Douwe Egberts makes some of the most delicious European coffee. When the Senseo Single Serve Coffee Maker was created, these single use, disposable coffee 'pods' fit together like hand in glove. 5,000,000 European coffee lovers cannot be wrong...Senseo Douwe Egberts is outstanding, fresh tasting coffee, and each imported 4 pack, (72 Single-Serve pods), comes attractively packaged in a resealable pouch.

Medium roast is apt to be a particular favorite for American coffee tastes. It has a rich, full-bodied flavor, neither bitter nor astringent. The Senseo coffee machine can make 1 4 oz cup, 2 4 oz cups, or a single 8 oz cup at a time. The self-contained pods use a tea bag filter-type paper and are approximately 2" in diameter.

Right now, the price averages 25 cents per 4 ounce cup. The Senseo makes it with a bit of frothe on the top, and this medium roast coffee is fine straight up, or try it with a little sweetner and a dollop of Hazelnut creamer as I do.

I do envision the price point coming down a bit, as the Senseo system becomes the US equivalent of the European sensation. Douwe Egberts recommends using your pods within 2 weeks, however, I've had good luck storing the extras in the freezer section of my refrigerator with no dicernable flavor change.

I've had my Senseo for about 2 months and love it. I'm the only coffee drinker in my family so making a pot of coffee is a waste for me. This is quick and easy and great tasting. Pods are expensive at the grocery store but can be found other places cheaper. Folgers is coming out with a competing machine and pods so the price of the pods should go down soon.

Just got my Senseo yesterday. It is the greatest thing since sliced bread. just pop in the pod press a button and you've got a great cup of coffee in 30 seconds. Perfect for this busy New Yorker that is always on the run!! =)

Why would I spend five bucks per latte (and take my chances with the barista's skills) when I can make my own cup of foamy happiness in less than a minute, and for so much less? Answer: I wouldn't. At least not any longer. The Medium Roast coffee pods will satisfy you whether you drink it black or take it "regular" (with milk & perhaps sugar). I like to use one Medium pod and one Dark Roast pod for my first cup in the morning...it makes a nice, fragrant cup that packs a jolt. I'd highly recommend buying a few bags of the Medium Roast and the Dark Roast at the same time. If you're like me, you won't want to run out-your mornings just wouldn't be the same without your Senseo.

This coffee machine is probably the best coffee maker I've ever used, so long as you use their coffee pods. I purchased mine from Target...what a disaster since they don't keep consistent stock of the recommended coffee pods for this coffee maker. I now purchase my pods from Amazon...they are dependable, in-stock and tax free.

I've tried many different brands of Pod coffee, and the Senseo Brand is the best. The froth is frothier, the flavor is rich and full bodied. It's a little on the strong side, but that's fine with me, and the price is reasonable.I love the Senseo coffee maker. One fresh frothy cup at a time. The runner up is Yuban, but it's hard to find.

Ok, so my cousin stole his mom's idea for a Xmas gift for me in 2004. I had lived with a bunch of roomies at the time, where drama ensued whenever someone used the wrong coffeemaker... out of the three on our teeny counter... Now that I am living in my itty bitty studio, I make my senseo coffee every morning. Great taste, nice foam. MMMMMMMM. Now be aware that if you want to fill a mug, you need to use 2 of these pods at the same time. So if you have a big ol' cup o joe in the morn, divide the total pods in the package by 2 to see how long it will last you. I bought them in bulk because they are not as easy to find locally. But I am really glad I did. Enjoy!

I have used the senseo machine for over a year along with the Douwe Egberts pods. I have tried others like from Java one but I must admit that Douwe Egberts are the best bet for the machine both from a nice fit and taste. Every morning I wake up and look forward for an exciting frothy coffee from senseo. What was I doing all these years with other coffee drippers? Simply a waste of time, material and not so good coffee !
Also I want to mention that I had quite a bit of difficulty fitting coffee pods from Java one with Senseo machine. But pods from Douwe Egberts work like charm and are the perfect fit for the machine.
Cannot wait to drink that fresh true coffee again !

I have used a Senseo Home Brew Coffee machine now for over 6 months. This makes, without a doubt, the best coffee I have ever had. Honestly, I find myself hording the genuine senseo pods for myself and using Starbucks coffee in an adaptor for most guests :).

Now as I am typing this reiew I am drinking a cup of the medium roast. It is full bodied without and after bite. The froth that is generated while making the coffee is 1/2" to 3/4" thick. I have found that using other pods decreases not only the froth, but often leaves a slightly sour after taste (many of the Java pods do this for me).

You simply can't go wrong with any of the Senseo Pods. Truely, an amazing cup of coffee....does wonders for your roses as well! I ripped open used pods and spread the grounds on my Roses tree...It went from near leafless state to one covered in Roses within a week and a 1/2!

I switch between the dark roast and medium roast. I think that both make a great cup of coffee. This is definately the easiest system to use and really makes cleanup a snap.
