Make Your Own Pods At Home!!   October 23, 2004

I really like my new Senseo maker, but I found that with one pod the flavor was too weak and with two it was too strong. So I found a way that anyone can make their own pods at home on another website.
Now I make my very own coffee pods with my favorite brand of coffee. It costs a LOT less and the flavor is EXACTLY right.


Don't Purchase from Target   October 11, 2004

This coffee machine is probably the best coffee maker I've ever used, so long as you use their coffee pods. I purchased mine from Target...what a disaster since they don't keep consistent stock of the recommended coffee pods for this coffee maker. I now purchase my pods from Amazon...they are dependable, in-stock and tax free.


Great machine, lousy coffee   June 14, 2004

On a recent trip to Holland I had the opportunity to experience
your excellent Senseo coffee. I liked it so much that upon my return to
Seattle I immediately checked for the machine's availability in the
United States and was thrilled to find it at Amazon.com. Last week I
bought the Senseo machine along with four boxes of medium roast
decaffeinated pods. I also received one package of regular medium roast
and one package of mild roast with the Senseo machine.

To my horror all of the coffee I received is a very poor
substitute of the Douwe Egberts coffee I enjoyed so much in Holland.
The coffee that was delivered to me is weak and tasteless. In fact, to
get halfway decent coffee I have to use two pods for one four-ounce cup.
This is unacceptable not only from the point of view of expense, it also
limits the use of the machine to one four-ounce serving at the time.

I request that you provide Senseo coffee machine users here with
the same quality coffee you sell in Holland (at $16.99 for a four-pack
of pods it is more than twice as expensive here, which I'm willing to
pay only if the coffee is of the same superior quality). Starbucks is a
huge success in this country because it sells real coffee, not some
watered-down version of the real thing.

Until I receive quality coffee to substitute for the poor coffee
I now have, I will tell my friends, neighbors, colleagues and anybody
else who might be interested not to invest in the Senseo machine. In
the meantime I would be happy to return the coffee to you because I have
no use for it. Please let me know when and how you expect to remedy
this situation. If I do not hear from you within a week or so I will
return the Senseo machine and the remaining unused portion of the coffee
to Amazon.com for a full refund.

I look forward to hearing from you.


Full-flavored Decaf!   June 29, 2004

I recently bought a Senseo machine and the Douwe Egberts Coffee pods. The pods make a full-flavored decaf that is very enjoyable. I agree the medium roast and mild roast are weak sisters compared to the dark roast.

Medium is what several of my guests prefer, however. I use the dark for myself and they all make a very good cuppa joe. MUCH better than my drip machine, and a lot easier to use than my espresso maker.
