Do any of you use a Senseo brand coffee maker?

Question

The kind that uses the coffee pods, and makes one cup at a time?
My sister in law thinks they are fantastic, and has one at home and one at work- she thinks they are the greatest invention since sliced bread. I think they are very expensive and over-rated.
Anyone really love them?

Answer 1

I got one last year, I love it! I am a single guy so the one cup at a time brewing method is great for me.
I find that it brews a smoother cup of java compared to regular drip coffee makers.
The coffee pods are a little on the expensive side, but I don't mind spending a little more for a better end product.
The unit it's self was a little pricey, but I really do think it was worth it.
The way I see it, If you are a coffee lover, it's worth it to pay a little more for this unit, even with it's high price, it still ends up costing less than buying coffee from places like Starbucks, or other coffee houses. (By the way, I really don't like Starbucks. I find their coffees to be really over-rated, and very over-priced)

Answer 2

I'm in the same boat as you. I really think that they are a little overrated and overpriced. There is only a limited number of products that you are able to use with it (but in fairness, it's a growing number) and it's probably best for 1 or 2 people. I could see it being an issue if you have many guests or if you ar elike me and you enjoy maybe 2 cups of coffee every morning. They do work really quickly though.

Answer 3

i got one for free as a promotion from senseo. i love it! it's easy & convenient since there are only 2 of us at my house.
