Good Points

It makes great coffee.


Bad Points

IT LEAKS. Almost from day one, a puddle of brown liquid has formed underneath. My wife is threatening it at the moment, so I feel its days are numbered.
The coffee is hot, but not piping hot, so it gets cold quickly. We drink it black, so those adding milk might find this an issue.


General Comments

I've read comments about people finding the coffee weak, but I have not experienced that. Douwe Egberts Senseo comes in mild, medium and strong flavours, and my wife and I use the medium. The decaffeinated tastes good too. Kenco pods were available from Tesco and Sainsburys (and they were cheaper than the Senseo), but they've stopped putting them on the shelves. Perhaps a sign that the popularity of the machine has waned.

We live in a very hard water area, and it is noticeable that the production of a cup of coffee takes longer over time, and the taste is affected too, so we clean it regularly. I have no experience with other coffee machines, but the Philips HD7810/60 Senseo coffee machine is a closed system, and it cannot be dismantled, so you have to take it on trust that the cleaning operation has succeeded.

I would recommend this as it is so cheap, and it makes good coffee with the proviso that the new owner is aware of the leakage problem.
