Philips Essence HD7605 Coffee Maker

Advantages: Perfect coffee at the press of a button
Disadvantages: Pods can be hard to find at times

...when my dear husband walked in with a little present for me ( bless him!!) - a Phillips Senseo coffee maker. It didn't take long for me to realise that my search was over and I had found the coffee machine of my dreams. A coffee machine that looks good, is incredibly easy to use, very easy to clean and most important makes a perfect cup of coffee every time at the touch of a button. Six years on my senseo is still going strong ( and believe me it is VERY well used), my only problem was when I dropped the water reservoir on the stone floor and broke it. I was able to get a replacement from Phillips for £10 and I just about managed to get through the week it took to arrive without my Senseo coffee. The Senseo coffee machine is made by Phillips with an input from the coffee makers, Douwe Egberts. There are four varieties... Read review

Advantages: Quick, easy to use, price
Disadvantages: None

...My husband bought me the Senseo coffee maker for a Christmas present 2006, I must say it was one of the best things he has ever bought me.I love my coffee and have used it most days and more than once a day since. It is still going strong! The Senseo doesn't have all the fancy bits to it that other coffee machines do, but it makes a nice cup of coffee and is very easy to use.

All in all, I like it. Its a good price and makes nice coffee, itt is also easy to clean, which is another bonus for me. You can buy the pods easily in supermarkets or online, where you get quite a wide selection. Although, the pods can be quite expensive in... Read review

Advantages: great tasting coffe at the touch of a button
Disadvantages: not cost effective

...i have tasted many different types of coffee but coffee from this machine is by far my favorite taste and gets the balance between taste and strength perfectly.if you want the exact cup of good coffee every time then this is definitely the product for you. the only disadvantage is of the coffee maker is that it is not particularly cost effective. genius as they are the coffee pods to place inside the machine are not cheap. All i am saying is that this product is probably not the best gift for a student as they would find it hard to keep buying the pouches needed. apart from this i have been very impressed with the machine and do not regret buying it in the slightest. the only other miniscule disadvantage with this machine is that it is quite noisy. when making the coffee when coming back from a night out or first thing in the morning it...
