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: makes a lovely hot cuppa quickly and easily
Disadvantages: NO HOT CHOCOLATE!

This product is ideal for anyone who enjoys a nice cup of coffee now and then. The Senseo has many different types of coffee that can be brought from any local supermarket for as little as £3. When I first brought this product I wondered if it would be any good as some of its competitors in the market are almost double the price. I was however extremey pleased with the coffee maker over all it brews a nice cup of coffee. Unlike other coffee makers ...

Advantages: Easy to use, easy to clean, reliable
Disadvantages: None

Over the years I have had quite a few coffee machines of various types and makes. This one I would recommend to anyone - unreservedly. It is good looking, simple to use, easy to clean and unlike some is as reliable as any and much better than most. The biggest, and in my view the only, problem is getting pods and this is hardly Phillips' fault. Use is simple. Make sure the water container is full - it removes and re-assembles easily. Make sure you ...

Advantages: ease of use, consistent quality, easy to clean
Disadvantages: cost of coffee pods

We have had a Senseo coffee maker in our office for more than 6 months now, and it has out-performed any coffee machine we have previously had. The main advantage are: 1. The neatness of the pod system - no mess, really easy to clean 2. Consistency of the quality of coffee it produces. 3. Range of coffe flavours available To be frank, this unit is designed for domestic use, not for an office environment, however our Senseo coffee-maker must produce ...
...woking day and performs to the same level today as it did when it was new. I enjoy the standard coffee pods on a very regular basis, but some of the special flavours are definately worth investing in. My personal recommendation is 'Sydney' (but only if you like a hint of vanllia) ... Read review
