Review of Senseo SL7832/55 Single Serve Supreme Coffee Machine, Chrome

Senseo SL7832/55 Single Serve Supreme Coffee Machine, Chrome

I previously owned the older (non-recalled) Senseo model and loved it; I used it daily for over two years. I recently purchased the deluxe, improved, model and the coffee tastes and smells like plastic. I've gone through an entire package of pods to see if the taste disappears; it has not. I don't know if the plasticy flavor and aroma is due to the deluxe model or the 'improvements' made in the overall design; however, I'm very dissatisfied with the system and will probably return it.

Product Description:
Uniquely designed, this coffeemaker brews a single serving of fresh gourmet coffee at the touch of a button, in under a minute. Because the appliance uses pre-measured coffee pods, the system is hassle-free, easy to clean, and guarantees a fresh, flavorful brew each time. The machine's mild 1.2-bar pressure system and special spray head produce an optimally balanced coffee-filtering process, while its patented "frothing chamber" ensures a frothy coffee layer. Simply fill the removable 32-ounce water reservoir with water, insert a pod, and lock the lid into place. The coffeemaker allows for selecting from multiple serving sizes using its interactive LCD display. Choose from a 3-ounce, 4-ounce, or 5-ounce cup, or a 6-ounce, 8-ounce or 10-ounce mug. Depending on the cup size selected and the number of pods used, it's easy to create a stronger or milder cup of coffee. Other highlights include an adjustable spout that can be raised and lowered to accommodate different size mugs, water-level indicator lights, dishwasher-safe parts for quick cleanup, and a free tea-pod holder. Shaped like a curved cylinder with a round base, the coffeemaker measures approximately 13-1/2 by 12 by 8-1/2 inches.
From the Manufacturer
The Senseo's mild pressure system heats water to 205 degrees Fahrenheit in a boiler consistently every time. Via the mild pressure system, the heated water is forced through the machine and is evenly distributed over the pre-measured coffee pod(s.) Exiting through a pinhole in the pod tray, the newly brewed Senseo coffee is projected into the base of the patented "frothing chamber" where it is lightly aerated to produce the frothy coffee layer. The machine brews at 1.2 bars. Espresso machines typically brew at 9 bars or higher and drip brewers do not use pressure. The machine then distributes either individual or double servings of gourmet Senseo coffee simultaneously--the whole process taking on average only 45 seconds. Easy to Use, Flavorful Results
A Variety of Coffee Choices
Senseo offers a varied selection of blends and flavors. In addition to the first four original blends, Medium, Dark, and Decaffeinated, you can also choose from Breakfast Blend, Paris Vanilla Bistro, Vienna Hazelnut Waltz, Sumatra Blend, Brazil Blend, Kenya Blend, Senseo Cappuccino, and Senseo Espresso.

Review of Melitta MES2R One:One Single Serve Coffee Maker

Melitta MES2R One:One Single Serve Coffee Maker
Average Reviews:

I bought the Melitta for it's ease of use and good looks.The first time I used it, the regular coffee was fair and the decaf was bitter.Disappointed, we also bought pods from other coffee makers and stuffed them in the holder.Despite the inelegant process, they didn't leak and the coffee was a little better.I agree with other reviewers that the the water reservoir is too small and it's difficut to fill.I spill a bit every time I refill, but that's me. The unit takes several minutes to heat up to operating temperature for cup number one and the second cup takes almost as long - go figure? Also, the coffee doesn't come out as hot as I like, but pre-warming the cup with hot tap water helps a bit.The tea pods are a waste of time. Basically, the tea's not very good so if that's the reason you are buying this unit, may I suggest you look elsewhere or buy decent loose tea and brew it in a pot like the Brits?The best thing we found you could make with unit is a half-way decent cafe mocca. Try this: Get a big mug. Fill with the contents of a hot cocoa pack.Install your favorite coffee pod. Press the regular mug button. When it finishes, press the smaller mug button (that's right, run water through 1 pod twice).The result is an acceptable cafe mocca - definitely not Starbucks but not $11.00 either. As for that elusive perfect "cuppa" - this isn't going to give it to you. Convenient, good looking, but only a fair cup-a-Joe.

Quick Update: I tried Maxwell House pods over the weekend.Stuffed them in the holder and the result, a very nice cup of coffee. Again, pre-heating the mug with tap water really helped. These pods are made from 100% Arabica beans - great smell and no bitterness.I like a smooth cup and so far, this is it (I had 2 with Sunday breakfast and my NY Times Crossword puzzle.)

Review of Black & Decker GT300 Home Café Coffeemaker, Black

Black & Decker GT300 Home Café Coffeemaker, Black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have this machine, I've used it fairly heavily for a couple of weeks now, and so far, I love it!

Granted, I woudn't replace my high-quality bean grinder and drip coffee maker at home for any pod brewer.However, I have discovered that the single-serve pod brewer, like this Black & Decker,occupies a niche for me--on my desk at work (further discussion on this at the end) For that purpose, this machine has peformed admirably so far, as long as you use the proper pods.

The coffee is reasonably hot; the sizes produced have been consistent; the machine hasn't leaked at all; and it works quickly.It's a teensy bit on the loud side,but since it works for only a minute or so, this hasn't been any problem.

Perhaps one of its greatest bragging points over similar machines is that it's designed to accomodate tall vessels, like travel mugs.This is truly a great feature.Other machines accomodate nothing taller than a standard mug or coffee cup.

There are some general considerations, however about this, and in fact, any, pod brewer.To those who have tried pod machines and soon or immediately dismissed them because of poor coffee quality, I say this:It is possible to get passable, if not even decent, coffee out of these machines, but I have discovered that it takes some experimentation, and it is of the utmost inmportance to find the best pods for your particular brand of machine. Coffee quality varies wildly by the brand of pods/machine model combination, and I think it'e more due to pod and pod holder size/shape/construct than to the actual coffee inside.

Case in point with the Black & Decker GT300 system:I have found that using the Millstone pods, especially the Columbian Supremo Medium roast, Makes a pretty darn good cup of coffee. The Folger's pods work pretty well too, though the Millstone is better.

But I recently tried the Maxwell House Cafe Collection French Roast pods in the machine, and though I used two pods, I got back what looked like slightly tan water, rather than coffee.

I tried again with two pods, same result.Hoping the problem was with the pods and not the machine, I switched back to the Millstone pods, and everyting was great again.

I examined the situation, and came to the conjclusion that the Maxwell house pods are of a mildly different shape, the pouch having a slightly smaller diameter, and at least for this machine, this allows the water to mostly run around the outside of the pod and out, unsteeped, into the cup.

(Therefore I can't comment on the quality of the Maxwell House coffee, since I didn't get a proper brew sample in the first place.)

The Maxwell House pod problem notwithstanding, given the proper pods, and the proper niche, I'm enjoying the heck out of this machine.

More about the niche thing:I am a long-time lover of good coffee, but I don't have many reasonable options at work.We have a coffee club here, with a drip maker, but they always buy the cheapest canned store brand, and they leave it on the burner all day. Plus, there's the usual silent tussle about making the next pot if you finish it.How many coffee clubs have the problem of a half-cup sitting in the pot all day because no one wants to have to make the next pot?

That was one of three options I had available to me. The two were the local restaurant/cafe, which had inconvenient hours and unpredictable coffee quality/availability even when open, or climbing into my car and driving to the local Starbucks (no comments either way on Starbucks here.) Having my own drip machine or French press at my desk is way too much of a hassle and mess.

Given those options, I have found a pod machine, and specifically this Black & Decker, to be a more than satisfactory product for my needs.As long as I have the right pods:-]

Review of Perfect Pod Maker Plus Bonus 50 Extra Filters

Perfect Pod Maker Plus Bonus 50 Extra Filters
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased a single-serving coffee maker awhile ago and found myself burnt out on the available pod flavors. So I got this pod maker and I very much enjoyed being able to make my own pods. However, this product doesn't last very long. I have since read several reviews from other sites with the same problem. My pod maker worked great for about 9 months. After that the heating element would no longer heat. I called the number in the manual several times and got an answering machine every time. I left messages but never did get a response. I refuse to spend another 40 dollars for a product that doesn't even last a year. However, I did find a way to continue making pods. I took the product apart and removed the heating element and all the electronics. The plastic base is the only part you need to keep. I use a small travel size iron to heat the pods which seals them just as well if not better than the original heating element. You will want to use an iron without water to avoid get the pod wet while sealing it.

Note: This product will fail, but with a little adjustment you can still use it to make your favorite coffee pods.

Review of Perfect Pod Maker

Perfect Pod Maker

(More customer reviews)
I started into this world of pods and k-cups when my expensive espresso machine died and they wanted $600 to fix it. I bought a Breville K-cup brewer (uses Keurig cups). I started spending lots of money on k-cups and feeling S.O.L. if I didn't order on time and I ran out of luck. So I bought a Pod Holster to fit into the machine so that I could use any pod I wanted. I noticed that they were sold as a set so based on the reviews I set out to see if the Perfect Pod maker could really hold its own. I love seeing a product in action so I decided to give you what I look for-a video review.
