Philips Senseo Espresso Machine Review

I do find this product to be handy and efficient. I bypass the pods and have an eco-pod so I can use my own coffee/espresso and that is not only more cost effective, but the coffee is even tastier too.

At first I thought the machine was slightly noisy but nowhere near as noisy as my espresso machine and it's for a few seconds so it's not an issue. Bottom line is the machine delivers excellent coffee, I'm not wasting an entire pot on just one coffee drinker in the house and I can still use my larger coffee maker for company. It's also great if you have a larger group of decaf drinkers and one or 2 regulars. NO need to brew 2 pots -- just use the Senseo for the 2 cups!

What's kept me from giving 5-stars is the output is not as hot as atraditional maker. That could be improved upon. It's also shaped a bit awkwardly. Other than that -- I love it and use it daily.
