I was given this machine as a present, so glad I did not waste my own money on this product ! It's design is flimsy. It makes tiny cups of coffee (definetely does not make a mug). My coffee cups... more

    4 Stars A COMMON SENSE(O) COFFEE MACHINE Review with images 26/05/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Super fast coffee delivery, Lovely fresh flavour, Compact design

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Pod's can be expensive if you do not shop around; Water tank needs to be filled with hot water

    If there is anyone alive who enjoys a nice cup of strong, hot, flavoursome, fragrant coffee more than I do, I’d love to meet them. Unfortunately my java addiction - running to several cups a day - would cost a small fortune should I go down the convenient route of getting my fix from Starbucks or Costa coffee. Clearly something had to be done to manage my coffee consumption for fear of bankrupting me on a sea of cappuccino. I needed a way of recreating that ‘just ground’ taste without needing to take out a second mortgage. I knew there were a good few coffee filter machines about - indeed I’d ... more

    5 Stars Sheer Taste Delight With Every Senseo-tion...! 24/12/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Makes a top notch brew

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Refills can be a bit pricey

    I am a lover of proper coffee I don't really like freeze dried although if forced (dying of thirst and there is nothing else) I will drink it. However my wife decided she was going to get me a present that I would really appreciate for my last birthday, she is quite clever at things like that. How she came upon the idea of one of these I shall never know, but what a great idea it was. The principle of these machines is very simple, the coffee comes in pods, (like tea bags) so it works more or less exactly like your run of the mill percolator, in principle that is. The great thing going for it ... more

    4 Stars Cheap Product, expensive up-keep 10/08/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages sleek design, easily washable, great cup of coffee

    Disadvantages Disadvantages poor water heating, expensive pods, water holder may leak

    So, coffee machines have been around since pretty much the dawn of time, but in the last couple of years 'pod' based machines have been filling the kitchen counters of coffee lovers all across the country. There's a reason for that, not only do you not have to worry about the mess of filter papers and granules flying every-ware, but these machines have become almost ridiculously cheap. If you buy a coffee machine such as this you'll think you've got a real bargin, but you'll soon see that the cost of the pods is where the companies really make their money - it's commonly called the Razor and ... more

    4 Stars My Pretty Blue Waker-upper! Review with images 05/05/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Makes lovely coffee, easy to use, also can make tea

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Getting pods not easy, coffee/tea isn't extremely hot

    I love coffee. I own a lovely coffee maker that makes filter coffee. Over the weekend, we can make several pots of coffee and find that it's not enough for us. We also go through jars and jars of instant coffee (we buy Nescafe's, Taster's Choice). When my sister-in-law realized this and wanted to buy us a 25th wedding anniversary present, she decided that it was time we got a "real" coffee machine. That is why she bought us a Senseo coffee/tea maker by Philips, and we love it. Here is why. First of all, this is as simple as can be to use. You simply fill it up with water reserve (if it isn't ... more

    2 Stars Awful, but stylish coffee. 24/03/2006
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Can't really think of any

    Disadvantages Disadvantages It makes bad coffee

    I should warn you all now that I am a coffee crazed madman and that this device was a birthday gift. Looking at this device you can get some information about the quality of coffee it will produce quite easily before you try its coffee. Producing coffee at a of pressure of 10bar (10 times atmospheric pressure) is rather low for an espresso machine. This means that it will produce less rounded coffee that relies on the brute force of its overall flavour to carry it though. As it happen it does produce less well rounded coffee than the 19bar machine I also own, in comparison the espresso is ... more
