Philips HD 7810/60/61/69 Senseo Black

Advantages: Easy to clean, quick to heat-up and pleasing design
Disadvantages: Small height available for mugs, limited availability of blends in some supermarkets

This is a great low-cost instant coffee machine. I really enjoy using it and over the last few months have noticed a bigger range of pods becoming available, with Tesco even offering their own-branded ones. The taste is very good but the height of the machine means only medium to small cups can be accommodated. I bought some Jamie Oliver 'Snug Mugs' as these were the perfect size for the coffee delivered. The machine is very easy to keep clean too ...
...You can leave the water in the machine for up to three days before having to replace it. I find on a full 'tank' I get four cups of coffee. The Cappucinno is very good but again watch the size of mug used given the small height available. The machine is quick to heat up too so you'll be enjoying great tasting coffee in no time! But if you are very serious about your coffee, you really need to be spending a lot more on a more advanced machine. This ... Read review

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: Fast and easy to use, hardly any cleaning
Disadvantages: Pods slightly expensive - you wont be able to resist making another cup

The Phillips Senseo is compact, fast and easy to use. One of the main benefits over some similar products, is that you can make 2 cups of coffee at the same time, rather than having to carry out a cup at a time to waiting dinner guests. Cleaning the machine is childs play and it sits neatly on the worksurface, never accumulating dust as its so regulary used. I honestly didn't think Id use it as often as I do, nor that visitors would actually ask ... Read review

At first i wasn't a coffee drinker until now! I first tasted senseo coffee when i was in france where a family member introduced me to this. Ever since then I brought myself one, the best is the cappuccino mix. The coffee pods maybe a little expensive, but I get hold of mine in france where its cheaper. Its very easy to use and clean.
