I recently bought a Senseo machine and the Douwe Egberts Coffee pods. The pods make a full-flavored decaf that is very enjoyable. I agree the medium roast and mild roast are weak sisters compared to the dark roast.

Medium is what several of my guests prefer, however. I use the dark for myself and they all make a very good cuppa joe. MUCH better than my drip machine, and a lot easier to use than my espresso maker.

I was so skeptical of this product that I had to write a review for the rest of the skeptics. This is a fabulous way to get a european coffee experience at home. I'm not a huge fan of Starbucks, I find their coffee too bitter, but like everyone else I truck over there spending close to $4.00 a cup on a specialty latte. This is different. This is like the coffee I had every morning in Provence. It has great flavor and the frothy top is something you could never get with your regular coffee maker. I love that I can do one cup at a time, so my coffee isn't sitting on the warming plate losing its flavor until I'm ready for another cup. It froths itself, so you don't have to deal with complicated and hard to clean steaming mechanisms. It takes a minute to boil the water and then less than 30 seconds to fill the cup, which is much quicker than making regular coffee. It is easy to put together, take apart and clean; in fact, when I was comparing the similar-looking Mr. Coffee and Black and Decker brands in the store I couldn't get those two models back together after I looked at the pod holder, which cinched the decision for me on the Senseo (which has a very simple press-down locking mechanism). I'm so glad!!! I haven't tried the dark roast yet, but we love the medium and the decaf, and the mild is nice for afternoon. I was worried about the cost of the pods until I realized that a bag of 18 is under $4.00, which is like 22 cents a pod. When I balance that against $1.00-$4.00 a cup to get anything remotely similar from a coffeehouse, it seems like the bargain of the century. And I don't have to change out of my pjs! If you are a coffee lover I highly recommend this wonderful, unique machine.

After a weekend of having my new Senseo coffee maker I can report that it is a delight. I certainly do not consider myself a connoisseur of coffee, but spending on average $30 a week at Starbucks makes me at least an average coffee consumer. To agree with other reviewers, the taste is not comparable to a freshly-made Starbucks. The Senseo is what it is-a home coffee maker under $70. Starbucks not only controls every element of the process, but uses significantly more sophisticated equipment. Importantly, the Senseo is worth the money. As a work-at-home businessperson I enjoy having a fresh cup on my desk. The frothy result of the Senseo simulates a latte when you add hot milk to the final cup of coffee. (Never put milk in the Senseo!) The dark roast is my favorite, but I find that I have to switch to the medium roast decaf after the first cup to keep from bouncing off the walls. As I said, it will not equally substitue for a fresh Starbucks, but it is fast, enjoyable and easy to use. If the cost of the pods is not an issue then it makes perfect sense.

I must respectfully disagree with the other reviewer. The Medium Roast coffee I received with my Senseo produces a teriffic cup of coffee. For a coffee shop like taste, go with the dark roast, but the Medium Roast is perfect for an every day morning blend.

This is amazing coffee, you need the machine about $50 to make a good tasting cup of coffee with a nice foam to top it off. I have this coffee, morning and evening, no problems since it is Decaf. buy it yourselves and enjoy a great tasting cup of coffee as good or even better than a coffee cup from a coffee specialty store.

Does not have a hint that it is decaffeinated. The flavor is great coffee.

It is so easy and fast to make Senseo coffee and the decaff is just as rich in taste as the regular coffee. A reat cup every time!!

I have had my Senseo for a little over a week. I agree with most of the other reviewers, that it is the best coffee I have made at home. I enjoy having several mugs of coffee in the morning, but want to cut back on the caffeine. I have found that using one pod of medium roast (or dark roast) and one pod of medium roast Decaf together works really well for an 8 oz mug of great tasting coffee.

the coffee is delicious, however i wish seneco would make flavor decaffeinated coffee. it is also a little costly compare to the coffee you get in the can or pack. but the coffee is always fresh per cup.

These are by far the best coffee pods! In my part of the world, I'm saving approximately $5.00 by purchasing them via Amazon.
