5.0 out of 5 stars Handy., July 14, 2004

Our Senseo came from Sam's and was packaged with one of these, but I imagine that if I had bought a model without it, we would have eventually bought one. As the directions suggest, we run a cup of water (no pod) through the Senseo when we first start it to get the parts warm and make the coffee come out hotter. It doesn't take long to run through a standard-sized tank of water if you're doing that each time you fire up the machine. The larger reservoir means fewer refillings, about once a day for us instead of two a day.

The downside is that it does make the machine about 3-4" deeper than it would be otherwise, and make it not quite as sleek-looking. It's still very snazzy, though, and I think the convenience is worth a few inches of countertop space.

added 11/30/04: It looks like the Sam's in my area will no longer be stocking the Senseo OR its coffee pods. It's all been relegated to the clearance corner...

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Nice Product, August 24, 2005

I've been using "Extra Large Water Tank" for several months now, and I have to admit, it is convenient.

I use bottled water, so trying to fill the standard tank was an exercise in agility and coordination. The advantage of the larger tank, over standard, besides doubling the capacity, is that it stands on it's own on the counter. It's just a matter of opening the lid, and filling up the tank. The standard tank required balancing with one hand, while the other hand is maneuvering the water bottle.

In the beginning, I was a little skeptical about this product. For it's size, it is light, and felt a little flimsy. But, it has endured several months of daily use and, I no longer think of it as being fragile.

By the way, this product was a gift from my sister, and a very thoughtful gift indeed. I couldn't thank her enough.

Senseo rocks! The big tank is a bit of an extravagence in the sense that whether you are using the big tank or the small one, the coffee tastes the same. That said, being able to fill the tank every three or four days rather than each day is probably worth the $20.

12/13/05 Update: Still loving Senseo and still loving the tank. Without it, I suspect even average users will find that they have to refill the tank every one to two days (not a big deal in the abstract but when you're rushing out the door to get to work in the mornings, it's nice to minimize the "doh!" moments).
