A list of better pod choices
Everyone I know that uses a pod brewer at home or work loves it. Fresh coffee made to order, endless variety, no waste, etc. It is a shame that so many settle for the coffee pods made by big commerical roasters like Melitta and Douwe Egberts. The blends used by these big companies are bland and boring compared to all the great coffees offered by smaller roasters. Having had the opportunity to taste a variety of pods, I hope the list below of my favorites is helpful. Many of these are also much b...

regrettably, no flavors besides weak and bitter
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...

HOORIBLE I WANT MY MONEY BACK
I bought these pods on Amazon because they were a dollar cheaper than at the local grocery store. Now I know why. When I opened the package the Senseo Watermark was faint or hardly visable and it took me 3x the amount of pods to make a decent cup of coffee. Buyer beware, I am back to buying pods at the grocery store.

The SENSIBLE SENSEO - but with a bit 'o' blarney
I'm very much like reviewer R. Seeburger of Redwood City, CA. I love my Senseo machine. It's inexpensive to purchase and use. There is NO waste, and it takes very little time.
Where the pods themselves are concerned, I must admit that with the exception of the Vanilla Bistro pods (FIVE stars) the other flavors are just TOO subtle to be tasted. This is true of the Killarney blend reviewed here (and ESPECIALLY true of their "Vienna Hazelnut Waltz", which I do NOT recommend at all.) ...

Better tasting than the Dark Roast pods
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. ...

I wish it could be ZERO stars!!!
Anyone who really loves a gourmet cup of coffee will HATE this! It's burnt, bitter, weak, battery-acid! And, as consequence, those coffee lovers may begin to hate their new Senseo -- but take heart! Many online coffee shops now offer decent to delectable coffees at prices that rival this cheap swill. I don't specifically want to endorse any one product or online retailer but do a google search for "senseo compatible pods" and you'll find several on the first page. Also, please note that while th...

Surprisingly good
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 ...

Senseo Paris Vanilla Bistro Coffee Pods
This is the BEST coffee for those who like flavored coffee. I was hooked on the first cup. But to my disappointed Amazon is out of stock now. So when will they get it back in stock? I ordered direct from Senseo but with shipping and their price it was not a savings. I will be first in line when Amazon decides to sell it again.

Senseo coffees
Got a deal on the machine, and love the concept. But every senseo coffee I have tasted has been absolutely horrible. I've tried 4 oz with one pod- way too bitter so 8 oz with 1 pod...still the most awful coffee I've ever had. Normally I drink Gevalia, but I use Folgers sometimes or Millstone...
I don't think I could drink this stuff on a regular basis if someone paid me. Of all the purchases I've made at Amazon, this has been the first time I've ever felt compelled to give feedback. Th...

Each to his own I guess - but we love Senseo coffee!
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. ...
