There are a few disadvantages to this method. It's not for large families, or drinkers who consume a lot of coffee - unless they want to pay five times more per cup. Second, it's not an espresso maker. it uses a mild pressure to brew coffee, but it doesn't make the thick froth called crema that you find with an espresso.
Another issue is that the spout on the machine is small, so it can be a challenge to pour your coffee into a standard mug. However, if you're willing to give up for a smaller spout, this is a fantastic coffee machine that's very easy to use and offers an instant and efficient cup of coffee every time.
Features
This is a great small machine, easy to use and a quick coffee maker. Switch the machine on, wait until the red light ceases to flash after which you can insert a pod and press one or more cups, and the machine does the rest. In about 30 seconds it has made a good cup of decent coffee. the spout can be adjusted to fit any size mug.
The system uses specially developed Douwe Egberts coffee pods (called pads in certain countries). The pods are filled with a mixture of instant coffee and finely ground and roasted beans. They are then sealed in an airtight container. This allows the pods to be brewed in a very short time, preserving the full taste and aroma of the coffee while allowing you to enjoy the rich crema coffee layer that is placed on top.
All
senseo single serve coffee maker machines feature the same quick brewing process, but there are three different variants depending on the type of latte you'd like to make: cappuccino, cafe latte, as well as latte macchiato. Each one can be made with foam or without milk, and you have the option of regular or extra strong decaffeinated coffee.
The machine is small and modern in design. It's a good fit for the counter in the kitchen and won't embarrass the Sub-Zero refrigerator or Viking range. It is also extremely energy efficient, consuming less than a minute to prepare one or two cups of coffee. It is programmed to turn off automatically and its parts that are removable, including the coffee pad holder, water reservoir and drip tray are dishwasher-safe.
It comes with a one-year limited warranty. It is easy to clean by rinsing only occasionally of the water tank and the spout. The drip tray and coffee pad holder as well as the exterior of the machine may also be cleaned.
The Senseo system's biggest drawback is that it can only make a couple of 8-ounce cups per time. This isn't suitable for large families and heavy drinkers. It also isn't for people who prefer their coffee in a standard mug because it can't accommodate them.
Conclusions
Senseo is a fantastic coffee pod maker for anyone looking to save time and effort. It is simple to clean and use, and can make a great cup of coffee quickly. The coffee is delicious and the crema on top is a nice touch. The downside of this coffee machine is that the pods are quite expensive, but there are more affordable alternatives. You can also buy a reusable filter for this machine that can cut down on your costs significantly.
The coffee machine will automatically turn off after the brewing cycle has finished. This helps save energy and money, and ensures the machine is in top working condition. It is also a more eco-friendly alternative to an espresso maker since it requires less steam and water.
The machine can be used with Douwe Egberts capsules Senseo, that have an airtight foil-based system that makes a rich crema layer on top of the coffee. The coffee is made from arabica beans and is guaranteed to have a full flavour.
The Senseo machine is capable of producing three types of coffee using foamed milk: cappuccino cafe latte, and latte macchiato. These coffees are not true cappuccinos however, since the Senseo system only uses gentle pressure to brew coffee and doesn't produce genuine espresso. However, the coffee is still delicious and it will help you save time and effort, not to mention there is no need for an additional milk frother.
