For me, the machines don't last too long, the coffee pods are pricy, and their is a limited selection on the coffee that is available. This is fairly easy to operate. Another drawback of this machine is you are really limited in the brands of coffee that you can use for this machine.
It isn't inexpensive, pods on average run from 25 cents to 50 cents a cup. I would urge anyone considering this type of coffee maker to keep these drawbacks in mind. I have purchased 3 of these in the last five years. I like the crema, the foamy head on top of my coffee. It makes wonderful coffee. This may be a problem with the water I use, but I do get spring water delivery, but I can't say why this has happened multiple times.
The coffee that is made is very tasty, it is smooth, and creamy. Primarily the Senseo brand is the most available, but I have purchased Folgers as well, but you can find a coffee you want to try and use it in this machine. The Keuring single cup machines do sell a device where you can use your own coffee. I have mixed feelings towards this machine. For me personally, I used this coffee machine once a day every day. Their coffee maker fails to make the crema that makes coffee from the Senseo maker so good. This makes a delightful mild cup of coffee.
I feel this is a major drawback. All three broke in a similar manner, the water will eventually just leak out the bottom and it won't make any coffee. Regular filter coffee is much less expensive, but it does not have the crema, nor the smooth taste this coffee does. But I purchased three of these in the last five years because the pots break.
great for 1-2 cups in a hurry- Price is great considering one can spend 5 times on a machine that will make the same cup of coffee
it is not worth the money, and the coffee is not even pleasant to drink.It is easy to use though. I do not like extremely strong coffee -- I always add milk and sugar -- but this coffee was too bland, even for me.I don't know how this coffee maker has a 4-star review. That's the only benefit. I got this coffee maker for Christmas, as I am a college student who lives by herself. I was excited to use it, but I found the coffee to be absolutely flavorless and bland.
Two pod holders, one deeper than the other, but doesn't work with expresso pods with smaller diameter - comes out like water. Water tank is fairly small. Decent coffee. Lots of (maybe too much) foam on top.
It is hard to figure out the packaging from the sketchy info given. I hope the brand succeeds so pods are available at discount stores. The coffee made using the Senseo has excellent flavor. Otherwise this is winner. It would help if the detail on the pods said simply 18 pods per package, six packages per box. My particular situation is that I usually only have a couple cups per day and it suites that purpose very well. The only criicism I have is the marketing of the coffee pods.
