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

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, ... ...this is 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.

The machine is simple to use and you have 2 choices of pod holders, either 1 cup or 2 cups, these are decided on from the type of pods that you use. (The pods hold the coffee and are inserted easily for the water to drain through, and there are many different ... ...holders are included, other pod adaptors can be purchased for Expresso etc) Once you have completed the initial set up, you can insert your pod, wait for the red light to come on, then select the 1 or 2 cup button that you want.
