Senseo Single Serve Coffee Maker Review

The single cup Senseo coffeemaker from Philips is a handy machine for the person who likes a quick mug of coffee in around a minute's time. These single service coffee makers are becoming more and more popular as people find themselves not drinking an entire pot that was brewed from a conventional drip machine. Sometimes you only need one or two cups so why spend the extra time and energy brewing up a full pot.

This Senseo coffee maker is easy to use and only requires a few simple steps. First you must fill the water reservoir to the line. Next, put in the pod or pods of the appropriate flavor and push the on button. Brewing a fast cup really couldn't be much easier than that. We give this machine a high rating in the ease of use department, with a good rating in the flavor department. One downfall to using it is you are required to use a prepackaged coffee pod. While this makes it easy to use it also limits you to your flavor selection. One other drawback is if you are looking to serve a full 8 ounce cup or mug you may need to use two pods. If you use only one then you may find the coffee a little weak tasting. When brewing a full mug of coffee we would use two pods as we enjoy a stronger flavor, but you may need to experiment to get it just right.
