Esther, Rochford, Essex

+ Really easy to use, great if you like proper coffee by the cup!

- Not very good for multiple cups of coffee- not the machine for large dinner parties

+ Beautifully designed, this coffee machine is extremely easy to use and takes up relatively little space on the work surface. It delivers a pleasing "crema" to both regular and decaf coffee.

- In common with a small proportion of reviewers, we have unfortunately experienced a "new plastic" taint to our cups of coffee in the first couple of weeks. We have got round this by flushing the machine regularly and by rinsing out the water reservoir before every use. We trust this will soon no longer be necessary!

+ quick, easy, good coffee,

- not enough choices for coffee, and cappucino compared to other types, ie tassimo. and not as easy to find th coffee pods as in major supermarkets as tassimo - and if they hold one or two types, they dont stock the range
sometimes takes alittle long to reheat between refils

Lesley, Northwich , “Gourmet foodie”

+ No mess beautiful coffee in seconds. Easy to use, lives permanently on the kitchen counter and we use it every single day. One of the best kitchen items we have ever bought. The pods make great tasting coffee and even the decaf is lovely.

- The water reservoir is a bit fiddly to fill. Probably OK with water direct from the tap, but I use bottled water. Pods not available in some shops and in shops which do stock them tend to be a limited variety.

Water heats up so quickly it is ready in seconds.

Paulina, Cambridge , “single hard working parent”

+ I bought this one for my mum as a mothers day present. I already had one and she was very impressed with the taste of the coffee so I bought her one as a surprise. She loved it.
I love mine and wouldn't be without it.
The coffee tastes extra nice with a little bit of cream and for a special occasion, some baileys. yum

- The coffee pods are quite expensive as compared to filter coffee or instant but I don't buy instant coffee anymore unless I am making a coffee cake and the taste of the coffee from the senseo is much better than ordering coffee out at restaurants and cafes.

Nigel, Beechingstoke, Wilts

+ Very simple to use, good availability of coffee bags and it doesn't work out much more expensive to run than Nescafe Gold granules. Very quick.

- Used bags can get stuck to the top part of the machine if left for a while, and can be forgotten about when you put a new bag in leading to water going everywhere...but perhaps it's just me!
