Original Senseo Coffee Machine 7810

I bought my Senseo coffee maker just a few months ago, and I wouldn't say that it makes the worst cup of coffee that I've ever had, but then again it isn't close to the best.

I choose it because I loved the bright blue color it came in ( it comes in several colors and I think stainless steel as well), thinking it would look so good in my kitchen. And it does look good- it's a sleek, modern looking machine.
The biggest drawback to me is the cost of operating it. The pods are expensive and to make a normal size mug of coffee you have to double them up.

This is easy to do, the machine has an option for this. My tallish mug just barely fits under the spout, I have a few bigger cups that just won't fit under the machine.

I have been told there is a fill it yourself pod system you can buy and I think I will check into that, though it does seem to defeat the purpose of the machine!

The pods are limited in the flavors they come in too, lots of different roasts, but if you're a flavored coffee fiend, you will be disappointed. There will be no amaretto coffee for you!

I want to try the espresso pods, haven't yet, because I do like to use this machine when I have friends over- it's quick and fun to use, and it puts a nice little bit of frothiness on each serving.

Basically I like my senseo, but for everyday use, I usually stick with my tried and true french press!
