The system isn't without its flaws. First, it's not suited for large families or heavy coffee drinkers, unless you want to spend five times the amount on your coffee. Second, it's not an espresso maker - it uses a light pressure to brew coffee, but doesn't create the thick froth called crema that you get from an espresso.

The spout's size is so small that it's difficult to pour coffee into the regular cup. If you're willing to make the compromise it's a great coffee machine. It's simple to use, and produces a an excellent cup of coffee every time.

Features

This is a great little machine. It's simple to use, and it makes coffee quickly. Turn it on, wait until the red light ceases to flash, insert a pod, press one or more cups and the machine will do the rest. In just 30 seconds it has made a good cup of coffee that is decent and the spout can be adjusted to accommodate any size mug.

The system is made up of specially designed Douwe Egberts coffee pods (called pads in certain countries). The pods are filled with a blend of instant coffee and finely ground, roasted beans. They are sealed inside an airtight envelope. The pods can be brewed in a brief time while retaining the full aroma and flavor of the coffee.

All Senseo machines utilize the same fast brewing method However, you can choose from three different latte varieties: cappuccino or cafe latte. Each variant can be made with foam or without milk, and you can have the choice of regular or extra strong decaffeinated coffee.

The machine is small and has a modern design. It's a great fit on your counter and won't make your Subzero refrigerator or Viking range look shabby. It is also very energy-efficient and takes less than a second to prepare just one or two cups. It can be programmed so that it shuts off automatically.

It also comes with a one-year limited warranty. It is easy to clean, with just the occasional rinsing of the water tank and the spout. The drip tray and coffee pad holder are also able to be rinsed and the exterior of the machine is easily cleaned.

The Senseo system's biggest disadvantage is that it can only make one or two 8-ounce cups at a time. This isn't suitable for large families as well as heavy drinkers. Also, it's not for people who prefer their coffee in a standard mug, because it can't accommodate them.

Conclusions

Senseo is a fantastic coffee pod maker for anyone who wants to save time and effort. It is easy to use and clean and can make a great cup of coffee in a short time. The coffee is delicious and the crema created at the top of the cup is a nice bonus. The drawback of this machine is that the pods are expensive but you can find more affordable alternatives.

After the brewing cycle is completed the coffee machine will shut itself off automatically. This helps save energy and money, and also ensures that the machine is kept in good working order. It's also an green option than an espresso maker because it uses less steam and water.

The machine is compatible with Douwe Egberts' Senseo capsules, which contain an airtight, foil-based system that produces a thick layer of crema on top of the coffee. The coffee is a blend of Arabica beans that are guaranteed to be full-flavored.

The Senseo machine can produce three different types of coffee using foam milk, cappuccino, cafe latte, and macchiato latte. These coffees are not true cappuccinos, however, as the Senseo system uses only the pressure of a light to brew the coffee and doesn't produce genuine espresso. The coffee is still delicious and you will save time and effort. You also won't need a separate milk frother.
