This system has some drawbacks. First, it's not suitable for large families or heavy coffee drinkers or unless you're planning to spend five times the amount on your coffee. It's not an Espresso Maker It uses a mild pressure to brew coffee, but does not produce the thick froth, also known as crema. It's the same thing you get with an espresso.

Another issue is that the spout of the machine is small, which means it will be difficult to get your coffee into a regular mug. If you're willing to make the sacrifice for a smaller spout, this is a fantastic coffee maker that is very simple to use and offers a quick and convenient cup of coffee each time.

Features

This is a fantastic little machine, very easy to use and a quick coffee maker. Switch it on and wait until the red light stops flashing, insert a pod, press a cup or two, and the machine does the rest. In about 30 seconds it will make a great 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 some countries). The pods are filled with a blend of instant coffee and finely-ground and roasted beans. They are sealed in an airtight envelope. This lets the pods brew in a very short time, while preserving the full taste and aroma of the coffee while allowing you to take pleasure in the rich crema coffee layer on the top.

All Senseo machines use the same quick brewing process however, there are three distinct variations based on which type of latte you wish to make: cappuccino cafe latte, and macchiato. Each one can be made with foam or without milk, and there's the choice of regular or extra strong decaffeinated coffee.

The machine is compact and sleek. It fits nicely on the counter top of your kitchen and won't smudge a Sub-Zero fridge or Viking range. It also is very efficient in energy use, taking less than a minute for two or three cups of coffee. It is programmed to turn off automatically and its parts that can be removed-like the coffee pad holder, water reservoir and drip tray-are dishwasher-safe.

It also comes with a year limited warranty. It is easy to clean, needing only a few rinses of the water tank or the spout. The drip tray and coffee pad holders can also be cleaned and the exterior is easy to clean.

The Senseo system's biggest disadvantage is that it can only make one or two 8-ounce cups per time. This isn't suitable for large families and heavy drinkers. It's not for people who prefer their coffee in a standard mug because it's not compatible.

Conclusions

Senseo is a great coffee pod machine that can help you save time and energy. It is a simple to use and clean, and it makes a good cup of coffee in just a few minutes time. The coffee is delicious and the crema on top is a nice feature.

This coffee machine is compatible with Douwe Egberts capsules Senseo, which have an airtight foil-based system that creates a rich crema layer over the coffee. The coffee is a blend of Arabica beans that are guaranteed to be full-flavored.

The Senseo machine is capable of making three different types of coffee that use foamed milk, including cappuccino, cafe latte and latte macchiato. These aren't really cappuccinos since the Senseo system uses only an incredibly low amount of pressure to make coffee. However, the coffee is still delicious and will save you time and effort, plus there is no need for a separate milk frother.
