I've tried many different pods available for my Senseo. Every one had no flavor. Aloha Island's coffee pods saved my Senseo machine from the trash. Their pods should be the ones sold w/the machine as Senseo's coffee tastes like instant. If you want the taste you expect w/your one cup machine, use Aloha Island Coffee. I promise you, this is coffee !!!!

Wow! This coffee is so much better than the Senseo Dark Roast I've been using in my Senseo. It's not even a fair comparison. My only semi-gripe is that my Senseo machine doesn't seem to understand how much water to squirt out over the pod, which is meant to be used as a single in the double pod holder. I have ended up using the two cup button once, then using the same pod and cup, the one cup botton. That gives me ALMOST a decent sized mug of coffee.

The coffee that my Senseo coffee machine made never got beyond tasting plasticy and metallic, even though I rinsed the unit as directed when I first got it, and followed all procedures. I had to give up on it and get a Cuisinart, which I love. However, the flavor that emerged from these Kona pods, as far as I could tell (beyond the mask of the plastic), was rich and good. Not smooth, because nothing tasted smooth with the Senseo, but as flavorful as I could get. To use a cliché, I wouldn't throw out the baby with the bath water. If your Senseo works and doesn't make coffee that tastes metallic or plasticy, you might really love this coffee. I thought it had real potential, and I don't blame the coffeemakers for what the machine did to the product.

The small "pods" are wrapped in foil, so you can throw them into a backpack! Tastes pretty good for "camping" coffee! ha ha!

With the Senseo Pod Machine I knew I was close to a great cup of coffee. The search was on for the perfect pod supply source. Having purchased 100% Kona beans from the islands I started there. Kona is good. Then I saw an add for Cool Beans. I sent for their sampler. Tried them all and knew I had found what I had been searching for. A large cup from a single pod holder - 10 full oz. of great coffee. Needed to press pod firmly into single pod holder and dent the middle - but the results are worth the slight effort.RE
