We purchased a Senseo coffee machine shortly after my son "borrowed" my Bunn coffee maker in March with the promise to get his own as he strolled out the door. Since I was the only person in the household drinking coffee regularly anymore instead of buying another Bunn and wasting half a pot of coffee every time I made a fresh pot of coffee, I thought I should at least look at the single cup coffee makers. I then promptly set off on a mission to find the coffee that "rocked my boat" given the fact that I was a sworn dunkin donut coffee drinker for years.

I am not terribly fond of flavored coffees in general although they are nice to have on occassion, so I tried all of the Senseo coffees and eventually found that the Kenya Blend was the best of the lot given my individual taste for coffees.

And then they came out with the breakfast blend. This makes a superb cup of coffee and it has effectively ended my murmurings for Dunkin Donut to get on board with Senseo and make a pod coffee just for the Senseo. Well ... maybe that is a slight exaggeration. I would still like Dunkin Donuts to team with Senseo and make a pod coffee but that only because I would like to have two superb coffee pods to chose from with one being the Senseo Breakfast Blend.

I've owned a Senseo machine for three or four years, and I generally like most of their coffees. This breakfast blend is particularly good.

Though I don't much like the pretentious phrasing one sees in reviews by experts, I can say that the breakfast blend is just a bit more robust than the ordinary medium roast, but a bit less than the dark roast. It's a great coffee to have with a breakfast roll while you're reading the paper.

I learned by experimenting that one breakfast blend pod and one decaf medium roast pod make a very good cup of "half-caf" for those who are prone to the caffeine jitters if they drink regular coffee.

In summary, the breakfast blend pods combine the convenience of the Senseo system with a very good morning coffee.

One bit of advice: If you use Amazon's "subscribe and save" system, you can save a considerable amount of money on Senseo pods. You get 15% off of the regular price and free shipping; the net savings on a 4-bag box of the breakfast blend is about $[...].

"Someone gave me a Senseo machine, so I bought this coffee. I'm very disappointed with the taste! It's bland and dull tasting. Too bad, as I have 4 bags now!"

This was my previous review. Since then, I gave away the Senseo machine, but I kept the coffee and use it in a cup of hot water I do in the microwave. The coffee is actually good. I guess somehow the machine flavored it. Maybe it's because the water doesn't sit in the coffee for long enough. Using my microwave method, I let the coffee bag brew awhile before pressing it and removing it -- very good taste. Go figure! Anyway, I'd recommend this coffee as microwavable bags.

My husband and I enjoyed the mellow, but full-bodied flavor of this coffee. It's good any time of the day. For those who like a smooth and more mellow coffee, this is a good choice.

I have very little choices of Senseo pods at our local grocery stores. I have been buying mine from Amazon because of all the choices. It is so easy and I get them right away.

My family loves this coffee. I enjoy the rich flavor and aroma. It is very convenient to get it once a month also.

(1) I LOVE MY HAMILTON BEACH ONE CUP BREWER. THE ONLY THING IS THE COMPANY SHOULD HAVE PUT THE VARITY PACK OF
SENSEO COFFEE PODS SO THE CUSTOMER CAN DESIDE THEIR FAVARATE ONE.

Some may find it a bit pricey if you calculate the cost by the pound but the quality and convenience is there. Senseo offers a variety of flavors and one standard decaf. They are packaged well and easy to use. For ease of use and taste I would stick with these. Also, they can be used in any single serve coffee maker that accepts pods.

I was happy to get the product I ordered right away. Service is excellent! Much easier than trying to find what I want in the local stores. And, I can modify the flavor, shipment schedule, etc. anytime I want. Couldn't be more pleased.

My husband and I have been using the Senseo coffee pods for many years now and the Breakfast Blend is one of our favorites to begin our day with. I subscribe to the monthly delivery program as our local stores are frequently out of stock or when they do have the pods, the price is much higher than Amazon's.
