This coffee maker is wonderful.  Pods are easily available, and not extremely expensive.  Can make as strong or as mild as you like.  Quick, easy, and delicious coffee.  Works quickly, makes one fresh cup at a time.  Various flavors of coffee are easily obtainable. … read full review »

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… read full 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… read full review »

I receieved my Senseo pod coffee machine through a promotion and got it for the cost of shipping only.  I was hesitant to try out a new coffee maker and thought the use of a coffee "pod" was silly.  I didn't see myself needing or desiring a single cup brewer.  I figure for the cost of only shipping, being the coffee fanatic that I am, I'd give it a try. — I am SO glad I did!  I use my Senseo almost every day.  It is perfect for that quick fresh brewed cup.  This works out so well for my husband and I.  He gets up much earlier than I do and normally,… read full review »

I got my Senseo through a promotion on www.sharesenseo.com. I paid $15 for the machine, a pack of coffee pods, and coupons/pamphlets to share with friends. (Hence, the "share" part of the web address.) — — I was skeptical at first because I didn't know how practical it would be for my husband and I. However, we quickly grew accustomed to being able to make a quick cup of coffee each morning before work. — — You simply fill the reservoir with water, put the pod in the holder, turn the machine on to heat the water and hit the button for one small cup (espresso sized)… read full review »

I received my Senseo Coffee Pot free a couple years ago during a promotion that Senseo was giving out. (They still have these promotions but often you have to pay fifteen dollars for shipping now.) Anyway, I took my pot home and tried it out and loved it! The coffee is fairly good and it makes the best foam ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love the fact that it makes an individual cup of coffee one at a time and that it is very quick. I also love the fact that I can purchase the coffee at the grocery store (unlike Flavia which has to be purchased online) because sometimes I run out and don't want to… read full review »

I got this machine for free! —  Two years ago, the co. was runing a promotion to get people to switch from their old drip-style coffee makers to this sleek ultra-modern machine. — I decided that I wanted to try it. When it came in the mail, I tried it right away just to see how it works and what the coffee tastes like. It was fantastic!! —  It makes either two normal size cups or one large mug. You need two pods to make enough coffee for a mug though. Comes with two different size pod holders - one for one cup of coffee and one for two-pod use. Comes in red,… read full review »

The most coffee I need on weekday mornings is one cup, just for me.  Some weekends when I have guests I need more.   I hate, hate, hate waste!  And the first thing I noticed about the Phillips Senseo was that I never have to throw coffee out!  AND, it doesn't sit there in the pot and get old.  The coffee is great.  Nice foam and flavor.  I don't think it's that noisy, and the only time it ever leaked was when I forgot to pop the top down completely!!  AND, I can find the pods in most stores now, for a good price.  The ONLY thing I don't like… read full review »

The Philips Senseo is a great coffee maker, if you have one or two coffee drinkers in the house. But if you have more than that, you should not get this coffee maker. This coffee maker makes one or two cups at a time. The coffee is smooth and frothy, almost like a capuchino. The coffee tastes fresh everytime. Although it does have it's set backs. For instance, the coffee maker is a little noisy. The cup jiggles a little when it is pouring the coffee into the cup. My friend has the same coffee maker and she said that her's leaked. But it never happened to me. Other than that I would say that… read full review »

I like the way that this coffee maker makes a cup of coffee using the pods because there is no messy coffee grounds to worry about. The coffee pods come in a lot of different varieties and that is great. What I do not like about the coffee maker is the price of the machine is a bit steep and the pods are a little high priced also. My main complaint is that it makes a 4 oz cup of coffee per pod and i do not know anyone that drinks only 4 oz at a time. I prefer my coffee in a mug so the other option is to use 2 pods and the 8 oz setting. You can go through a lot of pods this way and that… read full review »

I love this coffee maker. May not be practical for large groups, but a real treat for a single cup serving. The coffee is fresh, the strength is adjustable and the foam on top is wonderful. — The pods are a bit pricey, but much cheaper than a coffee shop.  It is easy to use.  The modern shape looks nice on the counter top.  I have found that I prefer to use the 2-cup setting with a single pod to make the strength a bit weaker.   I  received mine as a promotional deal, so that may color my opinion some.  I do think the unit is rather expensive, but… read full review »

I drink coffee for hours in the morning and also several hours at night.  I have a tendency to be doing work, or other things like cleaning and tend to leave a regular coffee pot on for hours.  I used to have stale, old coffee that had been sitting in the pot for hours.  I wasted more coffee than I drank.  What a waste of money.  With my Senseo coffee maker. i can make a fresh, hot cup of coffee whenever I want.  It is fast and easy and every cup is delicious and frothy and exactly like the cup I had before.  As a coffee lover.  This is the… read full review »

I got mine through the Senseo program also and for $15, it was a great investment.  My husband and I aren't everyday coffee drinkers so this is perfect for us.  he wakes up early and he can make his own cup and if I wake up later, I can still have a fresh cup.  Yes, it is noisy but I can handle the sound for a few seconds.  I have had the leaking problem but just once or twice and it's never a bad leak at all.  —  The pods ARE expensive.  I wouldn't recommend this for the heavy coffee drinker since you can easily go through a pack of pods per… read full review »

We purchased the Senseo online on a whim and WOW were we impressed.  This machine while a bit noisy makes the best cup of coffee I've ever had, and with the different pods you can choose from several different strengths and flavors.  We only use one pod to make two cups of coffee otherwise it's entirely too strong and I add my creamer and sugar before brewing to coffee into the cup, it just seems to work better that… read full review »
