Everyone I know that uses a pod brewer at home or work loves it. Fresh coffee made to order, endless variety, no waste, etc. It is a shame that so many settle for the coffee pods made by big commerical roasters like Melitta and Douwe Egberts. The blends used by these big companies are bland and boring compared to all the great coffees offered by smaller roasters. Having had the opportunity to taste a variety of pods, I hope the list below of my favorites is helpful. Many of these are also much better coffee at a lower price! Many of the pods listed below are around 30¢ per pod, while the Senseo pods are over 31¢. All the specialty coffee pods below are also individually wrapped for freshness too.

I hope the list above is helpful in getting the most from your Senseo!

These pods deliver very weak tasting coffee. They include about 1/2 as much coffee as other pods you'll find on the market. When shopping for pods, always check the weight in addition to the pod count. If you like a stronger brew, I suggest the Melitta pods, they also come individually wrapped for freshness and flavor.

Philips Senseo Coffeemaker - Red
My daughter got the Senseo for me. I love the coffeemaker. The right there when you need it is great. How ever, I find the coffee selection is not that great, at the store or online. Why don't they have unique blends like Peppermint, pumpkin,(seasonal blends), or Chocolate coffee, rasberry (I'm leaning toward the Millstone blends here)? And where is the selection of teas and hot chocos? I find that the Keurig has a larger selection of all kinds. Wish I had ask for that one instead as I don't see Senseo going as far in selection as Keurig has. Really too bad.

this doesn't taste like hazelnut at all, it's probably the less favorable of the senseo coffees. No matter how much sugar and creamer I put in it, it still tastes like bitter coffee. It's definitely not hazelnut.

After receiving a subscription to this coffee for several months, I finally realized how truly mediocre this the coffee was. So I cancelled my subscription. And canceled it. And canceled it! But cancellation didn't take effect. Amazon kept sending this junk!

And, I can't find a customer service number anywhere. And the garbage can't be returned.

FINALLY, it shows as canceled as of Dec 23!!!!

Do yourself a favor and get some good coffee from a reputable vendor. Do NOT buy this coffee and do NOT trust Amazon's subscription service. It's a rip off.

I now have $33 worth of garbage coffee that will be thrown in the trash!!!!

If the idiots at Amazon screw up one more time, I'm going to terminate not just my Prime account, but my complete account. I haven't the time for this idiocy!
