Select B is a good addition to the kitchen, provided you really love lattes. It is quite stylish and black, which is a plus in my opinion, and it's also pretty small, so it fits in my tiny kitchen. It's by far the most chic coffee-maker I've ever come across and it has a few add-ons which make it very easy to operate. It filters coffee very quickly ( 30 seconds) and it has and automatic turn off, both of which ...
...Actually, in my opinion, quick is the only way to go when you want coffee, because you are usually drinking it in the mornings before work. It makes a wonderful latte in my opinion, but I've found the capuccinos and latte machiato to be tasty as well/ It will also make cafe lattes and just plain old coffee. The add-ons I mentioned previously are unusually helpful, as coffee makers go. It has strength settings for the coffee, so when you stay out ...

Review of Philips HD 7850/60/61/63/67/68/69 Senseo La

A COMMON SENSE(O) COFFEE MACHINE

Advantages: Super fast coffee delivery, Lovely fresh flavour, Compact design
Disadvantages: Pod's can be expensive if you do not shop around; Water tank needs to be filled with hot water

...eventually decided upon was the Philips Senseo - a fine looking pod based machine that sounded easy to use, simple to clean and the pods were not overly expensive but were readily available. A little price comparison work and I found one ready to take home for little more than thirty pounds. What is in the box? Firstly – and of course most importantly – you get the machine itself; measuring a touch over twelve inches in height it takes up little ...
...decided upon is finished in finest black plastic and metal, although there are silver, blue and red variations available to match personal taste and colour schemes. Next out of the box comes the water tank, easy to fill via the tap it holds one and a half pints and slots effortlessly onto the back of the unit. A couple of pod holders come next, the first deep enough to hold one pod while the second is designed to accommodate two pods – ideal for ...

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

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

Super Senseo

Advantages: Quick, easy, economical
Disadvantages: Not good for large groups

General I have 3 machines (house, flat and caravan) and know of 4 other people who have bought them based on sampling my coffee. They are simplicity itself and with pods priced from £2 per pack, remarkably cheap to run. In addition, the worms in my wormery just love devouring the pods after use! Specifics The machines are easy to load and use, though I would recommend the frequent washing of the drip tray to prevent mould growth! Excellent for ...
...6 require mugs of coffee, then it can take a while. For those who like their coffee milky, heat the milk in a microwave before adding the coffee - a superb cup of hot, frothy, milky coffee is quickly obtained. For those who like espresso, then a pod of strong coffee in a small cup produces a very acceptable result. ...
