Advantages: quick and easy
Disadvantages: mug size can be awkward

I bought this machine before christmas and i can honestly say it is the best £30 i have spent, I purchased it from tesco. You can buy the refills from tesco, i haven't seen them elsewhere but im sure most supermarkets sell them and though not as cheap as instant, it is still worth it. I know tesco's do their own brand for it but they don't do a great selection for it. Their is a lot of different coffees made by senseo for it and they keep on bringing ...
...good cappocunio for it as well. The machine is quick to use and has a large water container at the rear which is easy to get at and fill up. It is easily cleaned and only needs the coffee pod removed to clean it. The only fault i find with it is getting the correct size mug to fit,as most of the mugs i have are too tall, but this is slight complaint . And lastley my wife can even use it. ... Read review

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. ... Read review

Advantages: Simple to use, Makes a great pot every time
Disadvantages: No fancy attachments, hotplate has no thermostat

...Now, I had my last Philips Cafe Comfort Plus for several years. It worked wonderfully all the time. I took good care of it by descaling it once a year, but some people might want to do that more often, if they use it more than daily. So, why did I get a new one? Silly reason, actually - we broke the pot on the old one. Now since I live in Israel, finding a pot to fit this machine was a bit of a needle in a haystack project. Since my husband was on ...
...he decided to just get me a whole new machine - and, smart fellow that he is, he got me the same one, but just this prettier, newer version, which actually has a larger capacity than the old one. The old one was an 8/10 cup maker while this is a 10/12 cup maker. Bright guy, huh? All in all, I love this machine, and if you're looking for a simple easy way to make a good pot of coffee, this should certainly be one of the models you seriously concider. ... Read review

Advantages: quality coffee at home
Disadvantages: Not many flavours

...instructions are essential, but luckily Philips has supplied a quick-start guide. The machine needs to be 'flushed' before you can have your first coffee. This is a process of filling the removable back reservoir with water to fill the internal boiler. It's a quick and simple process and really no trouble at all. Once the button stops flashing, and is shining brightly your Senseo machine is ready to roll. Next you need to get out one of the coffee ...
...it in the pod holder. There are 2 pod holders in the kit, one to hold just one pod, and one with a two pod capacity. Almost inevitably, the formula is a pod per person. I was just having the one cup, as Mr does not drink hot drinks. So I popped the pod holder, holding the pod, into the machine. The obvious and essential component not contained in the pack is a cup. This needs to be placed on the grill under the outlet. Next up, the lid needs to be ... Read review

Advantages: Great milk frother
Disadvantages: Takes a long time to clean

...coffee machine i thought the Morphy Richards Mr Cappuccino would be my ideal solution. I was right in a way! The coffee produced was good and the milk frother was excellent. It came with a handy recipe section in the manual to tell me exactly how to make the perfect cappucino, latte, irish coffee etc. I couldn't be more happy, and then i had to wash it up! with 5 seperate parts that all need washing (some immediately before you can even enjoy your ...
