 Warning: highly addictive! July 8, 2005

Senseo recently released several flavored varieties. Having always been partial to hazelnut coffee and being the happy owner of a Senseo coffee maker, I just had to give this new flavor a try. Well, let me tell you... I'm hooked! There is so much rich flavor in this coffee it's hard to believe the drink is calorie-free. It has the complex, subtle, thick texture and flavor of a fat- and carb-laden drink. If you've been worrying lately about the effects of your daily Caramel Macchiato on your waistline (not to mention your wallet) you have to give this coffee a try. It's wonderful and guilt-free! The pods are a little more expensive than regular varieties (the package is the same price but there are slightly fewer pods per bag) but boy is it worth that little extra!
This flavor was all I needed to decide me to buy a second Senseo machine for my office. It's very quiet and doesn't bother my cube neighbors, and it's already paid for itself because I no longer spend a fortune at the coffee shop for mediocre coffee: I have my "candy bar in a cup" (to quote Paula) right at my desk.
Senseo has a winner with this one... Give it a try!
 regrettably, no flavors besides weak and bitter December 3, 2005

Let me preface by saying that I'm not a high-end coffee snob. I don't grind my own beans, I don't use a french press, I don't automatically turn my nose up at mass market coffees, and I like my coffee from Dunkin' Donuts more than from Starbucks. I enjoy good coffee, whether it's dark roast, decaf, flavored, Colombian, whatever, and I drink a LOT of it.
I got a Senseo free as part of a promotion and I really like the machine. But the Senseo brand coffee is absolutely awful. I started with the medium roast pods included in the machine and found them weak and bitter. Thinking that maybe I got a bad batch and that the pod format was better suited for flavored coffees, I ordered the 64-packs of Vienna and Killarney from Amazon and got them a couple of days ago. I was astounded to find that both flavors are the same - weak, bitter, and, worst yet, lacking of any of their advertised flavoring. I'm drinking another cup of the Killarney right now as I write this, trying to find something good to say about it, but I am totally baffled by the very positive reviews this coffee has been getting. I honestly can't taste any Irish cream whatsoever, the coffee is unpleasantly bitter, and it leaves a nasty acidy aftertaste that still lingers in my mouth. I feel like a chump for having spent $15 on each of these huge pod packs, because they're now all going in the trash.
Obviously, everyone has different tastes and your mileage may vary. But, please, before you spend a single cent on this coffee (or any other Senseo-brand coffees, apparently), try getting a free taste of it from a friend or at a store. If your experience is anything like mine, you will take a sip, grimace, and wonder how anyone could possibly give this coffee anything but 1 star.
 Better tasting than the Dark Roast pods November 16, 2006

I loved the idea and ease of the Senseo, but I was never that crazy about the way the coffee tasted. The grocery stores do not offer much in the way of variety, so I decided to take a chance and order the Columbia Blend from Amazon. I have been very happy with the flavor of it compared to what I had been getting.
If you are up for a change and want a smoother flavor, but still a strong tasting coffee. Give it a try!
I will note that the bag only comes with 16 pods vs. 18 in the regular bags.

I absolutely love my Senseo, but the thing I had always been waiting for was options beyond Mild, Medium and Dark Roast coffee. Every now and then I need a different kick from my coffee and until now it wasn't a possibility.
The Vienna Hazelnut variety is quite good for hazelnut flavored coffee. My personal taste typically doesn't leave much room for liking nutty coffees. However, I am forced to make an exception for this one. It doesn't taste fake or cheap like many flavored coffees do. I prefer the other two varieties of Senseo flavored coffee more, but that is not to say that I dislike this variety, it's really quite wonderful.
Each to his own I guess - but we love Senseo coffee! February 13, 2006

As a very frugal spender, I had observed this new design of coffee making in the stores and thought the process made sense - so I was ecstatic to receive an email of a promotion one day, I drove many miles to save some bucks and continue to be pleased beyond belief with every new kind of coffee we try. We didn't like the competing cheaper brands but we find Douwe Egbert's Senseo brands consistently delicious. The flavors are subtle enough that we don't feel we're drinking a cup of chemicals. If you like strong coffee, then stick to the 4 oz per pod suggestion. If that seems strong or bitter, we find we can get 2 or 3 more ounces from the pod and be very pleased. For the first time in my 30 year marriage, my husband doesn't make a point of commenting on the delicious coffee everytime we eat out - finally we have predictable great coffee at home. Being able to serve guests their choice of tea, flavors, or caffeine and have everyone enjoy the first cup out is a wonderful benefit.
