Morning coffee, afternoon coffee, evening coffee.. it doesn't matter when you drink it, but when you demand good coffee, you want to rely on the coffee maker to come through. When I first purchased the Senseo , I was thrilled. I had my first pod coffee maker. Since I am the only one in the family that drinks it, it was important to have a one cup maker. I loved the ideas of pods, different flavors for my many different moods. But since day one, the Senseo has been tempermental. Some days it will work great, others it will leak and just generally not work. It is overall very noisy and tends to bounce my coffee cup around. I have followed all instructions, even contacting the company but to no avail.

My advice- Skip the Senseo! There are better models out there that are more versatile and just plain make a better cup of coffee...

Mine started acting wacky also. I contacted the company and they sent me a new one! So far so good!

Thanks for the review, and the heads-up. The coffee maker has an interesting design, too bad it can't be relied on to make a cup or two of coffee.
