General Comments
I had read so many good reviews about the Philips HD7810/60 Senseo Coffee Machine, that I thought it was worth a try. Was I mistaken.

It was a choice between a £40 Senseo or a much more expensive espresso machine. I didn't even look at the espresso machines as the reviews for the Senseo were so good.

So given the price I wasn't expecting a great deal. I had read that it only accepted the Senseo sachets so I used these. I followed the instructions to flush the machine. And then I was ready to make my first cup.

It was noisy but then so is an espresso machine I told myself. But the coffee had the cream top, and then I tasted it. It was so weak. Maybe it's because I'm using medium roast, so I tried the stronger variety, but still it was weak.

Then I moved the machine, and there was puddle of coffee coloured water underneath. It leaked and it still leaks, the coffee is weak probably because it leaks.
