Advantages: So easy to use ! Great coffee in a matter of seconds !
Disadvantages: Limited variety of pods in the UK.

...Calling all coffee lovers ! If you want all the convenience of real coffee but in kettle-boiling time then the Senseo may just be for you. We got our Senseo machine as a wedding gift, not really knowing what to expect. We wanted a coffee-maker that would give us great tasting coffee at home, but without the fuss of dismantling a machine every time we wanted a fresh cup. We're also impatient and didn't want to have to wait for our caffeine fix. The Senseo has been fantastic !! How it works The Senseo has an easy fill water tank at the back which you fill to the required level with cold water - clearly marked so no mistakes ! You open the lid and pop in 1 or 2 coffee pods depending on how may cups you're making. You stick your cup or cups underneath the spout and press a button. The water in the tank heats up in a matter... Read review

Advantages: Simple to use, very little mess
Disadvantages: Pods can be expensive. Water can collect under the machine

...Firstly I have to say why I got a Senseo and that will lead to another review and also point to the fact that, possibly, I did not do enough research into the "Coffee machines" market before I got this one, but having had a traditional filter coffee machine and a cafetiere I needed to move up a league. I first experienced the Senseo whilst staying at Center Parcs in Holland. The machine was installed in every kitchen in the self-catering apartments and villas and the pods were very cheap (about 1 euro) in the on-site store. There were several "sample" packs available and we tried them all before settling on the strongest available. The Senseo cups were just the right size and took the "double" cup serving easily. Having returned to the UK my birthday occurred and my wife bought me the Senseo machine, together with several packs... 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. The coffee comes out hot, but not boiling (my mum was never impressed with it when she came over as she likes her coffees scolding). I have occasionally had trouble with leaks, but not very often. 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... Read review

Advantages: Easy to use, great coffee
Disadvantages: Pods quite pricey

...We got one of the Senseo coffeee makers for Christmas which didn't excite me as I'm a little sceptical of machines like this ever since I had a sodastream many years ago. Anyway, my wife unpacked it and made the first cup of coffee which looked too frothy but tasted absolutely fantastic. I was hooked from that moment. It's so easy to use, just fill the removable water reservoir, pop in a coffee pod, switch on and pour. There is a small or large cup option but I find that we need to use the large cup option to fill a normal mug. Senseo recommend that you use 2 pods for the large cup but we don't and the strength is just right. You can buy either medium or dark roast Senseo pods which costa round £2.20 for 18 pods - quite pricey but only if you drink loads of the stuff. The problem is that the coffee tastes so good that you end up... Read review

Advantages: Quick and easy to use
Disadvantages: a bit expensive

...After much discussion and many advertisements watched ! we decided to purchase a Philips Senseo Coffee Maker and boy do we wish we had sooner. Great tasting coffee in 90 seconds. A machine so easy to clean. The great smell of fresh coffee being made. For a coffee addict like myself this is the ideal present,a bit more expensive than other coffee machines but well worth it. The coffee pods supplied with it didn't last long and we did have some trouble finding more(eventually tracked some down in Tescos!!). possibly they aren't widely available in Scotland yet! Friends and relatives have all commented on the delicious coffee they have sampled here-no complaints either.! So easy to use -especially when requiring a cup of coffee in the morning when not quite awake! Why pay coffee shop prices when you can enjoy the same quality coffee... Read review
