Quoted message said:Welp, someone gave me the Senseo coffee pod system for Christmas. My first
thoughts after pulling the machine out of the box - it's very well made.
No flimsy parts to speak of. The stock resevoir holds enough water for
about 4 (8 ounce) cups of coffee. 8 ounces takes 2 pods so the coffee
definitely isn't cheap. But the convenience is more than worth it as there
is NO mess. You simply toss the pod in the trash and you're good for
another cup. No need to wipe a thing down. Now for the taste. With the
Senseo brand pods that came with the unit, it produced a coffee that was
definitely better than my parents fairly expensive 12 Cup Bunn drip
machine but no where near the body of a press pot. (But my parents also
use preground folgers [yuck]). I'm hoping with better quality pods the
unit will produce a bolder cup of joe. So in summary - if you're used to
the fairly mild office coffee and need a machine that is quick and
virtually mess free, then I do recommend the unit.
Don't laugh -- the best pot of coffee I ever had was when the soft drink 7
Up was used instead of water. Carbonated coffee may sound weird, but it is
outstanding. Thanks for the post, for it reminded me of this. I believe I'll
try some again tomorrow.
